The 6 Best Aromatherapy Oils for Menopause

Menopause is a natural phase in every woman's journey, often accompanied by a range of symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Fortunately, aromatherapy presents a complementary approach to ease these discomforts, harnessing the power of essential oils' therapeutic properties. Let's explore six essential oils that offer relief during menopause.

Lavender

Known for its calming and sedative properties, lavender is a go-to remedy for alleviating anxiety, depression, and sleep issues commonly experienced during menopause. Research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports its efficacy in reducing menopause-related stress and improving sleep quality.

Clary Sage

With its hormone-balancing potential, clary sage is a valuable ally for managing hot flashes and promoting emotional stability during menopause. Studies from the Phytotherapy Research Journal suggest its effectiveness in reducing cortisol levels and improving thyroid hormone levels, offering hope for menopausal women.

Peppermint

The cooling and refreshing properties of peppermint oil provide relief from hot flashes, offering respite from one of menopause's most uncomfortable symptoms. Application on the skin in diluted form has shown promising results in alleviating hot flashes, according to research.

Geranium

Renowned for its hormone-balancing effects, geranium oil can uplift mood and reduce anxiety, offering much-needed support during menopause. Research published in the International Journal of Aromatherapy highlights its positive impact on hormonal balance and mood enhancement.

Neroli

Praised for its ability to reduce menopause symptoms and stress while lowering blood pressure, neroli oil offers comprehensive relief for postmenopausal women. Inhalation of neroli oil has shown promising results in reducing menopause symptoms and enhancing sexual desire.

Rose

With its uplifting effects on mood and its ability to alleviate anxiety and depression, rose oil is a valuable addition to any menopause relief regimen. Aromatherapy massages using rose oil have been shown to improve depression and anxiety among menopausal women.
