Many women suffer debilitating effects with perimenopause and menopause. In keeping life simple here are some things to consider. First and foremost diet is essential. This time of life can lead to bone loss. Calcium and vitamin D are key. Eat a well balanced diet of vegetables, fruits, lean proteins and healthy fats. Healthy organic fats meaning olive oil, seeds, nuts and fish.
There are natural supplements and teas that are said to help with the side effects of menopause. Make your own tea blend for a relaxing sip or buy one already infused for you.
*Black Cohash
*Moringa
*Chasteberry
*Red Clover
*Wild Yam (as an extract or tincture)
If I were going to make my own morning tea I would make sure it contained Moringa tea, Red Clover and Chamomile teas. Yes, I would buy these teas separately and brew them together.
Let’s talk *ESSENTIAL OILS for perimenopause and menopause. There’s a long list of essential oils because the symptoms can go on and on and on.
*Clary Sage – hormone balancer
*SclarEssence – hormone balancer
*Peppermint – cool off
*Lavender – sleep and cool off
*Geranium – mood swings
*Neroli – libido and chill
*Frankinsense – help balance hormone levels
*Chamomile – contains phytoestrogens which are plant estrogens like our human estrogens. Camomile may help with hot flashes, anxiety, sleep and calm.
*Fennel – another phytoestrogen helping with hot flashes.
*Bergamot – anxiety and stress
*Sandalwood – anxiety, mood swings and sleep disturbances
*Patchouli – mood and emotional support
DIFFUSE these oils morning, noon and night.
Put them in Epsom Salts for a soothing BATH.
One great way to get a number of these essential oils into your daily life is to make an anti-aging FACE and NECK oil.
Here’s the one I make for my self:
Organic CaCay oil as a carrier (30 ml. bottle) click here http://Amazon.com (CaCay)
Rose Hip oil another carrier oil can be used for hot flashes (10 ml. Used in the recipe)
Argon oil for helping with skin hydration (10 ml. Used in the recipe) click here http://Amazon.com (mountain top)
Click here http://Amazon.com (Trilogy)
The essential oils in the blend:
Frankincense
Lavender
Sandalwood
Geranium
Neroli
Patchouli
I would use the 1 oz. bottle CaCay oil and 10 ml. of the Rose Hip oil and 10 ml. of Argan oil making the total carrier oils add to 50 ml. in total.
Now it is up to you what you want the percentage to be when combining the essential oils.
For example:
75 essential oil drops make it a 5% solution. Double that it is a 10% solution.
THE RECIPE
5 drops Patchouli
10 drops Neroli
10 drops Geranium
10 drops Sandalwood
20 drops Frankincense
20 drops Lavender
Add the 1 oz of Cacay (30ml), Rose Hip 10 ml. and Argan oil 10 ml. Those three carrier oils will add up to 50 ml. of oil.
Use the oil on your face and neck morning and night.
The essential oil blend *SCLAR ESSENCE contains Peppermint, Clary Sage, Fennel, and Sage Lavender essential oils. This can be placed on the bottom of your feet or taken in a capsule.
Put a few drops in a gelatin capsule and fill it up the rest of the way with some olive oil.
*PROGESSIVE PLUS is a wonderful essential oil blend that contains:

MAKE THE BURGERS
