It is an ideal choice for the menopause. Try 1 drop Yarrow and 1 drop Rose and 1 drop Cypress in 10mls (2 teaspoons) carrier oil or put 2 drops of each of these oils in your bath.
You can also put a couple of drops of any of these oils on a tissue or cotton wool pad and inhale at regular intervals.On a spiritual level Yarrow is protective and also helps us to release past trauma.
