Do you have heavy periods? Have you thought about taking the pill to lighten your flow? Did you know that holistic health care can help you find the real reason for your heavy periods?
This might seem surprising, but stress, especially chronic stress, can make your periods heavier. Dr. Christiane Northrup also recognizes this in her practice. While there are other causes of heavy periods that should be ruled out, stress is known to exacerbate hormonal imbalance. So if your hormones are already out of balance, stress can make your symptoms worse.
The pill is commonly prescribed for hormonal imbalance, but it will not reduce your stress or correct your body’s hormone imbalance at a deep level. Holistic health care offers options for managing stress and finding the underlying reasons for your hormonal imbalance.
Dr. Marina Rose helps women around the city of San Jose, CA and across the country to address the underlying cause of heavy periods.
To get started balancing your hormones without the pill, the first step is to identify identify if your body is making excess “stress hormones” like cortisol. If so, there are supplements that can restore balance quickly and easily. It is important to know what the levels are since the symptoms of too high are similar to the symptoms of too low a level.
Working with a practitioner of holistic health care can help you continue to identify and change the causes of hormonal imbalance in your life.
