The Menopause - Fibromyalgia Connection

Natural Wool - Menopause - Fibromyalgia

Wool and the Effects of Menopause and Fibromyalgia.
Over 40 million American women experience symptoms of menopause. This number is expected to increase in the coming years as the current baby boomers are soon to be affected. The effects of menopause are common among this growing number of women.

Hot flashes are the most commonly experienced symptom of menopause. Hot flashes are surges of heat throughout the body, followed by excessive sweating and often shivering and affect 60-75 percent of women for a year or sometimes longer. In addition to the surprising flashes of heat, excessive sweating can dramatically disturb one's sleep. It is not uncommon for the need to change sleepwear in the middle of the night as well as sweat filled bedding. Many menopausal women find a satisfying night of sleep most elusive. While Good Night Naturals cannot offer a cure for hot flashes, we do offer solutions for a thorough night of restful, rejuvenating sleep.

Find relief with PureGrow™Wool. Due to this hollow, water thirsty fibers ability to efficiently wick away sweat, bedding made with PureGrow™Wool promotes dry, comfortable warmth all evening long. (Click Comforters, Mattress Pads and Pillows). On average, through perspiration and breathing, an adult can loose up to a pint of water vapor during a normal night of sleep. Menopausal women can loose even more than that! Without the proper bedding and mattress with the ability to absorb moisture, a high body humidity level can raise heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, if you or your mattress feels damp or clammy it is likely you will toss, turn or awaken.

There is help. PureGrow™Wool, with its hollow fibers can effectively wick away moisture that your body looses all night long. PureGrow™Wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture (10 times as much as synthetics) without showing signs of dampness. And with the proper care of wool bedding and mattresses, captured moisture is released back into the air. Tests at the Polytechnic Institute of Wales, featuring wool versus synthetic fibers, revealed that the heart rates under wool filled comforters were significantly lower 100% of the time. Furthermore, when under a wool comforter, skin humidity was significantly lower 71% of the time.
