We are born into a family, a lineage, a city, a country – a vast web of the living and of ancestors who have passed. Placed within this cocoon of connection and intimacy, you’d think we ought to feel secure, safe and loved – that we belong.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.” (Charles Darwin)
In my previous article of this series “Improve your sex life during the Peri, Post, and Menopause stage”, I was discussing the importance of using lub, in case you find intercourse is not satisfactory, related to vaginal dryness (here we add the link to the previous article)
After menopause, women become more vulnerable to osteoporosis. This is a condition where the bones begin to lose calcium and become thin and brittle. The bones are weakened in such a way that with the slightest blow or fall, we can suffer a fracture, especially of the hip, wrist and spine.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine the view of menopause is the decline of the Qi, the invisible force, the life energy. We have two Qi types: the inherited one from our parents, and the one received at birth from our first contact with air through the lungs, and also from food.
