The neck and shoulder cherry stone pillows I make have been and still are an absolute game changer for me during hot flushes, as they can be frozen and then worn around neck and shoulders to help cool you down.

Let's talk Meopause........
One of the issues I have not mentioned in these posts on Menopause is how our skin
changes so much.....
*Loss of Elasticity: Reduced estrogen levels cause a decrease in collagen production, leading to less firm and more sagging skin.�
*Dryness and Dullness: Menopause often results in decreased moisture retention, causing dry, flaky, and dull skin.�
*Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The reduction in collagen and elastin fibres accelerates the formation of fine lines and deeper wrinkles.�
*Slower Cell Turnover: Skin renewal processes slow down, making skin appear dull and less vibrant.�
*Altered Fat Distribution: Changes in fat stores can also affect skin appearance, leading to loss of volume in certain areas.�

Aromatherapy oils can provide several benefits for women experiencing menopause. These include:
*Mood Enhancement: Essential oils like citrus (orange, lemon) and clary sage can elevate mood and combat feelings of depression or mood swings.�
*Pain Relief: Oils such as rosemary and peppermint can help reduce muscle aches, joint pain, and headaches common during menopause.�
*Hormonal Balance: Clary sage and sage oils have been traditionally used to support hormonal balance, although scientific evidence varies.

It's important to use essential oils safely so talk to a qualified aromatherapist and consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have sensitivities or other health conditions.

Let's Talk Menopause.........
Going through this myself, it is mind-blowing what we as women go through.
Joint pain, hot flushes, anxiety, weight gain and the list goes on.
The worst one for me was the brain fog... thinking I was losing the plot and during this time I was my dad's full-time carer who had dementia. So I was in a very low place and not knowing what was going on with me! But over the past few years I have read and listened to a few books but the best was Davina Mccall's - Menopausing. For me this had the science and understanding I needed to hear.
So if you are going through Menopause, I am sending loads of love xx
