Pursuing Postmenopausal Zest
Postmenopausal zest is a phrase coined by anthropologist
Margaret Mead. It is a time when we are not concerned with birth
control, PMS, painful cramps or other monthly inconveniences.
"This", she says, "is freedom." It is a stage of life that is
free of many encumbrances and full of wonderful possibilities.
We are still young enough to live life to its fullest and enjoy
all the good things nature has provided us. During this period a
lot of women experience a renewed zest for life, rejuvenated
sexual desire, and look for exhilarating new adventures or new
beginnings. It is like starting life all over with a better set
of rules. If you haven't done it before, it is time to take
charge of your own health.
Create your zest by paying attention to diet (Oriental women
don't have a word for hotflash), learn how to use herbs and
natural hormones for hormonal balancing, and essential oils for
optimum psychological health and libido. There are many such
aids from which to choose. You'll probably need to experiment a
little to find the ones that are most effective for you.
Pregnenolone is one of the newest hormones to become available
and is one of the most versatile. The body easily converts
pregnenolone into DHEA, progesterone, and even estrogen and
testosterone. The hormone conversion happens on an as-needed
basis, and therefore, not likely to cause side effects. Also,
helpful are creams and tinctures that contain wild yam, clary
sage, black cohosh, blue cohosh, and fennel.
Taking new adventures into the bedroom can be as easy as
stocking up on sensual massage oils and therapeutic quality
erotic essential oils. Mutual massages with the right blend of
aromatic oils can ignite your love life. Get prepared for a
romantic evening by taking a geranium and clary sage bath as
these two oils are "hormone regulators" and can work on a mental
level to harmonize emotions. Oils that can have a positive
effect on sex hormones are good because they can relieve stress.
Ylang ylang, rose, black pepper, and ginger are considered
aphrodisiacs. Recent research shows that sex can improve your
health, strengthen your immune system, and prevent the onset of
disease. When sex is enhanced by therapeutic aromatherapy can
zest be far behind? Get a FREE Essential Oil Users Guide at:
