When the menopause comes, and the hot flashes become unbearable, what can one do to alleviate the symptoms? I had forgotten all about Walnut.. How could I? I tried all sorts of things, natural herbs, Peruvian roots, Chinese herbs, and still I saw very little or no improvement at all.
Then the light came. As I was translating the booklet of the Bach Flowers for my sister who does not speak English, Walnut said “the remedy for transition, teething, puberty and menopause.” How could I forget the Bach Flowers?
So I made the usual remedy bottle, and a week later, I felt something was missing. The hot flashes! Oh my, the remedy worked so well that I did not even realized that the hot flashes,which had been bothering me day and night for the last six months had not been there at all! Wow! It has been almost two weeks now, and it is still going rather well, I must say. And I can’t believe I went through six months of hell for nothing!
Walnut is the remedy for transition times. For teething, puberty and menopause. It is a remedy that helps break the links and ties with what was before so that we can move unhampered into the new cycle, whatever that might be.
When we move home, when we change school, when we get married, when we split up from someone, when we start a new job, when we change from one thing to another and we find it difficult and stressful.
It is a remedy that assist us in any life transition and makes the passage from the old to the new smoothly and effortlessly. The link breaker.
And so I have yet again, redidiscovered the wonderful power of the Bach Flowers!
Now, for all those men who have a little giggle at the word ‘menopause’, it’s worth pointing out that this time of life strikes them too, just that nobody has told them and so they don’t really know about it. I have heard men complaining of feeling ‘unbearably hot’ all of a sudden, and breaking out in a sweat.
Well if you are past fortyish, chances are you are going through your changes to! The hormonal imbalance called menopause does not favor women only, I am afraid.
So blessed be the Walnut tree and the wonderful remedy that has been so amazing in helping my hot flashes and blessed it be, for those men who are willing to take it too, and for all those other times that we could do with a little hand with our stresses and bothers…
