Women's Natural Health

Interest in women's health has exploded over the past few
decades, both in the medical profession and in society as a
whole. Popular topics, among researchers and magazine
publishers alike, include hormone replacement therapy,
breast cancer, heart disease, the benefits of vitamins and
supplements, fitness and exercise, anti-aging techniques,
and sexual health. This surge in interest offers a fertile
environment for unproven procedures to make inflated claims
about the benefits they can offer women.

Constant advances in science and technology also offer us
one new synthetic product after another. However, one of
the oldest and most well-established approaches to
addressing women's health concerns, and one which is
enjoying a resurgence in popularity, is the use of
all-natural products as an alternative to chemically
invasive products and procedures. Natural remedies can be
particularly effective in weight loss, as sleep aids, for
pain relief, and as anti-aging supplements.

The key with weight loss is to maintain a healthy middle
ground, and herbal supplements can help you do just that.
Our society struggles both with obesity and with people who
are too thin due to an obsession with their weight. The
goal for every woman should be to reach and maintain a
healthy weight and a good level of fitness. Extra weight,
and especially an elevated body fat percentage, takes a
great toll on a woman's heart, joints, and back. Weight
loss, approached in a healthy way through smart eating,
exercise, and natural supplements, can reduce the risk of
diabetes and other health problems, and can significantly
extend your life span. Natural weight loss supplements can
be especially helpful for women who are diagnosed as obese,
because they can help counteract hunger pangs and lead to
the healthy eating that is so crucial for any weight loss
program. Certain natural supplements also act as natural
hormone balancers and can provide assistance to those for
whom a hormone imbalance is contributing to their weight
issues.

A good night's sleep is rejuvenating and restorative and
helps your body cope with all other health issues. The
health of your body and mind, your ability to have a
productive day, your alertness, problem solving ability,
memory and general mental health, and even the length and
happiness of your life – all are impacted by the quality of
sleep you get. Getting a good night's sleep is hard these
days, as our homes, work places, and society in general get
more and more stressful, noisy, and fast-paced. Many people
resort to prescription sleep aids, and the numbers of new
prescriptions every year continues to grow. There is a
natural alternative, however, for those who do not wish to
risk becoming dependent on a prescription sleep aid or deal
with the associated side effects. Natural sleep aids can
help you enter a relaxed and restful sleep without the
worry of dependency. Ergonomic pillows and relaxing music
can also provide comfort and support, and create an
environment conducive to sleeping well. The best thing
about these all natural products is that you can sleep well
without the risk of dependency.

Pain can plague women as a result of old age, physical
illness, extensive exercise, strained muscles or broken
bones. Supermarkets and pharmacies have aisles and aisles
of pills, powders and bandages to help with pain relief.
Some common over-the-counter pain relief medication can
cause mild side effects like drowsiness or nausea.
Prescription pain medication like Vicodin and Percocet can
have even more serious side effects and are addictive and
dangerous if not taken carefully. A safer option for pain
relief is found among the variety of all-natural products
that relieve muscle and joint pain, as well as relax the
body for a general improvement of the body and soul. Some
examples of natural pain relief products are vitamins,
supplements, herbs, ointments, creams and bath formulas to
reduce inflammation.

Finally, though we all grow older, most anti-aging
marketing is aimed at women. The aging process is hastened
by free radicals, substances produced in the body during
the processing of food and conversion of energy. Free
radicals can be neutralized by antioxidants, thus
preventing premature aging and disease. All-natural
anti-aging antioxidants are on the cutting edge of natural
supplements. These vitamins and herbs specifically
counteract the production of free radicals that attack
youthful skin and cause unwanted wrinkles. As an added
bonus, anti-aging antioxidants also improve cardiovascular
health and may reduce the risk of heart disease and
diabetes.

This brings us full circle, back to a heart-healthy
lifestyle supported by the use of natural supplements. As
women lead busier and busier lives, balancing careers,
families, and work in the community, it is more important
than ever that we take good care of ourselves. Though
modern medicine will continue to offer us shiny new
solutions to age-old problems, the use of natural remedies
and supplements is always a safe, gentle, and balanced
option for those of us who want to draw on the homeopathic
knowledge of the ages of practitioners who were addressing
women's health concerns long before there was ever a
magazine cover.
