I know all of us ladies are sick and tired of PMS symptoms disrupting our days. We each have different methods of coping, but it’s not always enough.
Some of the not-so-natural remedies we use, like over-the-counter medications, add to our list of symptoms while they help ease pain and nausea. At Simply Earth, we love using natural remedies to decrease or eliminate our use of over-the-counter medicines for period relief.
We formulated a blend containing the best essential oils for menstrual cramps or PMS: Ladies’ Choice Essential Oil Blend. Not only is it a toxin-free remedy for your time of the month, but it smells fantastic!
What’s in This Blend?
All of our blends are made with the purest essential oils on Earth and are formulated by certified aromatherapists designed for specific purposes. Ladies’ Choice Essential Oil Blend is formulated to soothe symptoms associated with PMS.
Clary Sage Essential Oil
Clary Sage Essential Oil is really good at relaxing muscles. This helps soothe menstrual cramps and pain when applied topically as per this study1.
Marjoram Essential Oil
Marjoram Essential Oil pairs with Clary Sage to help relax muscle spasms and tension. It also creates a warming sensation and soothes inflammation to ease pain2.
Geranium Essential Oil
One of the symptoms of PMS is irritability and fatigue. This clinical study3 suggested that inhaling Geranium Essential Oil can soothe stress and promote calmness. This oil’s uplifting aroma helps soothe stress which can trigger those symptoms. Natural components of Geranium Oil can also help soothe swelling and inflammation.
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender Essential Oil helps round out this blend’s aroma. It also adds to the calming and pain-soothing effects of this blend.
