blend of oils

[tyncgodechoon]

what blend of oils would be ideal for menopause??

 

[Spunk!]

flowers are balancers and resonate well with womens conditions.

I would highly recommend Geranium, in my opinion, the best balancer, but if you can afford Rose that is a good one too.

Other flowers are

lavender, ylang ylang, jasmine.

I would mix geranium, ylang ylang and bergamot together, bergamot is a good pick me up oil.

or geranium, clary sage and bergamot, clary sage is like the aromatherapy version of prozac!

As already mentioned, clary sage and rose are very good for menopausal symptoms. Also sage (spanish) and fennel. Roman chamomile, lemongrass, peppermint, cypress, lemon and vetiver are good for hot flushes. Making a spritz spray with a few of these oils can be very effective at helping hot flushes.

Well it all depends on your particular symptoms. I'll give you an example from my own experience.

I've had menorrhagia now for years, and finally got taken seriously enough to have investigations. The consultant diagnosed adenomyosis, which is a condition where the growths respond to oestrogen: as I am perimenopausal, I have an oestrogen imbalance. I'm now on progesterone to counter this, and am having normal periods for the first time since I came off the Pill!

This means, however, that I can't use oestrogenic oils - such as rose, geranium or clary sage.

And I love rose and geranium...

(clary sage gives me nightmares)

So I'm now wary about suggesting a general menopause blend. If you have specific symptoms, it's better to make blends for those symptoms considering the whole person.

BTW the last time I had a massage, I had lemon, juniper and sandalwood and it was gorgeous!

I would highly recommend lavender , rose and geranium. A ready made spray is ideal as well as drops on tissue , inhale when flushing
