1 essential oils & hormones

2 essential oils & hormones Essential oils contain volatile aromatic compounds which is a fancy way of saying: tiny organic molecules that serve a variety of protective, reproductive and regenerative purposes. I absolutely love essential oils, they have always been a passion of mine, but they became a core part of my life once I started using them in my self care routine. In conjunction with a number of other lifestyle changes (don t worry, I share more on this on my blog) I used essential oils when I was focusing on reducing my endometriosis symptoms to a more manageable level (not fainting, vomiting, writhing in pain). Scientific research is shedding light on the incredible power of essential oils to help promote overall wellness,. For us #EndoSisters, and in fact every perosn on this planet, essential oils can be so powerful as many of them possess a wide range of phytochemical properties.however when it comes to essential oils, not all are created equal, which is why I made this e-book to share my top 3 essential oils that I use in my self care routine. about me My name is Brittany, I am an #EndoBabe who has been treating my symptoms naturally for many years. My first period was one of the most awful days of my life, I had no idea what was going on, but I was in excruciating pain. That was the start of a series of miserable periods, hospital trips, vomiting, back pain, chronic fatigue and more. After years of using the pill to skip my period, having surgery and taking heavy pain killers, I decided to transition into a natural treatment self care routine and I ve never looked back. I have managed to reduce my endometriosis symptoms to a manageable level, and the vomiting, screaming in pain and fainting days are over. While I believe every person is different and the right treatment will differ from person to person, I am passionate about sharing natural healing modalities as I have seen just how much it can transform your life.

3 clary sage Clary Sage is a biennial or perennial herb, and it is my favourite oil that I use in my self care routine. Clary sage oil has a number of beneficial properties and it has been used throughout history to treat hormonal imbalances. I love to use this essential oil to help support me during times of premenstrual stress and anxiety. It s also the first oil I reach for during an endometriosis flare. I use the oil, diluted with fractionated coconut oil, to massage my pelvic region in a clockwise motion. I have found a huge amount of relief in the form of massage during an endometriosis flare. how I use clary sage oil Aromatherapy: Add 2 to 3 drops of clary sage oil to water and diffuse into the air via an essential oil burner. Bath: Combine 3 drops with Lavender oil and add to bath water. Topically: Add 3 drops of clary sage oil to 1 oz. (30ml) of carrier oil, such as fractionated coconut oil - I like to massage my pelvis and let the oil sink in. Additionally add 2 drops to a warm washcloth and place over forehead for several minutes. Internally: Add 1 drop of 100 percent essential oil to tea, smoothies, or food. WARNING: This recommendation is based specifically on doterra oils. Inhale: Add 2 drops to palms and breathe in.

4 ginger Ginger essential oil is derived from the fresh rhizome of the ginger plant. It s a go-to of mine when I am feeling bloated or sore. A component of ginger essential oil, called zingibain, is responsible for the oil s anti-inflammatory properties. A study conducted by researchers at Miami Veterans Affairs Medical Center and University of Miami found that when 261 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee took a ginger extract twice daily, they experienced less pain and needed fewer pain-killing medications than those who received the placebo. #EndoBabes, don t be mistaken, this is a powerful oil with many uses. I use ginger oil both internally an externally. I add a drop into warm water with lemon and honey each morning to fire up my digestion. I also dilute ginger oil with fractionated coconut oil and rub over my body when I am having an endometriosis flare to combat inflammation. how I use ginger oil Aromatherapy: Add 2 to 3 drops of ginger essential oil to water and diffuse into the air via an essential oil burner. Inhale: Add 2 drops to palms and breathe in. Internally: Add 1 drop to warm water with lemon, or add in 1-2 drops when cooking. Topically: Add 2 drops to a carrier oil and rub over inflamed area.

5 lavender For me one of the most debilitating aspects of endometriosis is premenstrual stress. I am constantly reaching for my lavender essential oil when I know I need to focus on reducing anxiety and getting a restful sleep. There are a number of studies on the calming nature of lavender oil. One crossover study involved 17 women, aged on average 20.6 years, with mild-to-moderate premenstrual symptoms found that lavender aromatherapy could help alleviate some premenstrual emotional symptoms. It s always on my bedside table to use before bed and when I have my period. I like to put lavender oil on my feet before bed and diffuse it in my bedroom as I am going to sleep. how I use lavender oil Aromatherapy: Add 2 to 3 drops of lavender oil to water and diffuse into the air via an essential oil burner. Internally: Add 1 drop of 100 percent essential oil with lemon and warm water. WARNING: This recommendation is based specifically on doterra oils. Lavender oil is also often used in cooking to flavour foods. Topically: Apply 1 to 2 drops diluted with fractionated coconut oil to bottom of feet before bedtime or massage onto skin. Inhale: Add 2 drops to palms and breathe in.

6 why I use doterra While essential oils can be incredibly powerful, not all essential oils are created equal.
