Lavender is probably one of the most well researched essential oils and the results overall are extremely encouraging.

One of the areas it performs well time after time is in regards to sleep and relaxation.

Various sleep studies have found the inhalation of Lavender essential oil to be an effective, reliable and accessible method for relieving insomnia, improving sleep quality and daytime fatigue.

The season of Autumn is represented by the Earth element.

Autumn is the perfect time to turn the attention inwards, like a tree, sending the focus down to the roots, centring and grounding.

Earthy essential oils, extracted from the trunks of trees, such as Frankincense, Myrrh, Benzoin, Peru balsam, Sandalwood and Cedarwood all have calming, grounding qualities that help to instill a feeling of inner peace.

Today is World Menopause Awareness Day 2025.

The awareness day was started by the International Menopause Society in 2009, 16 years ago! Despite this and the fact that Menopause will at some stage affect 51% of the population, awareness on the subject is sadly lacking. Thats why awareness days like these are so important!

This years theme is 'Lifestyle Medicine', with a focus on the impact that lifestyle changes such as nutrition, stress management, sleep and movement / exercise can have on symptom management and overall wellbeing.

If you would like to find out more you can visit the International Menopause Society website at https://www.imsociety.org/education/world-menopause-day-2025/ or visit my blogposts on the topic of menopause and lifestyle at wildfloweraromatics.co.uk/embracing-change/ (Link in profile)

Please like and share to further raise awareness :)

If you go down to the woods today, you'll likely see a lot of fungi, dead leaves and moss.

And maybe even some cyclamen flowers and tree trunks that look like cadburys flakes 😉

October is Menopause Awareness month and the focus this year is 'Lifestyle medicine'.
So, heres my latest blog post, all about embracing change with lifestyle medicine ☺️

About 18 months ago, I achieved Menopause, that brief moment in time, which marks a whole year without me**es. Yay, for me, I am now post-menopausal! As a Holistic Therapist of 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with menopausal women, helping them manage their own menopausal symptoms, so ...

Autumn marks the end of the growing season, as nature dies back, trees shed their leaves and turn their attention inwards. As they prepare to enter a period of dormancy.

It's considered a season of change and transformation but also one of inward reflection and rest.

And like the trees, we too are invited to turn our attention inwards, to embrace the shorter days and longer nights. And to engage in grounding, relaxation practices, whilst also reflecting on the achievements of the past year and shedding anything that we no longer need.

It's the perfect time to connect with nature and the Earth element, with grounding practices such as yoga and meditation, using woody, earthy aromatherapy blends and eating plenty of nourishing root veggies.

Natural medicine is all around us.

Here's some Feverfew, just growing happily in the middle of a street.

Feverfew as its name suggests lowers fevers and can help to dispel heat, inflammation and pain.

I didn't pick any though, what with it being at dog p*e height 😆

If you want to grow 🍏 but you're low on space, get a dwarf apple tree.

This tree might be small but it is my most abundant fruit tree. Producing loads of tasty apples year after year, with very little help from me 😊
