Menopause in Ireland - Thanks Joe - Now Complimentary Medicine

For an entire week - which is a long time in radio - RTE's Joe Duffy has opened the radio waves to the women in Ireland. All to talk about their experience of the menopause.

This has been a watershed moment and seems like a second Mná na hÉireann highlight in Irish history. 

Women rang into RTE and spoke across the nations airwaves explaining how they thought they were going mad, how their Dr's ignored the fact of the 'perimenopause', how people had to get a divorce because of a personality change due to hormonal changes and how some women spoke of how others took an opportunity to condescend when they found out another women was on HRT as if she had failed her driving test.

A collective lived experience that has empowered more Irish women.

Women in Black 

Culturally women who went through 'the change' in Europe would traditionally wear black. This was practiced in Ireland by women who used to wear a black shawl. This is now still widely practised across the Mediterranean coast line especially in Greece. 

As people who have done my course will tell you I am always saying - information is power. The more informed a person is the better. 

The RTE radio show gave a long needed platform for discussion on this topic and gave women space to speak out and clarify misunderstandings with better information. 

Blogging for Menopause

So I have decided to write a number of blogs devoted to natural medicine  information related to menopause and how various complimentary medicines can help you during the transition. This will be in a five part series starting on this Saturday with Chinese Medicine for menopause. Evidence based. 

One amazing situation is that the Japanese don't even have a word for menopause in their language. The reason being is that the women there practically don't suffer it. The reason? Their diet which is high in fish and soy. Soy has a compound in it called isoflavone which is 1/20th the strength of oestrogen. When you consider menopause is triggered by a lessening of oestrogen over time in a woman's body you can see the benefits. 

These interesting facts and more are what I will be covering over the next few blogs as well as nutrition, aromatherapy, homeopathy and herbal medicine - all to help people with menopause. 

I have healed numerous women with menopausal symptoms with one Chinese Medicine herb.  This will all be revealed this Saturday. ​
