Menopausal symptoms are often treated with hormone replacement therapies, but I think the Eastern Medicine helps just as much the general menopausal malaises, such as sleeplessness, lethargy, chronic fatigue, agitation and irritability. In recent years, it’s been reported that more women in their late 30s and early 40s are starting to complain with menopausal symptoms, and a term “premenopause” has been coined for this period in women’s lives.
I advocate “Lifestyles with Yin”, and what I stress the most is
QUALITY SLEEP
Sleep is a very necessary activity to keep us alive. That’s why I make it my daily must to sleep tight at any given night. If you don’t get enough snooze, you can’t replenish “blood”, which would worsen hot flashes, poor skin conditions and irritability, which occur as a result of Yin deficiency. It’s safe to say that the Yin energy is the keeper of our femininity, so make sure you sleep well when you feel you may be entering your menopausal or premenopausal period.
The essential oil I have been into lately is
NEROLI.
I especially love to blend it with tranquilizing petitgrain, which is even regarded unsuitable when you need to focus.
