Aromatherapy

There are many other natural method which can help you manage the symptoms of menopause in a better way.

Aromatherapy for one, which uses the technique of massage with essential oils, helps to relieve menopausal symptoms.
During the massage, the aromas are perceived by the nerve endings in the nose, and signals are passed to the limbic system in the brain.
An important part of the limbic system governs the pituitary gland, which controls hormone release throughout the body.
Additionally, the small molecules of essential oils are absorbed through the skin. They then dissolve in the natural body fats and fluids. This allows them to flow around the body, to relax or stimulate, detoxify and regenerate.
