Understanding the transition, the symptoms, and how aromatherapy can help.
You're probably wondering why a candle maker is talking about this topic, instead of candles!! Well, this topic affects me personally and through research I have found solace. For too long, menopause and perimenopause have been treated like taboo topics. But the reality is, millions of women go through these transitions—often in silence. Today, that changes. In this blog, we’ll explore what these phases are, how they affect us, and how simple rituals like aromatherapy can bring comfort, peace, and presence.
What Is Perimenopause?
Starts as early as your mid-30s
Caused by a gradual decline in estrogen
Lasts several months to years before menopause
Common Symptoms:
✅ Irregular periods
✅ Hot flashes/night sweats
✅ Mood swings & anxiety
✅ Sleep disruption
✅ Brain fog
✅ Vaginal dryness
✅ Fatigue
What Is Menopause?
Menopause is officially the moment you’ve gone 12 months without a period. While it’s a natural milestone, it can come with challenges—especially when symptoms begin during perimenopause and continue after.
The Taboo Is Ending
Finally, the silence is being broken. More women, brands, and doctors are speaking up. We’re realizing menopause isn’t just about physical symptoms—it’s about identity, self-care, and support. I recently spoke with my mom about Menopause, asking her what age she went through it. She recalled it happening in her early 50's. I also asked her about Perimenopause, and she couldn't exactly pinpoint when that started because it wasn't talked about. I'm reading "Grown Woman Talk" by Sharon Malone, M.D, I highly recommend this to everyone!!
"I wish someone had told me it would feel like this." – A sentiment shared by thousands of women.
"I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we were taught to respect fear more than ourselves. we've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't." -Audre Lorde
