Lavender and geranium are just two of the essential oils that can have beneficial effects on menopausal symptoms.  LAVENDER is great for helping to induce sleep and has a very calming effect on the whole system. Great for headaches and migraines too.  GERANIUM and ROSE GERANIUM is a very balancing oil for females and can help with stress relief and dry skin.  Geranium is also amazing a deterring mosquitoes.  Ever since I lived in Italy and realised why our terrace was covered in beautiful geraniums I’ve used it as a mozzie spray alternative. BASIL has been reported as helping with hot flushes while CITRUS has anti-inflammatory properties but do be careful with Citrus because it can make your skin sun-sensitive. A couple of drops of PEPPERMINT OIL can be inhaled directly from a tissue to help, again, with hot flashes and is great for improving concentration.  So if, like me, your head’s a bit all over the place, this oil is a great stimulant. And, lastly, CLARY SAGE has been known to help with bone health as well as acting as an antidepressant when inhaled. 
And if you don’t believe in all that stuff, well then, just having a relaxing massage with certain oils or using an aromatherapy burner will help you to de-stress and allow the body to naturally rebalance.

There are contraindications for a few of these essential oils, so it’s important to check out a reliable source of information or a trained aromatherapist.
