Menopause Treatment London: We provide a safe, gentle approach to menopausal issues. Non pharmaceutical medicine to support a woman through the menopause. Each prescription is formulated to meet each patient’s unique needs. Non pharmaceutical medicine has become a popular, safe and effective alternative for women with debilitating menopausal symptoms, particularly in the light of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study of 2002, which suggested that health risks may exceed benefits during prolonged hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

“I was really struggling with the menopause, I thought I was going mad. I couldn’t sleep, I’d wake up drenched from terrible night sweats. I had no appetite but the weight was piling on. My memory was shot to pieces, the brain fog was awful I kept forgetting words and losing my train of thought in work meetings and once even in the middle of a presentation. Suddenly my anxiety levels were through the roof and I would worry about the simplest of things, like even getting on a train (and I have been a commuter for over 30 years). Hot flushes would come out of nowhere and were debilitating. I was constantly tearful even getting upset and feeling overwhelmed doing the weekly supermarket shop. I felt I had completely lost control. In desperation I went to Deborah for help, and help me she did! Within days of using her medication the symptoms improved, and after a few weeks they had gone completely. Her treatment changed my life and now I feel like me again, instead of some unhinged zombie. I can’t thank her enough and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”  – Nuala, London

The effect of the initial publications of the WHI resulted in a decline in HRT use of around 50% in the UK. Recent research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA, one of the world’s foremost medical research centres, states that “the study of alternative therapies for menopause symptoms is a rewarding and important area deserving of further inquiry”. The NHS is also listing several medicinal plants in their leaflet on alternative therapies for the treatment of menopausal symptoms.

We have successfully treated many women, who come to our clinic for help in alleviating uncomfortable and debilitating menopausal symptoms. In most cases it is easy to get significant results in a relatively short period of time. Most patients are feeling considerably better by the time of their first follow-up consultation, which is usually four weeks after the initial consultation.

“I am normally very calm and positive but the menopause made me feel like a different person. At times I felt unhinged and struggled with like both at work and at home. I wanted to avoid HRT. Having read that non pharmaceutical medicine can help, I made an appointment. I can’t believe how much better I feel!” – Fiona, Hampstead.

Our approach to menopause treatment London clinic can alleviate hot flushes and night sweats. We also address, where necessary, any anxiety, stress or depression that may be present. Patients feel the benefit of this, reporting that they feel more like their old self. The non pharmaceutical treatment supports the body, while the transition (menopause) takes place. Patients are gradually taken off the medication, once the body has settled into menopause and there are no longer any unpleasant symptoms. The time factor is different for each woman as we are all unique.
