Aromatherapy For Menstrual Cramps

Most women experience painful menstrual cramps every month, along with backache, nausea and headaches. Essential oils help balance the hormones and give ample pain relief.


Disclaimer: I am not a practicing aromatherapist but love incorporating essential oils into my daily life. The following is based on my own research and experience. Always consult with a professional practitioner before trying any aromatherapy recipe as different people can react differently to different oils. Never use more than 5 drops in any of the following blends.



Essential Oils For Headaches: Vetiver, Valerian, Rosemary, Peppermint, Marjoram, Lavender, Geranium, Jasmine, Clary Sage, Geranium, Fennel, Roman Chamomile, Basil



Carrier Oils For Headaches: Coconut, Sweet Almond Oil, Evening Primrose, Grapeseed, Olive



Method & Dosage

Massage your lower back and abdomen in a clockwise motion, Apply when in pain and allow it to absorb into the skin. Do not wash it off.
