We’ve had a very wet autumn this year. I’m not complaining about that, we need the water, but we didn’t have an Indian summer this year! Since I moved to the south of France over 10 years ago, I think this is the first year we didn’t have an Indian summer! I miss those warm autumn evenings!
This month we are going to start exploring a subject that has been taboo for too long. It seems to be emerging from the undergrowth here in France as well as in other countries since a few years now, thankfully.
I’m speaking about menopause. The symptoms of menopause start around the age of 35 already, and one of the last things that happens is when menstruation stops completely. Symptoms range anywhere from hot flashes to night sweats to mood swings to weight gain to sleep disturbances to sleeplessness to fatigue to thinning hair to memory problems to dry skin to joint pain to foot pain to headaches and so much more! Many women seeking medical help with these symptoms are all to often told they are imagining things, and so they don’t get taken seriously. Too few studies have been done about women’s health in general, and very little about menopause.
Several of our essence producers have essences mixes ready to use for women experiencing any of the symptoms related to menopause.
South African Menopause Essence, She Changes from Green Hope Farm, Confort Féminin 50+ and Maturité from Deva, Woman Essence (exists in drops, cream, mist and roll-on) from Australian Bush Flower Essences are a few that come to mind. In addition to these, the Transformation Energy Spray from Wild Earth Animal Essences can be very helpful.
Single essences that can help include Ladies Mantle (Alaskan Essences), Snake (Wild Earth), Pomegranate, Tiger Lily and Senecio (South African), Sturt Desert Pea, She Oak, Bottlebrush and Waratah (Australian Bush) and Strawberry (Spirit-in-Nature).
Fleurs de Vie can also create bespoke essence mixes specific to what you are going through. Please contact us by email or by phone if you would like to discuss how this could help you.

These essences were created in 1977 by Lila Devi based on the psycho-emotional descriptions of different fruits and vegetables of Paramhansa Yogananda, a yogi master. These 20 essences are prepared from flowers taken from vegetable patches and orchards situated in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and on the Island of Kauai. According to Lila, flower essences help us find balance, harmony and inner well-being so that we can become the masters of our life. They are available in 15ml dropper bottles, stock strength.
