Menopause is treated as a disease in conventional medicine circles but is this necessary? Menopause is a woman’s birthright; the right to move freely into the next phase of life where we truly know who we are and have a sense of freedom. Moving through this phase comfortably is a priority and nature offers options for supporting normal healthy hormone production as well as support for symptoms that may be uncomfortable.
