Just for Women, and Men who Love Them

Women's fluctuating and playful hormones often create physical and emotional challenges in our lives. From the time we were about eight years old until, well, we are no longer on this earth, we notice emotional swings, with various levels of enjoyment.

While we are most aware of our monthy cycles, changing like the moon, we also have life cycles, moving into and out of various phases of our journey. Each phase bringing its own challenges and adventure as we discover a new sense of being while letting go of an earlier one.

Today I thought I would share two of my very favorite practical tips for the unique life cycles of women.

First, one of my most cherished books on the woman's journey, Joan Borysenko's, The Woman's Book of Life, the Biology, Psychology, and Spirituality of the Feminine Life Cycle.

Joan is one of my favorite writers, and in this book she takes us on the journey of women, from the time we are girls until old age. "She teaches women how to align with the physical changes that occur at every stage of life in order to maximize health and well-being."

I find the book a refreshing look at the true beauty of women and the gifts we have to share at each phase of our lives. It is empowering, thought provoking, inspiring, and uplifting.

My second tip is one of the best ways to manage those hormonal fluctuations... (not that anyone actually needs this).

Most days I have a cup or two of Dong Quai Tonic organic tea from Yogi Tea. This tea is a combination of various herbs, (ginger root, cinnamon bark, ginger root, Dong Quai root, among many others), specifically gathered for women's health concerns. In addition it has several liver cleansing herbs, (dandelion root, juniper berry and nettle), that help eliminate impurities, and excesses, while detoxifying the body.

While many women struggle with various forms of medications, hormone replacement therapy, and other medical interventions, herbs often work with the body by creating balance, restoring the body to its optimal level of harmony and health.

When we find that sense of balance, we are best able to manage the many adventures that come!
