Menopause: Gentle support with herbal remedies
October 14, 2025
Menopause is a time of change – both physically and emotionally. You might 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 floral waters that can gently support you during this phase.
Herbal remedies that are good for you:
How aromatherapy can support our hormone balance
Besides the olfactory, sensory experience of essential oils, numerous studies support their effectiveness on health and well-being. The fact that some essential oils have a positive effect on the hormonal system allows aromatherapy to be used specifically for hormonal balance. The most important essential oil for women's health during menopause is clary sage, whose effectiveness allows aromatherapy to address the most common symptoms. Clary sage is very balancing for the hormonal system and the psyche, promotes serenity, and alleviates problems during perimenopause.
Studies show that essential oils influence our psyche because they act directly on the limbic system of our brain via the sense of smell. The limbic system is responsible for emotions, memory, and behavior. Selected essential oils used in aromatherapy are also effective for hormonally related mood swings: for example, bergamot, rose geranium, or lavender. Ylang-ylang is another essential oil that is beneficial for women going through menopause, especially when you are feeling irritable.
Essential oils
- Clary sage: Supports hormonal balance and can alleviate hot flashes.
- Rose geranium: Promotes emotional and hormonal balance and brings harmony to your everyday life.
- Fine 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 flashes.
Support for mucous membranes: Dry eyes, mouth, nose and vulva/vagina
Many women experience skin changes in the mucous membranes as estrogen levels decline during menopause. Burning, tired, and red eyes are signs that the conjunctiva is 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 for intimate care
Besides essential oils, fatty plant oils are also invaluable aids when it comes to counteracting the effects of hormonal fluctuations during menopause with plant-based support. The valuable pomegranate seed oil, with its high content of phytoestrogens and highly unsaturated punicic acid, is particularly prized. It is one of the plant-based remedies that support a healthy vaginal flora and strengthen 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: its high content of phytoestrogens and highly unsaturated punicic acid supports the natural intimate flora and strengthens its own protective function in intimate care oil.
- Coconut oil: Dry nasal mucous membranes can be kept supple with organic coconut care oil.
Organic plant water
- Organic Rose Blossom Floral Water: Soothing and calming moisture for dry skin and mucous membranes. A few sprays on closed eyelids are generally very beneficial and helpful for tired, red, and strained eyes. The skin and eye compatibility of farfalla Rose Blossom Floral Water was rated "very good" under the supervision of a dermatologist and an ophthalmologist. For a rosy eye break, spray cotton pads with enough of the organic rose blossom floral water, gently press them onto closed eyes, and relax for 10 minutes.
- Organic peppermint plant water: Refreshing and cooling for hot flashes
