Blended With

Lavender Essential Oil

A balancing oil it aids in relaxation. and is helpful against irregular periods. 

Lavender is relaxing and has been shown to be antispasmodic, preventing the contraction of both intestinal and uterine smooth muscle, possibly doing so by increasing intracellular AMP within the muscle so it cannot contract. Lavender may, therefore, be useful against menstrual cramps. Lavender is also reportedly analgesic and diuretic. In a randomised controlled trial of 48 outpatients found that massage of clary sage and lavender (as well as marjoram) in an unscented white cream reported a significant reduction in the duration of pain during menstruation.

Clary Sage Essential Oil 

This oil is hormone-like and useful for menopausal symptoms, scanty periods and depression. May help reduce sweating. And is reputedly good for mature and puffy skin. 

Clary sage has been used for dysmenorrhea due to its reported antispasmodic and oestrogen-regulating properties and has been involved in several studies into the effect of aromatherapy in the relief of dysmenorrhea. In a study of 55 nurses, self-massage of a blend of essential oil including geranium and clary sage (as well as rose) in sweet almond, evening primrose and jojoba carrier oils for 10 minutes twice a day on the first and second days of menstruation was found to significantly reduce pain and anxiety scores compared to a placebo group and a control group of no treatment (Kim et al., 2011), suggesting that clary sage and geranium may be useful for reducing menstrual pain.

Orange sweet Essential Oil 

Uplifting and calming. The oil is mainly used for its digestive properties but it is also very useful for treating varicose veins and thread veins as orange is a circulatory tonic as well as being antimicrobial, phlebotonic, digestive and tonic.

Orange sweet acts as a tonic, making it extremely good for the body as it has boosting properties. These properties of orange oil ensure that the right amounts of hormones and enzymes are secreted by specific organs at the right time. As a result, the body functions just as it is meant to function.

Neroli Essential Oil

Neroli is a hormonally balancing oil as well as helping to treat stress, depression and anxiety. It is also known to help to treat inflammation and reduce pain. A small study of postmenopausal women found that inhaled neroli oil was beneficial for relieving several symptoms associated with menopause, such as high blood pressure, low libido, and elevated stress. Neroli oil has also been shown to decrease several symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome) in a small study on menstruating college students. These symptoms included poor mood, pain, and bloating.

Neroli may help lower blood pressure by reducing cortisol, a stress hormone. Its limonene content may also have a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system, which controls breathing and heartbeat.

Method of Use

For best effect add a small amount to a bath of running water and soak for at least 10 minutes so the essential oils can take effect (can also be used as a shower gel). Follow with the Nurture Women's well-being lotion for best results.
