Dr. Goodman-Herrick specializes in addressing chronic illness, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease (i.e. Crohn’s disease) and multiple sclerosis. With empathy, she addresses the holistic mind-body cycles of both the stress these conditions can cause and the way stress can create flare-ups and worsen physical symptoms, so that you can live easier, more joyfully, and feel better.

Dr. Goodman-Herrick herself had persistent Lyme disease twice. Remarkably, when antibiotics didn’t cure it the second time, she treated herself with homeopathy. She has been interviewed for how having the disease provided her with more depth into working with patients who have it and the notable way in which she treated herself.

A lot of women, despite doing flow-tracking apps, “good” nutrition, exercise, and rest, still have difficult menstrual cycles. Homeopathy helps balance the whole system.

Unfortunately many women from the onset of their first menses suffer from pain and heavy flow and are led to believe this is inevitable.

Medication is often used as a stop gap measure to control pain and flow, but it does not correct the underlying problem. These menstrual difficulties may fade over time only to be replaced by intense pre-menstrual tension involving mood swings and anxiety. With Homeopathic treatment and dietary changes menstrual pain is eliminated and the flow normalizes.

For those women suffering from either pain, heavy flow or premenstrual syndrome, with treatment Dr. Goodman-Herrick often hears the comment,” I just got my period today and didn’t even realize it would be coming because I’ve felt so well.”

Women in peri-menopause or menopause sometimes turn to conventional hormone therapy or to bio-identical hormones and find relief in this way. While hormone therapy can be helpful it does not restore true balance. Other women wary of hormones often struggle on with night sweats, sleeplessness and mood changes until menopause comes to an end. Homeopathic treatment creates a new healthy balance.
