Menopause is a natural part of a woman’s life, but the symptoms it brings can be difficult to deal with. Hot flashes, in particular, can be a source of discomfort and disruption. One potential solution to alleviate the symptoms of menopause is Siberian rhubarb.
Siberian rhubarb is a plant that grows in the mountainous regions of Siberia and has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments. In recent years, it has gained attention for its ability to alleviate the symptoms of menopause. The plant contains a variety of natural compounds, including phytoestrogens, which can mimic the effects of estrogen in the body. This can help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats.
One of the main benefits of Siberian rhubarb is that it is a natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT is a common treatment for menopause, but it can come with a variety of side effects and risks. Siberian rhubarb, on the other hand, is a natural and safe alternative that can help alleviate the symptoms of menopause without the same risks.
Another benefit of Siberian rhubarb is that it can help improve bone density. After menopause, women are at an increased risk of osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become weak and brittle. The phytoestrogens in Siberian rhubarb can help improve bone density, which can reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
In conclusion, Siberian rhubarb is a natural and safe alternative to hormone replacement therapy that can help alleviate the symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes and night sweats. It can also improve bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. If you are experiencing symptoms of menopause, consider giving Siberian rhubarb a try.
Winter dry air brings on itchy dry skin. One way to moisturize, (if you don’t have someone nearby to do this for you) is to slather lotion on a towel and, in the same way you dry your back in a diagonal motion with a towel, work the lotion into your skin while at the same time, exfoliating the dry skin.
Today I learned from my locker room/gym buddie, Candi, who has been helping me with gardening tips, that Marigolds make a good insect repellent. Just snap off one of the heads and rub it on your skin. I tried it and it works. You just have to apply often, but it’s better than applying poison, and it’s a good way to put those dead heads to use.
I was not having a bad hair day, I was having a bad hair week….two weeks actually! It was heavy, oily, and limp.
Most recently, on Monday mornings, I’ve been doing the aqua fitness class at the Bond Wellness Center, with a very social, chatty, happy group! What a great way to start a week! By the way, if you haven’t tried aqua fitness, its a great way to add some variety to your strength and cardio workout. When I can, I go to Patti’s class at 7 am, and Bruce’s class at 5/5:30 pm (

his morning, I met a new person in the locker room who was using this brush on her arms. She told me how effective it is for healthy skin. I thought it was ironic that she just happened to talk to me about this because unbeknownst to her, I have been very irritated this winter with dry, itchy skin on my back, my legs, and arms. I’ve tried moisturizing with Shea butter, vitamin E, including fatty acids in my diet, and with the recent spring like weather, soaking up some vitamin D. One, or all are helping a little, but not enough. Looking forward to trying this.
