***Use non-toxic methods to alleviate any uncomfortable sensations you might experience with menopause. While some women may temporarily encounter power surges (hot flashes), poor quality sleep, moodiness, memory concerns and vaginal dryness, many do not. Be aware that every woman experiences menopause differently.
***Expect freedom, creativity, joy, peace and wisdom! Many women have wonderfully positive menopausal experiences. Sounds like it calls for a Celebration to me!
***Practice good nutrition. In the realm of menopause it is suggested that one consider foods that contain phytoestrogens such as celery, fennel, parsley, soy, nuts, whole grains, apples, and alfalfa. And drink lots of water!

Cranberry-Water drink
This is excellent for preventing bladder infections which are much more common during menopause.
Mix 28 ounces of good quality water with 4 ounces of undiluted cranberry juice for a total of 32 ounces. (Make sure you use undiluted cranberry juice and not the Ocean Spray sweetened juice. You can get it at Trader Joe’s or your local health food store.)
Drink throughout the day. It’s OK if you want to drink twice this much in a day!
