Celebrating Menopause

While transitioning into Menopause can feel daunting and emotional evidence has shown that 70% of older women in post-menopause feel a new release on life and the “change” symptoms are simply transitory and the benefits of menopause stretch farther than we think.

Therefore, seek comfort in knowing that Menopause is a natural process, a rite of passage and our best advice is to allow your body to go through it naturally.

Women these days are energetic and zestful at fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety and beyond. We live on the average eight years longer than men and although some older women are frail, many are vital and have a postmenopausal renaissance.

That’s why we’ve developed MENO-FREE, a natural body care range including diligently selected all-vegan, wild-harvested natural ingredients combined to comfort, calm and embrace Menopause freely and comfortably.

So while you experience some hormonal and physical changes below is a list of uplifting benefits of Menopause of that from the book, Be An Outrageous Older Women by Ruth Harriet Jacobs, PhD to

It is not a disease, but rather a natural process, a rite of passage.
You are not alone. It happens to all women everywhere.
Sexual desire and satisfaction can increase with your new freedom
No more bother with or expense for pads, tampons, birth control, and cleaning products
No unwanted pregnancies
PMS (Premenstrual syndrome) becomes PMZ (Post-menstrual zest)
No menstrual cramps
No non-lovemaking days
“Change” symptoms are transitory. They won’t last forever
Sexual desire and satisfaction can increase with your new freedom
Body energy is a redirection from production
Research has shown that there is no association among menopause, depression despite old wives tale. You may have life stresses associated with ageing and life events but this is not linked directly to the transition into menopause
You retain your sense of humour and that is a big help.

MENOPAUSE

A poem

Thirty experiences

year after year

sisterhood of blood

accustomed rhythms

reassuring flow

inconvenient flow

disappointing flow

I will not be

Like these old women

I try not to see

Fifty inquires

When blood ceases

What else will leave

When blood dries

What else will dry

Will the hot flashes

Burn away desire

Will he leave me

Will O lose me

What will old age be?

Seventy responds

We are not bloodless

We have new rhythms

Our life force flows

Love does not cease

Desire does not dry

Hot flashes of wit

Prove we are not lost

We birth crone’s wisdom

See us hear our glee.
