For those in the Mesa, AZ area, Rose Canyon Health and Wellness<\/a>, provides hot flash relief, including menopausal and post-menopausal treatment options including the use of bioidentical hormones<\/a>. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is very effective because bioidentical hormones are created in a laboratory from natural elements, making them molecularly identical to hormones made by the body. Bioidentical hormones are very effective as a treatment option because they have fewer side effects than traditional HRT and they mimic hormones produced by the body more closely than synthetic hormones do. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHot Flashes: How Rose Canyon Health and Wellness Can Make a Difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
