These body changes and symptoms are commonly associated with decreased estrogen. However, decreased estrogen is not the only cause of vaginal dryness. It is important to stop using soap and powder on the vulva, stop using fabric softeners and anticling products on your underwear, and avoid wearing panty liners and pads. Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants may help. Persistent vaginal dryness and painful intercourse should be evaluated by your healthcare provider. If it is determined to be a symptom of menopause, vaginal dryness can be treated with low-dose vaginal estrogen, or the oral selective estrogen-receptor modulator ospemifene can be used.

Why should you learn how to do Reiki? How about for relieving stress and anxiety in your children! The pain relief and emotional balance that Reiki brings to adults can also help children and teens facing a variety of issues, such as ADHD and anxiety. Reiki energy promotes the body’s own natural healing processes, and children undergoing Reiki therapy often experience a reduction in hyperactivity, better sleeping habits, and calmer physical and emotional states. Teen depression or anxiety can also be alleviated. When you learn how to channel this healing energy, you can use it any time you want to help your child’s well- being. Dimensions Reiki has a series of introductory Reiki classes designed to teach you how to use Reiki energy and certify you as an official practitioner.
