October is Menopause Awareness Month — a time to open up the conversation around menopause, remove the stigma, and support the millions of women navigating this powerful life transition.
Menopause isn’t just about the end of periods. It’s a hormonal shift that can affect everything from sleep and mood to skin, joints, and overall well-being. At Spritz Wellness, we believe in holistic self-care rituals that honour the body and mind — especially during this deeply transformative stage of life.
Let’s look at some of the most common symptoms of menopause — and ways you can naturally ease them using aromatherapy and wellness tools.
1. Sleep Disruptions
One of the most common — and frustrating — symptoms of menopause is poor sleep. Hormonal changes can lead to night sweats, insomnia, and increased anxiety, making it difficult to fall and stay asleep.
Spritz Wellness Solution: Sleep Rituals
-
Sleep Atmosphere Mist – Crafted with calming essential oils like lavender, chamomile, and bergamot, this mist creates a relaxing environment that signals your brain it’s time to wind down.
-
Eye Pillows – Weighted with flaxseed and infused with lavender, our sleep eye pillows help calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and block out light for deeper rest.
Tip: Create a pre-bed ritual by spritzing your pillow, dimming the lights, and placing a warm eye pillow across your eyes for 10 minutes of stillness.
2. Dry Eyes and Sensory Sensitivities
Hormonal changes can lead to dry, itchy eyes and increased sensitivity to light, especially during perimenopause and post-menopause. These changes are subtle but can make screen time, reading, or bright environments uncomfortable.
Spritz Wellness Solution: Eye Care Support
-
Unscented Eye Pillow – For those with sensitivities, our unscented option provides gentle pressure and a cooling sensation to soothe tired, dry eyes.
-
Cold Compress Use – Store your eye pillow in the fridge for a refreshing cold compress that helps relieve eye irritation and puffiness.
3. Aches, Pains and Joint Stiffness
Lower estrogen levels during menopause can contribute to inflammation, stiffness, and joint discomfort — especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
Spritz Wellness Solution: Restore Through Movement and Aromatherapy
-
Restore Atmosphere Mist – This energising blend of rosemary, bergamot, and peppermint helps invigorate the senses and can be used before gentle movement or stretching.
-
Post-Yoga Eye Pillow Ritual – After yoga or stretching, place a warm eye pillow across your forehead or chest to ground your body and release tension.
Tip: Gentle yoga, stretching, and regular walking are excellent ways to keep joints mobile and ease menopause-related stiffness.
Honour the Shift: Menopause as a New Chapter
At Spritz Wellness, we believe menopause deserves more than just "managing symptoms" — it’s an opportunity to deepen your self-care, slow down, and connect with your body in a new way.
Simple rituals — like pausing to breathe in calming essential oils, resting your eyes under a soothing pillow, or spritzing your space before bed — can have a powerful effect on both body and mind.
