Disrupted Endocrine systems are a common problem amongst woman today! Symptoms of a disruption include PMS, hormonal acne, ovarian cysts, fibroids as well as conditions like PCOS and Endometriosis!! I did a post last month all about hormone disruptors and some ways you can rid your body of the MOST common environmental factors, such as artificial fragrance known to unbalance out bodies and cause unwanted hormonal systems. you can check out the Hormones + Oil Support Pt. 1 post here.
Pure Essential Oils are an amazing substitute in your home for the artificial fragrances found in air fresheners, room sprays and dryer sheets! Check out my post on why I am only crazy about Young Living oils around here!
While cleaning up your environment-most specifically your home environment- oils can do WONDERS for the health of you and your family. Today I will be sharing with you some great oils that can support your body when specific hormonal symptoms pop up!
So let’s talk first talk about some oils that can support you.
GERANIUM can support circulation. It can help release negative memories and ease nervous tension. It also helps balance emotions, lifts spirits and fosters peace, wellbeing and hope.
CLARY SAGE when applied to feet it naturally supports healthy estrogen and progesterone level, which is key to erasing PMS and hormonal imbalance. For menstrual discomfort, rub three to five drops on the abdomen. Combine with Roman Chamomile and add to bath water for a stress-relieving bath.
SAGE can be used to support belly comfort during your menstruation cycle (****AVOID if epileptic or have high blood pressure****)
BERGAMOT: Used for calming and hormonal support. Can relieve tension and has mood lifting qualities.
Here are some Roller recipes to have on hand or to pop into your diffuser when specific symptoms come up for you!
HORMONE IMBALANCES As women age their levels of estrogen and progesterone decline and can contribute to many hormonal imbalances. Here are some blends to help support a balanced cycle.
Balance Blend #1: 10 drops Basil, 10 drops Marjoram, 8 drops Hyssop, 4 drops Helichrysm, 6 drops Ylang YlangBalance
Blend #2: 5 drops Bergamot, 5 drops Geranium Dilute 50/50 with Essential Oils and Carrier Oil.
Apply 4-6 drops of the blend to the forehead, crown of head, soles of feet, lower abdomen and lower back 1 – 3 times a day!
SWEATS & FLASHES . these kind of symptoms are caused by irregular function of the blood vessels when they constrict and dilate. This increase in blood flow raises temperature and increases heart rate.
Stay Cool Blend- 15 drops of Sclaressence topped with a carrier oil in a roller and used on your neck and forearms to balance everything out and avoid those hot moments! This has been a favorite remedy amongst my oily friends! Read more about it in Prt 1.
Cool & Collected Blend: 10 drops Clary Sage, 11 drops Geranium, 7 drops Lemon, 2 drops Sage
Mix together and add carrier oils, again 50/50 and apply to back of neck and massage all of body. Can also add to a bath!
Also, Dragon Time and Progessence Plus can help balance the body as well. The trick is consistency and finding the right blend for you!
IRREGULARITY . At certain times in life and at certain ages, periods can become irregular and scattered, especially during menopause. Unfortunately, not knowing if or when it is coming can be so difficult and cause tension.
Regulator Blend #1: 5 drops Peppermint, 16 drops Clary Sage, 11 drops Sage, 5 drops Jasmine
Regulator Blend #2: 10 drops Chamomile, 10 drops Fennel
Mix essential oils together, dilute 50/50 with carrier oil and apply to forehead, crown of head, soles of feet, lower abdomen and lower back 1-3 times a day.
EXCESSIVE MENSTRUATION Most of us have times when this happens. For some it’s the first few days of our periods and for others it’s the entire time.
Blend: 10 drops Geranium, 10 drops Helichrysm, 5 drops Cistus
Mix the blend together, dilute 50/50 with carrier oil and apply to lower abdomen and lower back. Can also make a compress and let it sit on lower abdomen.
