Massage Oil for PMS

Use this PMS-relief massage oil as often as you desire. You can use it in massage treatments or apply a small amount after bathing as an all-over body moisturizer. You can also use essential oils in baths to ease PMS discomfort. Add four drops of clary sage or rose geranium and eight drops of lavender essential oils to a bathtub of comfortably warm water. Soak for 20 minutes, allowing yourself time to deeply relax and to enjoy the benefits of the essential oils on your body and your mind.

2 ounces almond oil
8 drops clary sage essential oil
16 drops lavender essential oil
� teaspoon vitamin E oil

Mix oils together, shake well, and store in a tightly capped dark-glass bottle in a cool, dark place

When would you recommend that I start using the mix? My PMS is awful lately, since I had my kid, and I get very stressed. It'd be nice to have something help.

This sounds like a great mixture. Satin&Lace, you could probably use it just about any time of the month. If you have a small child, it probably isn't just PMS that's stressing you out!

This isn't about aromatherapy, but vitamin B is also great for stress. You should be taking a B-Complex every day and make sure you go for a walk or something.

Geranium Essential OIl is the best aromatherapy cure I have found for me. You can put a couple drops in your shower in the morning (plug the shower), you can burn it in an aromatherapy burner, you can massage it on with a carrier (oil or any cream).

It smells great and helps take the edge off!

Satin and Lace I know just what you mean about EVERYTHING being a little more intense since having children!!
