Listen up, ladies! Is that time of the month making you a little extra crampy? 🥴
After years of suffering through a painful period each month, I have come up with various ways to soothe myself. I usually curl up in my favorite position with a hot compress against my abdomen.
Of course, mother nature also has ways to soothe us. Various essential oils can ease symptoms related to menstrual cramps and we’ve come up with an essential oil roll-on recipe infused with essential oils that are amazing for soothing PMS-related discomforts.
What I Love About This Flow Roll-On Recipe
What I love most about this menstrual cramps relief recipe is that it is super handy and on the go. I can use it anywhere and anytime I feel like my period is starting to act up again. It is so soothing that I do not have to always rely on over-the-counter pain medications.
What’s in This Menstrual Cramps Relief Recipe?
Ladies’ Choice Essential Oil Blend
Ladies’ Choice Essential Oil Blend is our special synergy blend to combat period discomfort and other natural PMS symptoms. It is a perfect blend of Clary Sage, Marjoram, Geranium, and Lavender essential oils to help you deal with monthly upsets.
Lemon Essential Oil
Lemon Essential Oil contains d-limonene which has natural anti-inflammatory properties according to this study1.
Marjoram Essential Oil
Like Lemon, Marjoram Essential Oil can also soothe discomfort. It is one of the best oils to support women’s health, especially relating to symptoms of PMS. That’s why it is included in our Ladies’ Choice Blend and in this recipe.
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Essential oil recipes that are used on the skin must always be diluted. Our favorite choice of carrier oil for essential oil roll-on recipes is always Fractionated Coconut Oil!
Things to Remember When Using This Recipe
Always dilute an essential oil when using it on the skin. This essential oil recipe is unlikely to cause skin irritation when diluted properly. If the oil has oxidized (been left with the cap off for long periods of time), it is more likely to cause skin irritation. Check out this dilution chart for diluting this essential oil properly.
If you are pregnant, consult your doctor prior to use.
