Overview
MENOPAUSE
Menopause is defined as a cease of menstruation and begins when the menstrual cycle ends. It is a normal part of the aging process that happens when women reach their late 40s to early 50s due to a natural decline in reproductive hormones. The signs and symptoms of menopause may vary amongst all women. Hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, urinary leakage, painful intercourse and night sweats can make even the strongest of women feel down and out due to the symptoms of menopause.

I absolutely love Sanctum. I recently started going for acupuncture due to losing my smell and taste and not having it for 8 months. After my first session with Dr. Edison my smell and taste is already coming back! I can't wait to keep going back.
