Balancing Hormones Naturally: Life Skills for our Daughters - presentation for teens
Laura Metz, licensed acupuncturist, will speak about how to balance hormones naturally with acupuncture, herbal medicines, and nutrition. The focus of the presentation will be to teach teens and their families the skills to keep hormones balanced in the teen years and beyond. The lessons learned will empower young women to understand their bodies and to recognize what symptoms appear from hormonal imbalances. Laura will discuss what a "normal" menstrual cycle should look like and give natural remedies to help correct imbalances. If time permits, the presentation will include a hands-on demonstration on how to make teas and tinctures and demonstrate the use of herbal medicines effectively and inexpensively.
