My is 54 years old. Until five years ago, we had a vigorous sex life. Now she shows absolutely no interest, except for once a month when she has lucrid dreams and wakes up desperate for sex, not love-making. It's putting our relationship at risk as we have no loving intimacy.

Loss of libido is very common in the menopause; there can be several things contributing to this.

Falling oestrogen is one of the main culprits, but the hormonal changes that go on in the menopause puts a tremendous strain on the body, so energy levels often fall as well which can be a contributory factor.

Low oestrogen can affect the mood as well. Adding all of these together, it is no surprise!

Even though your wife's hormones are falling there is still a monthly cycle of sorts, and when her oestrogen level peaks each month this may explain her sudden desire.

Your wife may find the herb Maca good for this as it is traditionally used for libido, energy and mood.

It is not one of our products, but just Google for more information.
I often recommend it for menopause issues which our remedies may not cover.

You could also add in Menopause Support as this is traditionally used to help gently raise and balance oestrogen and you could use both if wished. 

Acupuncture can also be really good for this so worth looking into as well.
Some women are also unaware of how their behaviour has changed so talking to her about how she feels is very important!
