Menopause, PMS

In China the menopause is known as the Second Spring and it is regarded as a time when women often find a new and more confident voice. Menopause is an emotional, mental and spiritual transition in addition to the experience of physical changes. Women at midlife are valued for their wisdom and respected for their life experience. Women often take a deep look at the meaning of their lives thus far and re-evaluate themselves, their relationships. Every situation is unique, as every woman’s experience is unique.

Drawing on all my knowledge I've selected essential oils that helped me and I’ve created a unique blend to help us celebrate our Second Spring.

My room/pillow spray is aimed at soothing some of the symptoms and give us the ability to cope better with the discomforts and imbalances. I’ve chosen Clary Sage, Bergamot, Rose Absolute and Geranium Rose.
