I've been having these bouts of really itchy skin. Is this a part of the menopause? I've been having hot flushes for a year now.

Itchy skin is very common in the menopause, you may find nettle tincture helpful and I would also suggest a good female multi-vitamin supplement as well.

Make sure that you are drinking plenty of plain water as dehydration can make it worse. Relaxation is very important, so do try to get some every day.

Stress can also be a contributory factor so if this is you then a stress remedy such as Avena Calm would also be a good idea.
