Appropriately described as the ‘change of life’, menopause is a time of major physiological and emotional changes in a woman’s life. Several Bach Flower Remedies can help you find your way through this rollercoaster of emotions. Walnut is especially helpful in smoothing out the emotional ups and downs caused by the hormonal changes taking place.

Because some of the physiological changes that take place during the menopause are associated with ageing, women sometimes see it as signalling the end of their useful lives. They feel shock at the changes and have a sudden feeling of despair that life is passing them by.  Bach Flower Remedy Star of Bethlehem helps to comfort and reassure a woman when she is grieving for the loss of her previous lifestyle.

The busy activity of previous years, full of work commitments, motherhood and making a home, has come to an end.  When a woman looks to the future and all she sees is emptiness with no hope that life has anything else to offer her, then several Bach Remedies can help to restore her hope and faith in life.

Other Bach Flower Remedies gently calm the uncontrollable weeping, irritability and lack of confidence that some women experience during the menopause.  For some of you, depressive feelings may suddenly descend out of the blue and Mustard may be the Bach Remedy to gently raise your mood.

Trying to manage all these emotional ups and downs may make you feel overwhelmed, unable to cope and exhausted. Elm is one of several Bach Remedies that can gently restore your confidence in your ability to manage and help you to feel in control again.

There are 38 Bach Flower Remedies altogether. The Remedies mentioned here are just a few that can help you find your way through the menopause. Dr Bach was keen to point out that we all react to the same stressful situation in different ways emotionally.

He believed that each client needs a blend of Bach Flower Remedies personalised to their particular emotional state. One client who feels overwhelmed by menopausal symptoms may need Elm, but another client may need a different Bach Remedy.

If you come to see me for a Consultation I will not offer you a standard Remedy blend,  instead we will spend time discussing your emotional state and find the Flower Remedies appropriate for you.
