When we envision perimenopause, we often think of the most common symptoms: hot flashes, brain fog, erratic periods, difficulty sleeping, and more. However, the process of going through perimenopause holds meaning well beyond these external manifestations. It is a time of deepening, re-evaluation, transformation, and growth. In this class, we’ll learn about the physiological processes associated with perimenopausal symptoms, and how herbalists can support people undergoing these changes. We’ll also discuss the deeper and wider implications of this transition and how herbalists can be called upon to make meaning and support the powerful transformative work that many people undergo during this time.
