Women's Hormone Balancing Herbal Massage Oil
Women.
Like the moon –
are constantly experiencing phases of change.
These experiences, marked by cycles (menstruation) and rites of passages (menopause), can be times of healing, rest, and regeneration. They also come with increased awareness and an opportunity for centeredness.
Unfortunately, these days of over-burdened lifestyles, nutritionally depleted soils, and toxic chemicals have the tendency to lead our bodies toward a multitude of imbalances.
Hormonal imbalances – rather than harmonious function — can leave us feeling on edge, out of sorts, and sleep deprived.
As I mentioned in a previous article, Balance Hormones Naturally :: A Women’s Hormone Balancing Herbal Remedy, hormonal imbalances in women can often be the cause of:
  • Thyroid dysfunction
  • Adrenal fatigue
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Weight gain
  • Dark skin discolorations
  • Hot flashes
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Food cravings
  • Breast Cancer
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Anxiety
  • Irritability or mood swings
  • Low libido
  • Memory loss or lack of focus
  • Depression
  • Hot flashes
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Headaches/Migraines
  • Infertility issues
  • Hair loss or thinning
  • Increase in facial hair
In addition to making and using the herbal tea mentioned in that post, nurture yourself — and possibly prevent the need for synthetic medications – by creating your own all-natural alternative.
By keeping hormones in balance, women can find it easier to maintain a healthy weight, gain/keep a regular menstrual cycle, enjoy sex, experience restorative sleep, and optimal energy levels.
What’s In The Oil
  • Evening Primrose Oil – a well-known supplement for hormonal imbalance (especially PMS symptoms), wonderful when used topically as well.
  • Clary Sage Essential Oil – known as a nerve tonic with its ability to calm and balance the spirit — has a sedating effect. Additionally, since the Middle Ages, it has been used to treat female complaints such as: abdominal cramps, dysmenorrhea, emotional stress, endometriosis, hormonal imbalance, hot flashes, infertility, PMS, postpartum depression, irregular cycles, and pre-menopause.
  • Basil Essential Oil – is anticatarrhal, antidepressant, energizing, and restorative. Commonly used in the treatment of amenorrhea, chronic fatigue, abdominal cramps, infertility, lactation (increase milk production), mental fatigue, migraines, and ovarian cyst
  • Bergamot Essential Oil — among its many benefits, for women specifically, this oil is used primarily for depression, anxiety, emotional stress, physical energy, physical stress, and PMS
  • Ylang Ylang Essential Oil — has influence over sexual energy and enhances relationships. It may also help to stimulate the adrenal glands.
  • Cypress Essential Oil – common primary uses include dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, menopause, menorrhagia, fatigue, and environmental stress.
  • Geranium Essential Oil — historically women found this oil useful for a variety of inflammations, heavy menstrual flow, hormonal imbalances, depression, and possibly even cancer (folklore).
Other oils respected for their ability to alleviate the symptoms of PMS & menopause, increase libido, and calm the mind include — yet are not limited to :: roman chamomile, lavender, peppermint, basil, cypress, fennel, melissa, ylang-ylang, rosemary, bergamot, sandalwood, neroli, patchouli, and juniper berry.
