For many women, menopause marks a time of profound transformation—physically, emotionally, and mentally. As the body adjusts to a new hormonal landscape, it’s common to experience a variety of symptoms that can be both frustrating and uncomfortable. From hot flushes and joint stiffness to disrupted sleep and mood swings, these changes can deeply affect quality of life. Yet despite its universal nature, support for menopause remains inadequate in many mainstream beauty and wellness spaces.
We believe that women deserve effective, natural support through every life stage. That’s why we created the Menopausal Balm, a grounding, hormone-supportive balm designed to soothe the body and restore a sense of balance. Using a blend of time-honoured botanicals and powerful minerals like magnesium oil, this balm offers targeted relief for some of the most common symptoms experienced during perimenopause and menopause.
In this blog, we explore the key benefits of using a topical balm during menopause, why magnesium oil is central to our recipe, and how to incorporate this natural solution into your daily self-care routine.
Understanding Menopause: A Natural Life Shift
Menopause is defined as the point when a woman has gone twelve months without a menstrual cycle. However, the transition leading up to this phase called perimenopause can begin several years earlier. During this time, oestrogen and progesterone levels decline gradually, which can impact nearly every system in the body.
Some of the most common symptoms include:
-
Hot flushes and night sweats
-
Difficulty sleeping
-
Mood swings or irritability
-
Aches and pains in the joints
-
Fatigue or low energy
-
Brain fog or forgetfulness
-
Changes in skin and hair texture
While some women sail through this transition with few symptoms, many experience disruptions that can make everyday life more difficult. Conventional options often include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which may not be suitable or desirable for everyone.
Why Topical Relief Matters
The skin is the largest organ of the body and an incredibly effective delivery channel for natural remedies. When applied topically, active ingredients can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream or surrounding tissues offering fast, targeted relief without having to pass through the digestive system.
This method is especially useful for symptoms like joint pain, tension, or restless sleep, where a balm can be massaged directly into affected areas. For menopausal care, topical application allows women to reconnect with their bodies while supporting them in a tangible, nurturing way.
The Role of Magnesium Oil in Menopausal Support
Magnesium is often referred to as the “miracle mineral,” and for good reason. It plays a key role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including muscle function, nerve health, and hormone regulation. Unfortunately, magnesium deficiency is common especially among women during menopause.
Why magnesium oil? Unlike oral magnesium supplements, which can be difficult to absorb or cause digestive upset, magnesium oil is applied directly to the skin. This allows for better uptake and quicker relief. Our balm includes this essential mineral in a gentle, skin-loving base that can be used daily.
Benefits of magnesium oil for menopause:
-
Reduces muscle cramps and joint aches: Menopause often brings physical discomfort. Magnesium oil helps relax tight muscles and ease inflammation in joints.
-
Supports deeper sleep: One of the most valued uses of magnesium oil is its ability to calm the nervous system and encourage more restful sleep—a common challenge during menopause.
-
Balances mood and reduces anxiety: Magnesium supports neurotransmitters like GABA, which are essential for mental well-being and emotional regulation.
-
Boosts energy and reduces fatigue: As hormone levels shift, many women feel depleted. Magnesium helps restore vitality by supporting energy production at the cellular level.
Botanical Allies for Hormonal Harmony
While magnesium oil is a key ingredient, our balm also includes supportive botanicals like wild yam and chasteberry both of which have long histories of use in traditional women’s health practices. These herbs help regulate the hormonal ecosystem and offer gentle, cumulative support over time.
Together with magnesium oil, these ingredients create a recipe that supports the body holistically relieving surface symptoms while nourishing the systems beneath.
How to Use the Menopausal Balm
Using the balm is simple, intuitive, and calming a small daily routine that can make a big impact over time.
Recommended uses:
-
Before bed: Massage a small amount onto the soles of the feet, neck, or lower back to encourage restful sleep and reduce overnight hot flushes.
-
Morning application: Apply to the abdomen or inner wrists to support hormonal regulation throughout the day.
-
Joint care: Rub into knees, shoulders, or hands to relieve stiffness and support mobility.
-
Mood support: Use as a moment of grounding self-care during moments of overwhelm or anxiety.
