HOW TO OVERCOME  MENOPAUSEAL  PROBLEMS BY AROMATHERAPY

     What is menopause?

•     Menopause simply means cessation or stoppage of menses but menses can also stop during pregnancy. This state occurs generally when a woman reaches 45- 50 years of age, through this is only an indication but not a rule, as some women do not have menopause even during this period, while others reach menopause earlier also. So every woman is a law unto herself. It is said that a woman menstruates about 30- 35 years, from the year of her first menses, but this has also many exceptions, as there are no hard and fast duration related limitations. Apart from excessive bleeding or even no bleeding, some women undergo the identical problems that are commonly faced by majority of them when menses start.

•  Other symptoms include depression, irritability, vaginal dryness, insomnia, lethargy, anxiety, and hot flushes etc., a sense of actual or presumed loss or up heaved growth and care of children and their careers, and other emotional upsets.

     Aromatherapy:

• Rose oil and Geranium oil are said to affect female hormones, apart from regulating periods.

• Jasmine oil   and Neroli oil are used for emotional upsets, depression during this period.

Use these oils either in bath or dilute 10% oil in carrier / base oil which may be massaged into the skin. Try to use one oil at a type for a specific complaint only, but do not overlook sensitivity factor.
