At Relaxing Therapies we understand that everyone’s experience of the menopause is different. Going through the menopause can be a time of great change physically and emotionally as we understand what is happing to our bodies.The menopause is a natural process as our hormones change, making small lifestyle changes and lowering stress can be beneficial to help ease symptoms.How can Holistic Therapies support your during the menopause?Holistic Treatments give you a time to pause and relax. Something we seem to struggle with as women. In the Western world we seem to find the need to keep busy and feel guilty when we take the time to stop and do things for ourselves. Not taking time for us turns in to stress. Stress during the perimenopause and menopause can make many of the symptoms worse. Stress also directly affects our hormones and can put them out of balance. When we are constantly bombarded with stress, we tend to feel tired, emotional, eat more sugar and feel overwhelmed and run down.Holistic therapies work directly with the nervous system and sends messages to the brain to calm the body to let it know it is safe and okay to relax. During a reflexology treatment we focus on working the systems throughout the whole body and emotions stored so that the body naturally comes back to balance. Aromatherapy oils can help to balance the physical body and our emotions. Choosing skin care and body products is also important during this time as they soak into our bodies and chemical products can cause the bodies lymphatic system and liver to work harder as it eliminates these chemicals.A study done by Alice Domar PhD, Harvard University with perimenopausal women who participated in organised relaxation had a • 30% reduction in hot flushes.• Drop in tension, anxiety and depression.• Fewer mood swings and more stable emotions.Holistic Therapy can support the menopause as it aids relaxation, improves mood, releases stress and tension, aids sleep and improves wellbeing.Having regular treatments and introducing some lifestyle changes during this time can help you get the best from your menopause journey.
