Perimenopause got you feeling off?

We tried a surprising holistic remedy that actually helped

Let’s face it — perimenopause can feel like an emotional rollercoaster with a side of hot flashes and sleepless nights. As hormones fluctuate, many women find themselves searching for natural ways to feel balanced again. That’s where crystal healing and hot stone therapy come in — two calming, energy-based treatments that are gaining serious traction. Intrigued? So were we. That’s why one of us decided to try it out and see if it really works...

Hot stones and crystal healing: a perfect match

What makes this blend of hot stone therapy and crystal healing particularly special? During a session, trained practitioners utilise heated stones to draw out negative energy while simultaneously incorporating crystals to restore balance. The positive energy of specific crystals combined with the warmth of the stones creates a serene and rejuvenating experience. Each session typically lasts over an hour, allowing ample time for clients to unwind and fully benefit from the treatment.

Customisation for your unique needs

Every woman’s journey through perimenopause is different, which is why customisation is key. Before starting your session, you’ll have the opportunity to choose an aromatherapy oil that meets your personal needs at that moment. Whether you’re looking to relax and shut off from the world or to invigorate and recharge your energy, these oils can enhance the benefits of your treatment. We noted feeling more empowered and balanced afterwards, particularly those of us who are not taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Long-term benefits of crystal healing

Regular sessions of hot stone and crystal therapy don’t just soothe you in the moment — many women find the sense of calm, balance, and emotional clarity lingers long after. Over time, these treatments can become powerful allies in managing the ups and downs of perimenopause.

That said, a little post-session self-care goes a long way. For starters, avoid too much sun exposure right after your treatment to protect your skin and let those nourishing oils do their thing. And don’t forget to hydrate! I aimed for 2.5L of water that day to help flush out toxins, but honestly? The constant trips to the loo got old fast — I tapped out at 1.5L. Still, not bad!

Dress comfortably for your healing journey

While embracing holistic healing, don’t overlook the importance of what you wear. Choose comfortable, loose-fitting clothing made from soft fabrics that are easy to slip on and off. For undergarments, soft cotton thong-style knickers are ideal, as they allow the therapist to move stones and crystals smoothly across your torso—enhancing the flow of your session. Feeling at ease in your clothing can greatly enrich your overall crystal healing experience.

Embrace the power of crystal healing

Crystal healing and hot stone therapy offer a gentle, holistic way to navigate the often unpredictable path of perimenopause. After a few sessions, I noticed a real shift — fewer headaches, less irritation, and a surprising sense of emotional steadiness. Even those intense mood swings and physical discomforts started to feel a bit more manageable. Most importantly, I felt more grounded and empowered in my own body again — and that’s no small thing.

It's important to note that this isn’t a one-time fix. To truly harness the power of crystal healing, start with sessions every two weeks, then gradually move to monthly treatments as balance is restored.
