Menopause and Flower Remedies

By MELANIE BURGESS

The menopause, also known as the ‘change of life’, is a time of great physical and emotional change in a woman’s life. More and more conversations with friends and clients end up focused on the menopause, the vast range of symptoms that we are struggling with, from brain fog, fatigue and mood swings to hot flushes, anxiety and anger, and just how much it affects our daily lives.

Bach Flower remedies are a natural way to help support the emotional challenges of the menopause. With 38 remedies to choose from, there are countless combinations you can have to help alleviate any emotional responses that you may experience.

Which remedies can help?

Walnut – the remedy for change, a must for anyone struggling with menopause. Walnut helps to support change and to move forward into a new phase of life, breaking links to the past.

Holly can help to ease any explosive feelings of anger or frustration, or Beech if you find yourself feeling less tolerant, critical or judgemental. Scleranthus can help with fluctuating moods or if you are finding making decisions more difficult.

Clematis is the remedy for brain fog, for those of us who are living in a bit of a daydream and need some focus.

Clematis is found in Rescue Remedy, which also contains Impatiens if you are feeling more irritable or impatient, and Cherry Plum to help when you feel as though you are losing control and will provide you with calm and logical responses.

Menopause can also cause, or heighten, feelings of anxiety. Mimulus is for anxieties or known fears such as health or money worries, or Aspen is for anxieties with no known cause where you have that anxious knot in your chest but no idea why.

Overwhelming tiredness or fatigue is also a common symptom of menopause. Hornbeam is for that Monday morning feeling when you can’t find the motivation to face the day and will give you vitality and clarity, or Olive is for extreme physical exhaustion where your energy is depleted and you have nothing left in the tank. It will help you to feel revitalised and rejuvenated.

These are just a few of the remedies that can help you through the menopause. Choose the six most prominent emotions and start there, or call me for a chat and I’ll see what will help you on your menopause journey.
