Good news, the one off prescription charge for HRT will be in place from 1st April so women in England can access HRT every month without having to pay every time.

This is a great step forward and thanks to everyone who has campaigned and signed the Menopause Mandate petition to make this happen.

It is 'World Menopause Day' and today is a worldwide awareness call for women who face health issues when approaching, during and beyond the menopause.

Every woman will go through the menopause. Some women sail through it, other women have mild to moderate symptoms, and some women have their lives completely changed by it as their symptoms are so severe it prevents them going about their normal routines on a daily basis....

For the fact that EVERY women goes through the Menopause, it still astounds me how little we are prepared for it, what little help or support there is, and how many women get fobbed off when they go and seek medical help and support. Even though more recently, changes are happening within the medical profession and in the workplace, but more still needs to be done!

🦴 Did you know that women can lose up to 20% of their bone density of the first 5-7 years after menopause.

🙅🏼‍♀️ Did you know 25% of women consider leaving their job due to menopause

💊 Did you know that nearly 40% of menopausal women are being prescribed antidepressants to help manage their symptoms instead of being offered medication or support directly linked to menopause

I only know too well how life changing the menopause can be as it totally threw my life and my families life upside down
BUT...help is at hand ladies🔥

The fact that you are reading this post and belong to my FaceBook page means that you may have menopausal symptoms and that you are trying to seek help or clarification on your symptoms.

Congratulation...YOU have made the first step🙌

But please, if you have friends or family members that you know may benefit from joining our tribe of MenoSisters, please pass our details on.

Let's empower the women of today and help them take control of their menopause, instead of their menopause taking control of them 💜🧡

CVB Balanced Health is really excited to announce that we have
now included 'Romans Handcrafted Luxury Fragrances' in our Health and Wellbeing Business and this is how it can help support women's health.

We know that to achieve physical well-being, you also need to achieve a sense of positive mental health and tapping into our five senses, sight, sound, smell, taste and touch plays such an important part in gaining a sense of wellness around oneself. We speak a lot about making time for 'YOU' and this is even more important when tackling health issues, such as menopausal symptoms.

Recently we have done a lot of work in trialling different products and techniques, especially surrounding the sense of smell. One that has helped women achieve a sense of wellness and relaxation, is using fragrances around the home. Once you read the 'Romans' story on our group page, you will know why we had to include them in our range.

Please comment on this post for a copy of my brochure sent to your inbox and to be invited to my group to see offers and more information. 🧡🖤🤍
