Relief for Menopausal Skin Changes
During menopause, hormonal changes can leave skin feeling dry, sensitive, and prone to irritation. Aquaphor Healing Ointment offers multi-purpose relief for common menopausal skin concerns. This dermatologist-recommended ointment protects and soothes extremely dry skin, cracked hands and feet, and chapped lips - all frequent complaints during this transition.
Unlike typical lotions, this intensive ointment creates a protective barrier with petrolatum, panthenol, and glycerin to lock in moisture and support skin healing. It's particularly helpful for night sweats-related skin irritation, increased skin sensitivity, and the thinning, drier skin that often accompanies hormonal changes.
Fragrance-free and preservative-free, it's gentle enough for newly sensitive skin and provides long-lasting relief for the whole body. Apply to problem areas as needed throughout the day and before bed for softer, more comfortable skin during your menopause journey.

As estrogen fluctuates and ebbs during menopause transition, lean muscle naturally declines. Getting enough protein helps slow that loss, supports a steadier metabolism, and can make it easier to maintain a healthy weight. Protein also contributes to bone strength, steadier blood sugar (hello, fewer crash-and-crave moments), and supplies the amino acids your body uses to make mood-related neurotransmitters. Paired with regular strength training, a higher-protein pattern can help preserve muscle and bone while keeping you fuller and more energized.

Key IngredientsLymphatic massage, also called manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system—a network of vessels and nodes that helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body. While menopause itself doesn’t directly impair lymphatic function, hormonal changes—particularly reduced estrogen—can contribute to increased inflammation, fluid retention, and joint or muscle discomfort in some women.
How It May Help
Reduced Swelling and Fluid Retention: Menopause-related hormonal shifts can sometimes cause mild edema in the hands, feet, or joints. Lymphatic massage supports fluid movement, which may ease swelling.
Decreased Inflammation: By promoting lymph flow, MLD may help reduce localized inflammatory responses, potentially lessening pain in areas affected by stiffness or swelling.
Improved Tissue Health: Enhanced circulation of lymph can support nutrient delivery and waste removal, which may aid recovery from exercise or injury—important during menopause, when healing can be slower.
Who and When to Consider Lymphatic Massage
Best Candidates: Women experiencing menopause-related swelling, discomfort from mild fluid retention, or chronic inflammatory conditions (e.g., mild arthritis) may benefit.
Medical Considerations: Those with active infections, untreated cancer, blood clots, congestive heart failure, or kidney problems should avoid MLD unless cleared by a healthcare provider.
Timing: Lymphatic massage can be considered as part of a broader wellness plan, especially when inflammation or swelling is persistent despite lifestyle measures like exercise, hydration, and an anti-inflammatory diet.
Bottom Line
Lymphatic massage is not a cure for menopause symptoms but may be a supportive therapy for reducing swelling and discomfort linked to inflammation or fluid retention. Always consult a licensed massage therapist trained in MLD and seek medical clearance if you have underlying health conditions.
MidiHealth delivers expert, science‑backed virtual care for perimenopause, menopause, and midlife wellness—personalized and delivered with true cultural sensitivity. With over 200,000 women served nationwide, a remarkable 91% report symptom relief within 60 days—and 92% see improvements in mood, anxiety, or irritability within just two months.
But numbers only tell part of the story. Real women—many of whom felt dismissed by traditional providers—are finding effective, empathetic care through MidiHealth. As one reviewer shared:
“I spent almost three years being dismissed by doctors, and told to nap more. I’ve been so happy to find a team that knows how to help women through this transition.”
Others celebrate how quickly relief starts after joining:
“My night sweats and hot flashes are gone. My libido is back and I'm happy to have the energy to do the things I love again.”
“I can’t believe what a difference my Care Plan made. My joint pain has subsided, I’m sleeping better, my moodiness leveled out. I feel better than I have in a year."
On Trustpilot, feedback continues to highlight Midi’s clinicians’ attentiveness and effectiveness:
“My practitioner has been fantastic since my first appointment over a year ago. She was the first of 4 GYNs who actually listened to me and acknowledged my menopausal symptoms.”

Founded by women who intimately understand the hurdles of midlife care—from feeling dismissed to struggling with insurance—MidiHealth builds individualized care plans that honor the full spectrum of lived experience. Especially for Black women and women of color, this matters: studies show they often face earlier menopause, longer and more intense symptoms, and systemic barriers to treatment options like hormone therapy. Midi stands out by centering culturally responsive care and ensuring its clinicians listen, understand, and validate experiences that are too often overlooked.
