As a woman who has experienced firsthand the challenges of hormone imbalances I know how disruptive hormones can be. But through my journey with holistic therapies, I’ve seen how powerful they can be in supporting hormonal balance.
Hormones and Holistic Healing
Hormones like estrogen and progesterone can affect everything from mood to skin health and energy levels. During peri or menopause, when these hormones fluctuate, symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings can intensify. Massage therapy, reflexology, and aromatherapy can all offer relief. Research shows that regular massage therapy can help reduce the intensity of hot flushes and night sweats by up to 50%(Newcastle University). By working with the body’s natural rhythms, holistic treatments can support a smoother transition through menopause.
Aromatherapy for Hormonal Balance
Essential oils are a wonderful ally during this time. Clary sage, known for its estrogen-like properties, has been shown to reduce hot flushes by nearly 36%(Newcastle University). Lavender and geranium can also help to alleviate mood swings, balancing the emotional ups and downs of peri-menopause.
Each treatment I provide includes aromatherapy blends tailored to your unique needs, my goal is always to get you into a restfull state so your body can repair and encourage balance and harmony within the body.
Reflexology for Menopause Symptoms
Reflexology can help regulate the body’s hormonal system by targeting specific pressure points on the feet. A study from the University of Ulster found that reflexology significantly reduced symptoms like hot flushes, anxiety, and depression in menopausal women. This non-invasive, calming treatment provides deep relaxation and aids in managing the mental and physical challenges of menopause.
