Reflexology for Menopause

Menopause is a time when fundamental physiological shifts happen for a woman, these are accompanied by a range of physical and emotional symptoms. Sometimes we fear changes to our lives because we don't know how to control them and often this is out of our hands. If however, we focus on what we can control we can lead happier, and healthier lives. If we choose what we put into our body, on our body, how we use our body and what we put into our mind we can retain more of a handle on how we will lead the rest of our lives.

 

Many women experience symptoms of the menopause and irregular periods for several years up to the menopause itself. As the normal function of the ovaries decline we enter the climacteric, or 'perimenopause' phase. One of the common problems of the climacteric is that our periods can be erratic in their amount and spacing and this happens up until our periods stop.
