Hormone Balancing for Women: Alleviating PMS Naturally
Copied

Hormone imbalances, particularly fluctuating oestrogen levels, can take it's toll and contribute to PMS symptoms. From mood swings and bloating to fatigue and breakouts, the signs of imbalances can be debilitating. Fortunately, natural remedies, such as essential oils, offer relief.

Essential oils have been used for centuries for their therapeutic properties. They can potentially help in regulating hormones and providing relief from PMS symptoms. Here’s a simple blend to try:

  • Clary Sage: Known for its ability to regulate oestrogen levels and alleviate menstrual discomfort.
  • Lavender: Renowned for its calming properties, it helps in reducing stress, which can play a significant role in hormone imbalance.
  • Geranium: Helpful in balancing hormones and easing menstrual discomforts.
  • Bergamot: Its uplifting scent can help combat mood swings and irritability.

Experience relief from PMS symptoms and restore harmony with this unique blend of essential oils:

Ingredients:

  • 5 drops of Clary Sage essential oil
  • 5 drops of Lavender essential oil
  • 4 drops of Geranium essential oil
  • 3 drops of Bergamot essential oil
  • 10ml Jojoba or Almond carrier oil

How to Create Your Blend:

  1. In a small glass bowl, combine the Clary Sage, Lavender, Geranium, and Bergamot essential oils.
  2. Stir gently to ensure the essential oils are well mixed.
  3. Add the carrier oil (Jojoba or Almond) to dilute the essential oils. This makes the blend skin-safe and helps in better absorption.
  4. Pour the mixture into a 10ml glass rollerball bottle or a dark glass dropper bottle for easy application.
  5. Close the cap tightly and gently shake the bottle to mix the oils thoroughly.

How to Use Your Blend:

  1. Roll or apply the blend onto your wrists, behind the ears, or the bottom of your feet. These are pulse points that help in better absorption of the oils.
  2. For direct PMS relief, you can also apply the blend topically to the lower abdomen. Massage gently in circular motions.
  3. Use this blend whenever you feel PMS symptoms or feel out of balance. It's designed for daily use, but always listen to your body and adjust accordingly.
  4. If you experience any skin irritation, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Note: Before applying any essential oil blend to a larger area of your skin, it's wise to do a patch test on a small area to check for any adverse reactions.
