HOW TO: HOME SPA TREATMENTS TO HELP SURVIVE THE MENOPAUSE
The Menopause: Let's Open The Dialogue.
1 Million*. That is the number of women in the US alone that are currently going through Menopause. Brushed aside, or mentioned in an awkward stage whisper ('The Change' - as if it were a Stephen King adaptation), we believe it's time to start talking - and most importantly, understanding - more about Menopause.
With International Women's Day (8th March) and Mother's Day (11th March) just around the corner, we're celebrating ALL women. With our Partner Spas, we've launched a collection of spa treatments for Menopause, Periods, and Pregnancy in celebration of the female form. Here, we're going to share with you here how you can mimic the spa pamper in the privacy of your own home to help survive menopause.
MENTAL WELL-BEING DURING MENOPAUSE - HOME SPA TREATMENTS.
The NIH reports that the symptoms linked to menopause typically last around 4 years - however, 10% of women will experience symptoms for up to 10 years after their last period - a heavy sentence! It's essential to look after physical and mental well-being even more so during this time. With 'mood changes' at the top of the list, along with hot flushes, trouble sleeping, and anxiety, it's important to try and get a grasp on managing hormone fluctuations. Here are a few top tips to help with mental well-being during menopause, and how to soothe the mind & body at home.
Create a calm environment. Simple and effective - try some deep breathing. Start with a few drops of an organic lavender essential oil in a bowl of steaming water to calm and help balance hormones. Take long, slow deep breaths in through the nose: filling the lower lungs, then the upper lungs. Hold your breath, count to three. Exhale slowly, relaxing muscles in the face, jaw, shoulders, and stomach.
Fight sluggish feelings. Stimulate and invigorate with a cooling body wash. Try the Lavender and Peppermint Body Wash. A natural wash to help cleans, and a blast of Peppermint will cool skin to help cope with hot flushes.
Atmosphere Mists. An aromatherapeutic approach to purifying and uplifting your environment. Our Atmosphere Mists are designed to cleanse the air and surfaces while imparting beneficial states of mind.
Cool hot flashes. Inescapable and highly inconvenient! Hard to get rid of, but slightly easier to remedy. Stick your bottle of Mermaid Cooling Mist in the fridge for 20 minutes, and mist all over your cleansed skin. This will deeply hydrate and also intensely cool the skin. A spa favorite - it beats a soggy threadbare flannel and will leave skin plumped and radiant, too. Bonus!
