Female Reproductive System: Perimenopause, Menopause & Aging

Resilience - Experience - Support

Physical, emotional and hormonal support from plants.
"The kidneys are associated with the reproductive system in Chinese medicine and very often we see this connection, which we will mention in our class. However, this subject will also be taken up on female and male reproduction and endocrine classes. The adrenals, sitting atop the kidneys, will not be described here in detail--see the endocrine class." - Matthew Wood

Manage hormonal changes and aging gracefully

Finally, we reach the conclusion of the fertile period of life, first peri-menopause and then menopause. This brings us back to the issue of balancing hormones. This is a deeply challenging time, both psychologically and physically. Then there are issues of aging: drying out of mucosa and skin.

"In the female reproductive system, the bladder, vagina, and uterus are tied together by location and influence of function. The uterus sits atop the bladder and the vagina sits next to it. Oftentimes, the health of the bladder and the health of the vagina become interconnected as they are both mucous membrane tissues. This is especially true in the area of bacterial infection of the bladder." - Phyllis D. Light
