Menopause Care Box (M): Hormonal Balance, Confidence and Self-Love

Bath Soak: Do not allow children to use this bath soak, as bergamot oil in large amounts is unsafe for children.

Epsom salt, rose and bergamot essential oil and lavender and chamomile flowers.

Rose:

Inhaling the scent of rose oil may reduce stress and anxiety, and increase feelings of wellbeing. Rose oil may help reduce hot flashes by balancing hormones, and may help maintain moisture levels in skin, which can be dry during menopause. In a 2017 study, rose oil was shown to increase oestrogen in peri-menopausal women, resulting in a reduction of irritability, depression, and anxiety.

Bergamot: 

Inhaling bergamot oil can trigger the release of dopamine and serotonin, which help regulate mood, and can be used to improve circulation and increase low libido.

Lavender:

Lavender is very calming and is known to be anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and a muscle relaxant. This makes it a perfect addition to a calming bath. It is a wonderfully calming herb associated with sleep and bravery.

Chamomile:

Chamomile is known to be very grounding and soothing. Some spiritual correspondences include: joy, positivity, happiness, peace, healing, calm, sleep aid, protection and luck.

Green Tea:

Green tea may help with menopause as it contains healthy antioxidants that can relieve inflammation and reduce stress. There is also some evidence to suggest that green tea may help with hot flashes.

Raspberry Leaf Tea:

Red raspberry leaf helps tone the uterus and helps with excessive bleeding and may also help with insomnia and hot flashes. It is hormone balancing because of the high amounts of vitamins and minerals most associated with hormone balance; including magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium, Vitamin B, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.

*Please note* Crystals work by transferring energy when meditating. Hold them in your hand and feel their soothing energy. Never insert crystals anywhere inside your body. 

Amethyst Crystal:

Amethyst is a beautiful stone that can encourage emotional balance, providing a sense of peace and stability during the menopause. It is also known to enhance memory and clear brain fog, a common symptom of menopause. 

Moonstone Crystal:

Moonstone is said to help menopause by balancing hormonal fluctuations and easing emotional stress and anxiety. Peach Moonstone may help to alleviate physical symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats.

Unakite:

Unakite is very a grounding stone and has a calming influence. The stone promotes feminine energy, balance and harmony, and is often used to support uterine / reproductive health issues.
