Oils to Help with Menstrual Challenges

Lavender
If your period comes with anxiety and depression, lavender is the ideal choice. It is also traditionally used as a painkiller, and is an anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxer as well.*

Marjoram
An analgesic, marjoram essential oil dilates blood vessels, so is one of the best essential oils for menstrual cramps.* 

Sweet Fennel
Sweet fennel essential oil regulates menstrual cycles and helps those who struggle with hormone fluctuations.* Like lavender, fennel essential oil works as a muscle relaxer.* 

Clary Sage
Clary sage essential oil is great for the regulation of menstrual cycles, especially if you are irregular and struggle with painful periods.* 

Ginger
If your period experience includes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or other digestive issues due to cramping, ginger essential oil is one of the best for helping to soothe a queasy stomach.*

Blue Chamomile
Blue chamomile essential oil reduces inflammation and relieves pain while reducing depression.*

Thyme
In a recent study, women taking thyme essential oil reported less pain than women taking ibuprofen.* Traditionally used as a pain reliever!

Geranium
Geranium essential oil is great for those who have heavy periods and experience a large amount of bleeding, as it helps to regulate hormones.*
