There are many essential oils that are highly effective at treating women’s health issues such as pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), menopause and hormone imbalances. In this blog post I will be sharing with you five essential oils that we use within our aromatherapy treatments which are beneficial to the overall wellbeing of women.
Geranium
Geranium essential oil has an uplifting and balancing effect on the mind and body. This oil is very beneficial for conditions such as the female menstrual cycle and menopause; its anti-depressant and calming properties help ease mood swings as well thereby improving one’s sense of wellbeing. Geranium essential oil can also help to relieve the symptoms of stress and anxiety.
Chamomile
Chamomile oil is useful in relieving symptoms of PMS and also has a calming effect on the mind and body.
Rosemary
Rosemary oil can reduce water retention during menstruation and therefore ease discomfort caused by bloating.
Clary Sage
Clary Sage essential oil is useful in treating mood swings and can help with relieving cramping during menstruation. It can also help relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, palpitations and irritability.
Ylang ylang
Ylang ylang essential oil is known for its anti-depressant, balancing and sedative properties which can help with PMS mood swings. This essential oil can also help reduce cramping.
The five essential oils which I have discussed are just some of the many essential oils that can help with your overall wellbeing. At Moreton Place Beauty & Wellbeing, following a consultation I will choose the appropriate oils based on your individual needs.
You may wish to use aromatherapy as a treatment to help improve symptoms solely associated with women’s health or you may want assistance with improving other conditions too. The great thing about aromatherapy is that essential oils have many therapeutic benefits which can provide relief from multiple physical and mental conditions. However, to achieve the best possible results with aromatherapy I highly recommend booking a course of four treatments.
I look forward to seeing you soon for your aromatherapy treatment.
