Postmenopausal zest is a phrase coined by anthropologist Margaret Mead. It is a time when we are not concerned with birth control, PMS, painful cramps or other monthly inconveniences. "This", she says, "is freedom." It is a stage of life that is free of many encumbrances and full of wonderful possibilities. We are still young enough to live life to its fullest and enjoy all the good things nature has provided us. During this period a lot of women experience a renewed zest for life, rejuvenated sexual desire, and look for exhilarating new adventures or new beginnings. It is like starting life all over with a better set of rules. If you haven't done it before, it is time to take charge of your own health.

Create your zest by paying attention to diet (Oriental women don't have a word for hotflash), learn how to use herbs and natural hormones for hormonal balancing, and essential oils for optimum psychological health and libido. There are many such aids from which to choose. You'll probably need to experiment a little to find the ones that are most effective for you.

Pregnenolone is one of the newest hormones to become available and is one of the most versatile. The body easily converts pregnenolone into DHEA, progesterone, and even estrogen and testosterone. The hormone conversion happens on an as-needed basis, and therefore, not likely to cause side effects. Also, helpful are creams and tinctures that contain wild yam, clary sage, black cohosh, blue cohosh, and fennel.

Taking new adventures into the bedroom can be as easy as stocking up on sensual massage oils and therapeutic quality erotic essential oils. Mutual massages with the right blend of aromatic oils can ignite your love life. Get prepared for a romantic evening by taking a geranium and clary sage bath as these two oils are "hormone regulators" and can work on a mental level to harmonize emotions. Oils that can have a positive effect on sex hormones are good because they can relieve stress. Ylang ylang, rose, black pepper, and ginger are considered aphrodisiacs. Recent research shows that sex can improve your health, strengthen your immune system, and prevent the onset of disease. When sex is enhanced by therapeutic aromatherapy can zest be far behind?
