Massage Your Tummy with Essential Oils
Studies show that sim essential oils can help reduce period cramps when applied into the abdomen, especially when used in a blend of oils.
The following oils are the most effective at reducing period cramps include:
- Lavender
- Sage
- Rose
- Marjoram
- Cinnamon
- Clove
Before using essential oils, it would help to mix them with a carrier oil, such as jojoba oil or coconut oil. Carrier oils reduce cramps by safely “carrying” the essential oil into your skin and facilitate spreading of the oil over a large area. You may also have to do a patch test before rubbing essential oils to your skin, just to check for any allergy.
