Aromatherapy As Treatment for Perimenopause
There are many ways to use aromatherapy, but the two most common in perimenopause include anxiety and sleep.Â
For anxiety consider preparing an inhaler with 5 drops of clary sage and 5 drops of rose geranium. For handling, put the wick of the inhaler in a glass dish, and then drip the essential oils onto the wick. Then use some tweezers to pick up the wick to return it to the inhaler. This prevents the oils from making contact with your skin. When you feel a wave of anxiety descending, inhale the scent using a few deep breaths.
For sleep, prepare your inhaler with 5 drops of lavender essential oil, 5 drops of chamomile and 5 drops of marjoram. Before sleep, inhale the scent five or so times using a deep breathing practice. Visualize calm thoughts.
It’s a good idea to label and date your inhalers. But they can easily last a year or two.
So consider aromatherapy to help improve your sense of well-being during perimenopause, and some essential oils may help with specific symptoms.

Aromatherapy is not considered very often as a treatment for symptoms in perimenopause. But consider this. The nasal passageways have a direct and very effective connection with the brain. Essential oils used in aromatherapy may help relieve some of the symptoms that you’re experiencing.
