🌿 Perimenopause: Understanding the Transition & Supporting Yourself Naturally 🌿
Perimenopause is a natural — but often challenging — stage as the body shifts toward menopause. Many women experience symptoms such as hot flushes, disrupted sleep, mood changes, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and irregular cycles.
The positive news?
There are many gentle, supportive self-care practices that can help you feel more balanced physically and emotionally during this transitional stage.
🌸 Simple Self-Care Tips for Perimenopause
✨ Prioritise Restful Sleep
A calming evening routine — herbal tea, gentle stretching, reading — helps regulate hormones and supports mood.
✨ Nourish With Warm, Cooked Foods
Soups, stews, porridges, and grounding meals support digestion, reduce internal heat, and stabilise energy.
✨ Move Gently & Regularly
Walking, yoga, Pilates, tai chi, or qigong help reduce stress and improve circulation without exhausting the body.
✨ Soothe the Nervous System
Breathing exercises, meditation, journaling, or quiet time offer emotional grounding and reduce overwhelm.
✨ Connect With Support
Talking with other women or getting professional guidance can make a meaningful difference.
