48 Menopausal Signs & the Natural Solution: Sea Buckthorn
Menopause marks a pivotal transition in a woman's life, characterized by the end of menstrual cycles and accompanied by a variety of symptoms that can impact her health and well-being. Among the natural remedies available, sea buckthorn oil, rich in omega 3, 6, 7, and 9 fatty acids, offers compelling benefits for managing many of these symptoms. Here, we delve deeper into how sea buckthorn oil can help alleviate some of the 48 signs of menopause, including newly added insights into its effects on wrinkles.
Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness during menopause can cause significant discomfort and pain, especially during intercourse. Sea buckthorn oil enhances the integrity of the vaginal lining by 50%, increases hydration and elasticity by 33%, and offers symptom relief that doubles the effectiveness compared to a placebo. Importantly, it achieves these results without altering vaginal pH, ensuring non-hormonal, natural relief.
Skin Health
The hormonal changes during menopause can lead to various skin issues, which sea buckthorn oil addresses effectively:
Dry Skin: Boosts skin hydration by 49%, alleviating dryness and promoting a healthier skin barrier.
Acne: The anti-inflammatory properties of omega fatty acids help reduce the inflammation associated with acne.
Altered Skin and Changes in Skin Texture: Improves skin elasticity by 26%, helping to mitigate the effects of aging and hormonal changes on skin texture.
Itchy Crawly Skin: Soothes skin, reducing the sensation of itchiness.
Wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of wrinkles by 14%, supporting overall skin beauty and reducing signs of aging through enhanced hydration and improved skin elasticity.
Thinning Hair
Thinning hair is a common concern during menopause, as hormonal changes can impact hair follicles. Omega fatty acids and antioxidants in sea buckthorn oil:
Improve hair texture and fullness, with 90% of study participants reporting reduced hair ls.
Over 78% noted improvements in hair thickness, density, volume, shininess, and softness.
Promote more hair to remain in the active-growth phase, enhancing overall hair health and reducing hair loss.
Nail Changes
Brittle and flaking nails during menopause can be nourished and strengthened through the rich omega fatty acid content in sea buckthorn oil, combating brittleness and promoting healthier nail growth.
Dry Eyes and Dry Mouth
Omega-7 in sea buckthorn oil effectively manages these symptoms:
Dry Eyes: Enhances hydration in the eye's mucous membranes, reducing dryness and discomfort.
Dry Mouth: Improves moisture production in the mouth, alleviating dryness that can lead to difficulties in swallowing and speaking.
Joint Pain
Increased joint pain and stiffness often accompany menopause. Sea buckthorn oil: Reduces key inflammatory markers, decreasing c-reactive protein by 44% and TNF-alpha by 26%, thus alleviating joint pain and improving mobility.
Weight Gain
Managing weight becomes more challenging during menopause. Omega-7 in sea buckthorn oil aids this process by:
Acting as a lipokine to enhance coordination between body fat and muscle tissue. Stimulating insulin action in muscles to aid glucose metabolism.
Inhibiting lipid production and accumulation by downregulating genes involved in fat synthesis, aiding in weight management.
Improving Mood Swings and Mental Health
Mood swings and depression can be prevalent during menopause. Omega-3 fatty acids in sea buckthorn oil: Stabilize mood and reduce symptoms of depression, contributing to better mental health and emotional well-being.
Sea buckthorn oil, with its rich content of beneficial omega fatty acids, offers a natural and effective remedy for many of the diverse symptoms of menopause. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement to ensure it aligns with your specific health needs. This holistic approach can significantly improve the management of menopause symptoms and enhance the quality of life.
