Embracing the menopausal transition
The Menopausal Transition: A time often referred to as the last menstrual flow of a woman’s life. Oh, but it is so much more!
The menopausal transition most often begins between ages 45 and 55. In the years leading up to that point, called perimenopause, women may have changes in their monthly cycles, hot flashes, insomnia, or weight gain.
This period can last up to seven years and can be influenced by early lifestyle factors. The menopausal transition affects each woman uniquely and in various ways. You may experience changes in your bone or heart health, your body shape and composition, or your physical function.
Physical symptoms: Hot flushes, Osteoporosis, weight gain, hair loss, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, excessive vaginal bleeding.
Mental symptoms: Depression, mood swings, anxiety, irritability, sleeplessness.
Homeopathy offers many great solutions to this powerful transition in a woman's life. Allow me to introduce you to 2 of our top remedies for menopause symptoms.
