Hormone Balancing - Try These Essential Oils
Hormonal imbalances can wreak havoc on your mood, weight, and reproductive health.
But fear not, dear moonie!
Essential oils like clary sage, rose, and ylang ylang may help regulate your hormones and nudge things back into balance.
3 Essential Oils that Pack a Hormonal Punch
So when you are looking to nudge your body back into balance , I like to look for help from these 3 oils.
Here's why:
-
Clary sage essential oil is like a superhero with estrogen-like powers, swooping in to save the day and ease menstrual cramps. It can also reduce cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress, and help you feel more relaxed.
-
Rose Absolute - 3% in Jojoba is the ultimate chill pill, with a calming effect that can reduce stress levels and soothe symptoms of anxiety and depression. It can also work its magic on PMS symptoms and support reproductive health.
Ylang Ylang Essential Oil - And let's not forget about ylang ylang essential oil, the hormone-regulating rockstar that can reduce cortisol levels and improve your mood. It's like a mini-vacation in a bottle, helping you feel more relaxed and balanced.
Ewww ... Have You Smelt Clary Sage?
Clary Sage was always going to be the hero of our feminine balance trio.
After all it is the "goto" women's essential oil - noted for its hormonal regulating and emotional balancing properties.
BUT have you smelt it on it's own?
The scent could be described as similar to damp, well worn socks!
It's better blended
Unfortunately, Clary Sage can be a bit overwhelming when diffused on its own - so I always prefer it in a blend.
That's why we included in our 2 most feminine and floral oils - Ylang Ylang and Rose Absolute - 3% dilution into our Balance Trio.
Clary Sage can be combined with either oil or with both for great effect- and better still - gorgeous scent..
Here's a starter balancing blend to try:
2 drops Clary Sage Essential Oil
1 drop Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
2 drops Rose Absolute 3% in Jojoba Oil
Play with the proportions, add in a little Lavender Essential oil to help meld the scents together or add a citrus oil to lighten the mood.
The opportunities to create your own personal balancing blend that suits just you, are endless.
We'd love to hear what your favourite formula is.
Enjoy!
