Menopause: Gentle support with herbal remedies

Menopause is a time of change – physically and emotionally. You may notice that your body feels different or that your emotions are more intense than before. Fortunately, there are effective herbal remedies such as essential oils, plant oils, and organic herbal waters that can gently guide you through this phase.

Herbal remedies that are good for you: How aromatherapy can support our hormone balance

In addition to the olfactory, sensual experience of essential oils, numerous studies support their effectiveness for health and well-being. The positive effect of some essential oils on the hormonal system allows aromatherapy to use them specifically for hormonal balance. The most important essential oil for women's health during menopause is clary sage, whose effectiveness in aromatherapy counteracts the most common symptoms. Clary sage has a profound balancing effect on the hormonal balance and the psyche, promotes serenity, and alleviates problems during perimenopause.

Studies show that essential oils influence our psyche because they directly impact the limbic system of our brain via our sense of smell. The limbic system is responsible for emotions, memory, and behavior. Selected essential oils used in aromatherapy have also proven effective for hormonally induced mood swings: for example, bergamot, rose geranium, or lavender are excellent. Ylang-ylang is also an essential oil that is beneficial to women during menopause, especially when their mood is very irritable.

Essential oils

• Clary sage: Supports hormonal balance and can relieve hot flushes.
• Rose geranium: Promotes emotional and hormonal balance and brings harmony to your everyday life.
• Lavender: Helps you find peace, balances mood swings and helps you sleep better.
• Peppermint: The menthol contained in peppermint triggers a cooling sensation and can have a refreshing effect on the skin during hot flushes.

Support for mucous membranes: Dry eyes, mouth, nose, and vulva/vagina

For many women, declining estrogen levels during menopause lead to skin changes in the mucous membranes. Burning, tired, and red eyes are signs that the mucous membranes in the eyes are also suffering from dryness. Organic rose water is moisturizing and gentle on the eyes.

Dry mucous membranes can be uncomfortable, but there are gentle ways to care for them. A spritz of organic rose water revitalizes tired eyes, while a mild intimate care oil with pomegranate seed oil gently supports the vaginal flora.

Cold-pressed, high-quality plant oils

 
In addition to essential oils, fatty plant oils are also invaluable aids when it comes to counteracting the effects of hormonal fluctuations during menopause with herbal support. The valuable pomegranate seed oil, with its high content of phytoestrogen and highly unsaturated punicic acid, is highly regarded. It is one of the herbal remedies that supports a healthy intimate flora and strengthens its protective function.

• St. John's Wort: Known for its mood-enhancing properties, a useful herbal remedy for low moods during menopause, e.g. in a DIY body oil
• Pomegranate seed oil: The high content of phytoestrogen and highly unsaturated punicic acid supports the natural intimate flora and strengthens its own protective function in the intimate care oil.
• Coconut oil: Dry nasal mucous membranes can be kept supple with organic coconut care oil.

Organic plant water

• Organic rose blossom plant water: Soothing and relieving moisture for dry skin and mucous membranes. A few sprays on closed eyelids are generally very soothing and helpful for tired, red, and strained eyes. The skin and eye tolerance of farfalla rose blossom water has been rated "very good" under the supervision of a dermatologist and an ophthalmologist. For a rosy eye break, spray cotton pads with enough rose blossom organic plant water, press lightly onto closed eyes, and relax for 10 minutes.
• Organic peppermint plant water: Refreshing and cooling during hot flashes
