It’s nearly the end of October which means we are coming to the end of our female health focus, so we thought we would talk about something that can signify the end of a hormonal chapter to a lot of women - the Menopause.
Marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years, menopause can cause mixed feelings. Some women embrace the end of monthly periods whilst others feel down. For some the symptoms can come in the years leading up to the menopause, can be uncomfortable.
Marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years, menopause can cause mixed feelings. Some women embrace the end of monthly periods whilst others feel down. For some the symptoms can come in the years leading up to the menopause, can be uncomfortable.
There are a whole range of symptoms due to the hormonal changes taking place. Many women experience symptoms such as lethargy, insomnia, hot flushes, low libido, increased risk of urinary tract infection and osteoporosis.
Here are a few things that could help you cope with the symptoms so you can still live life to the full throughout the menopause.
Lifting Energy
Licorice can help when suffering with insomnia as it can be especially effective when consumed in the morning to rebalance energy hormones and give you a nice gentle ‘pick me up’.
Siberian Ginseng is known to gently support your energy glands to produce energy without overworking them. When taken on a daily basis, this can have a positive effect on energy, general wellbeing and libido.
Looking youthful, cleansing and improving circulation
Vitamin E is an important vitamin to keep the skin looking and feeling youthful. Women leading up to and post menopause may experience vaginal atrophy (the thinning and inflammation of the vaginal walls due to the decline in oestrogen) which can be uncomfortable and increase the risk of infections.
Using vitamin E capsules as a suppository can be effective in encouraging circulation to the area.
Celery Seed cleanses the system and is especially effective at reducing the symptoms and protecting the kidneys against cystitis.
Balancing your hormones
Osteoporosis affects 50% of women once they reach the menopause. The theory is that this is due to the reduction in oestrogen. It is therefore recommended that women take nutrients to support the bone matrix such as calcium, vitamin K, vitamin D, boron and magnesium. In addition, herbs such as Red Clover can be taken to modulate female hormonal levels thus reducing the likelihood of bone breakdown.
Sleep Easy
Hops can have a calming effect on the nervous system. When combined with magnesium and amino acid; taurine 30 minutes before bedtime, it can really calm the system, relax your muscles and encourage calming chemicals in the brain to be released.
Stay healthy,
