Menopause Support Kit - Saskia's Flower Essences

Menopause and Peri-menopause can be a difficult time for many. Not only do we have to deal with lots of physical shifts but with our decreasing hormone levels lots of emotional changes occur too….. and with that, our awareness of the world around us and our relationships change. Flower Essences are ideal tools to have by your side to help you cope and assimilate these changes.

So we’ve put this survival kit together to help with some of the more common ‘symptoms’ that women experience during this time.

This box contains:

30ml Calm and Confident essence blend to help with the increase in anxiety that many women experience. This is great for going into situations where you are feeling anxious and unsure and can be taken regularly to reduce panic and feeling of overwhelm.

Walnut - protection during change
Buttercup - self confidence
Wild Garlic - universal support
Rock Rose - fear and panic

Our range of ready made flower essence blends help support you on your journey in today’s complex and ever changing world. They are tried and tested mixes of our single flower essences that have proved beneficial to many over the years and are in 30ml tamper proof bottles.

If you want to take more than one blend in the same day we suggest you leave at least 4 hours between each one.

Using Essences:

• Our essences can be used straight from the bottle. Just place a few drops directly under your tongue morning and night or as your intuition tells you.
• For help changing long standing behaviour patterns they can be taken twice daily (or more often if this feels right) for several weeks.
• They are completely safe to give to children from birth upwards and work just as well diluted into water or a cold drink.
• For treating your pet, put a few drops in your animal’s drinking water or put approximately 10 drops, with water, in a mister bottle to spray around your animal.
• Adding a dropperful to your bath or mixing them into your face cream is also a very effective way of absorbing essences although of course they don’t smell.
• Essences are completely safe to use while taking other medicines, homeopathy, during pregnancy or while breast feeding as they contain no material matter - just the energy of the plant.

About Saskia's Flower Essences:
I have been working with flowers at different levels for my whole life. As a professional gardener for more than 30 years, and florist to HRH Prince of Wales for many years. I started making flower essences in 2003 with my friend and business partner for a long time, Christine Felce, after we discovered how incredibly effective and simple they are to make and desperately needed them for ourselves and our families.

I am continually fascinated by how plants and humans interact and the wisdom they have to share with us. My deep love, friendship and knowledge of the flowers has continued to grow as I discover just how powerfully their energy affects and interacts with us.
