Scientific studies on the benefits of essential oils as safe and effective solutions are proving to be very interesting. Here are a few of them:

Kyung-Bok Lee, Eun Cho, Young-Sook Kang. Changes in 5-hydroxytryptamine and Cortisol Plasma Levels in Menopausal Women After Inhalation of Clary Sage Oil. Phytotherapy research. 07 May 2014. https://doi.org/10.1002/ptr.5163
A study aimed to examine the antidepressant effects of clary sage oil to compare changes in neurotransmitter concentrations in the plasma in voluntary participants, 22 menopausal women in their fifties, divided into 2 groups (a normal tendency group and another with a depressive tendency). After inhaling clary sage oil, cortisol levels were significantly decreased while the concentration of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was significantly increased. The different rate of change in 5-HT concentration between the normal and depressive tendency groups varied according to the inventory of depression measurements. The rate of change in cortisol was higher in the depressive tendency groups than in the normal groups. It was therefore concluded that clary sage oil has an antidepressant effect.

Comparison of the efficacy of massage therapy and aromatherapy massage with geranium on depression in postmenopausal women: A clinical trial. Zahedan Journal of Research in Medical Sciences. zjrms.ir/files/site1/user_files_10e1c1/lotfipur-A-10-736-4-7ba1e4d.pdf
A study was conducted to determine the effect of aromatherapy massage on depression in menopausal women. In this clinical trial, 120 menopausal women were randomly divided into three groups, namely the control group, the aromatherapy massage group, and the massage group. In the aromatherapy massage group, geranium essential oil (2%) in almond oil was used. The two groups were treated for 8 weeks, once a week for 30 minutes, and their depression rate was assessed before and after the intervention and compared to the control group. Results: Aromatherapy massage reduced the average depression score (DM: 0.51, 95% CI), more than massage therapy without essential oil (DM: 0.20, 95% CI). In conclusion: the results of this study consider that aromatherapy massage is beneficial for improving the symptoms of depression and recommend it as a complementary therapy.

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2008 Sep; 5(3): 325–328. Published online 2007 Apr 23. doi: 10.1093/ecam/nem027 PMCID: PMC2529395 PMID: 18830459. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18830459/
This study examined the effects of aromatherapy massage on menopausal symptoms in Korean climacteric women (an experimental group of 25 climacteric women with a control waitlist group of 27 climacteric women). Aromatherapy was applied locally to the subjects of the experimental group in the form of a massage on the abdomen, back, and arms using lavender, rose geranium, rose, and jasmine in almond and evening primrose oils once a week for 8 weeks (eight times in total). The experimental group reported a significantly lower total menopause index than the waitlist controls (P < 0.05). There were also significant intergroup differences in subcategories such as vasomotor, melancholy, arthralgia, and myalgia (all P < 0.05). These results suggest that aromatherapy massage can be an effective treatment for menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, depression, and pain in climacteric women.

Exploring Pharmacological Mechanisms of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) Essential Oil on Central Nervous System Targets. Front Pharmacol. 2017; 8: 280. Published online 2017 May 19. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2017.00280 PMCID: PMC5437114. PMID: 28579958. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5437114/
Essential oil of lavender is traditionally used and approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) as a herbal medicine to relieve stress and anxiety. Some animal and clinical studies reveal positive results in anxiety and depression models, although very little research has been conducted on molecular mechanisms. The effects of lavender essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia) have been evaluated on well-established targets of the central nervous system, such as MAO-A, SERT, GABA A, and NMDA receptors as well as in vitro models of neurotoxicity. The results showed that lavender essential oil and its main components exert an affinity for the NMDA glutamate receptor. It is also stated that lavender and linalool have been able to bind to the serotonin transporter (SERT). According to the data, the anxiolytic and antidepressant effects attributed to lavender, this study suggests that this oil could exert pharmacological properties by modulating the NMDA receptor, the SERT.
