Shhh... Sleep Sound The Benefits of Using our Transdermal Magnesium H20 Sleep Spray in Menopause
One of the most common questions I am regularly asked is if I have developed any formulations that can help to improve sleep.
As a woman in menopause, chances are you know just how difficult it can be to get a good restorative night of rest. Thankfully, mother nature provides many beautiful botanicals that can alleviate symptoms and after trying and perfecting many different recipes over the years I've combined these natural ingredients in an easy and effective way to help you get the rest you need.
Blending the power of essential oils with the restorative power of magnesium we now have a truly effective and simple to use topical magnesium aid in the form of our Shhh... SLEEP SOUND H20 - a transdermal magnesium sleep spray. This sleep spray contains the key minerals and vitamins needed to help promote restful, restorative sleep during menopause.
Since there are many types of sleep and pillow sprays that are available I thought I shoule explore with you the benefits of using our sleep spray in menopause, so you can finally get the deep, restful sleep you need.
WHY I FORMULATED A SLEEP SPRAY
I developed our SLEEP SOUND MAGNESIUM H20 sleep spray specifically to help with typical menopause symptoms affecting sleep.
we know that magnesium plays a vital role in over 300 metablic processes within the body and that since it is involved also in the management of stress it becomes increasingly depleted during the menopausal years when our female bodies are undergoing high levels of physical, emotional and psychological stress due to the hormonal changes taking place internally.
This slow and continuous reduction in magnesium can adversely affect the body's wind down processes - impacting sleep quality but also disrupting the body's signalling mechanimss in the wake state - which in turn affects our stress levels and before you know it - it's become a dangerous vicious circle aggravating your menopausal symptoms and affecting your overall health.
A regular dose of magnesium can help to combat this decline, massively improving wellness and specifically targeting common menopause conditions that can encroach on restful sleep such as of hot flashes which occur at night also known as night sweats, restless leg syndrome and anxiety — all of which can contribute to insomnia and spill over into fatigue during the day.
HOW MAGNESIUM HELPS
Applying magnesium before going to bed can help improve sleep quality by relaxing the muscles, promoting calmness, as magnesium has a soothing effect on the nervous system, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and restlessness that may disrupt sleep.
Magnesium also plays a role in regulating the release of hormones, including the production of melatonin, which is responsible for regulating sleep and so by helping regulate melatonin levels, magnesium can improve the body's ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.
I formulate with magnesium chloride as it is particularly well absorbed by the body and is well tolerated when applied to the skin - this is known as 'topical' magnsium or 'trandedermal magnesm' and rather than being absorbed through the body in the form of pills, absorption through the skin bypasses the digestive system and gets to work rapidly in the bloodstream to deliver fast results trigerring its relaxing effect on the body and promoting sleep onset without the side effects of gastric or laxative issues that can arise with other forms of magnesium.
WE SUPERCHARGE THIS FORMULA
In order to maximise the relaxing effects of magnesium I also fine-tuned our sleep blend with a mix of really potent and gentle botanicals to ensure the body is nurtured into a sustained phased of restorative rest through the night
This unique blend includes the healing poiwer of moringa
Other symptoms a woman may experience include sleep disturbance, anxiety, hot flushes, lower sex drive, fatigue, vaginal dryness, urine leakage when coughing or sneezing.
The body starts producing less ovarian follicles (small sacs filled with fluid that are found inside the ovaries. They secrete hormones which influence the stages of the menstrual cycle. Each has the potential to release an egg for fertilization).
. After a while of this low estrogen phase, your periods will eventually stop completely. When you haven't had a period in the last 12 months, menopause has begun. However, you are still in the perimenopause stage if you continue to have irregular periods or encounter the odd spotting.
It is important to note that for some women, perimenopause may occur earlier, particularly if:
- A genetic predisposition to early menopause exists (where possible, find out from mothers and/or aunts when their menopause occurred).
- You smoke
- You have undergone chemotherapy
- Uterus or ovaries have been surgically removed.
Perimenopause is simply a normal biological phase associated with aging.
There is no need for concern because it is not a disease. On the other hand, some women may endure unsettling perimenopause symptoms however the reassuring realty is that these can usually be managed with a balanced combination of natural remedies, a nutritious diet, consistent exercise, and alternative treatments.
You still get periods during perimenopause even though your ovaries are generating less estrogen the difference is that they cycle will be more irregular. It is also still possible to get pregnant during perimenopause.
Your cycle persists until the ovaries start producing very little estrogen. The first stage of decline occurs as low estrogen prevents the ovaries from stimulating the production of an egg, which is supposed to occur every period cycle. Progesterone production is heightened by the release of an egg, so this is what initially stops.
