Is jasmine flower the 39th Bach remedy for menopause?
Our organic fermented jasmine flower extract has been clinically shown to trigger the release of oxytocin – the ‘feel-good’ hormone – while also reducing cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone.*
Inspired by the work of Dr Edward Bach
Dr Edward Bach’s pioneering work with flower remedies has long inspired us at Antipodes. In many ways, Bach paved the way for us to pursue our trailblazing path of botanical discovery that we have pursued over the last 20 years. Bach’s spiritual connection to nature and belief that emotional wellbeing influences physical health set him apart as a true visionary.
We can only imagine Bach’s delight at recent discoveries in botanical science – the discovery of the mycelium network through which trees communicate with each other, or the ability of jasmine flowers to stimulate the release of oxytocin, a hormone linked to happiness and emotional balance.
We like to think of jasmine as the undiscovered 39th Bach Remedy, bringing comfort and emotional wellbeing to women navigating menopause.
Our organic fermented jasmine flower extract has been clinically shown to trigger the release of oxytocin upon application*, while also decreasing cortisol levels (the stress hormone) making it a unique addition to our menopause cream. This silky, cooling moisturiser also infuses Bach’s 35th flower remedy – wild oat – offering a unique formula designed to soothe both the skin and the soul.

Wild oat – Bach’s 35th remedy
Dr Bach’s 35th flower remedy, wild oat, was intended for those seeking clarity and purpose. By combining this with jasmine flower’s oxytocin-boosting properties, we have created a cream that not only nurtures your skin but also helps restore a sense of balance and direction.
Jasmine Flower Menopause Facial Cream is homage to the wisdom of Dr Bach and a celebration of women who deserve to feel confident, calm and at ease in their own skin.
In just seven years, Dr Edward Bach developed 38 unique flower remedies, each designed to support a different emotional state. His approach encouraged people to reflect on their feelings and personality traits to find the remedy best suited to them.
If Dr Bach were here today, we believe he would recognise menopausal women as someone facing a profound emotional and physical shift. This understanding is at the heart of our menopause facial cream – designed specifically for women seeking both comfort and transformation.
Our Jasmine Flower Menopause Facial Cream pays tribute to Dr Bach’s legacy while supporting the modern woman through her next chapter.
The physical and emotional benefits of oat extract and fermented jasmine flower

The delicate, lightweight cream provides a comforting touch, while the uplifting scent of jasmine flowers evokes feelings of warmth and deep emotional care – leaving you feeling truly nourished from within. Wild oat extract helps restore a sense of purpose and direction.
The early years of Dr Edward Bach
Before developing his renowned flower remedies, Dr Bach worked with bacteria in homeopathic medicine. However, he longed to create a more natural and gentle approach to healing – one that relied on plants rather than disease-based treatments.
“Healing with the clean, pure, beautiful agents of nature is surely the one method of all which appeals to most of us”
DR EDWARD BACH
By 1930, he was so passionate about this new path that he left his lucrative Harley Street practice and moved away from London, dedicating himself entirely to discovering nature’s healing potential. With the help of his assistant, Nora Weeks, he refined his methods, relying on intuition and direct observation rather than laboratory-based science.
Through years of meticulous testing, he identified 38 flower remedies, each addressing a specific emotional state. He believed that by restoring emotional balance, physical ailments could also ease naturally – a philosophy that continues to inspire holistic health today.
Our menopause cream embodies this belief, harnessing the power of wild oat and fermented jasmine flower to support women’s emotional and physical wellbeing.
