Our study demonstrates that both massage and aro- matherapy massage can improve psychological symptoms in postmenopausal women. In a follow-up of the partici- pants, one month after the end of interventions, it was observed that the methods had no side-effects, and being easily applicable, they could be applied by health care providers in a safe manner. As evidence-based research, the results of our study are also useful. There is scant clinical evidence supporting the psychological effects of aromather- apy for menopausal women, with a result that both patients and clinicians are unwilling to use such interventions as a primary treatment. Clearly, well-documented evidence of the safety and efficacy of aromatherapy may help to make these interventions the treatment of choice for individuals experiencing negative psychological symptoms during the menopausal transition.
