This subject is near and dear to many women’s hearts.
Strangely, only in the past 10 years or so has this become more of a thing for me. And more….and more….every passing year…
Now I’m feeling bad for being judgy when I was younger, when I had friends complain of these ailments.
Sure, it’s uncomfortable having your period, and PMS can be all kinds of hormonal fun, but it was never that big of a deal to me. But as I’ve aged, and now as I seem to be in the peri-menopause stage of life, this subject has become a very real THING for me. And I’m sorry to all those I previously judged!
Oh, the endless joys of being a woman!
Thankfully, we can find some relief for many of these symptoms.
In the past few years, I have discovered the magic of Midol. It is, without a doubt, helpful, and I am constantly grateful for modern medicine.
But at the same time, I prefer finding gentler options to aid my symptoms, as I don’t like taking pills, especially in quantity.
Today, I will share some of my finds with you.
I hope they bring you some soothing relief, as they have for me!
When you Google this topic, there are a bunch of oils that come up. But 3 come up on repeat:
lavender
clary sage
marjoram
The recipe I’m going to share with you uses these 3 oils, but before that, we will explore 10 different oils and see how they can specifically help your symptoms, including help if you have acne breakouts during this time :)
