Dealing with PMS & "Aunt Rose"

Every month rolls along like clockwork and for us women, we get to deal with "that time of the month" Men steer clear, cuz it's not pretty! lol Since this is my blog and Im sharing my stories, Im going to tell you about dealing with PMS and "Aunt Rose"(as I like to call that time of the month ).

So Im not sure about every women out there, but having your period stinks! Your moody, hurting from all the cramping, and just plain tired! I know there are all sorts of other remedies that you can use to take care of this issue. Before essential oils I used over the counter pain meds. Sure they were fine, but how healthy were they for my body? Since I've dedicated myself to eating better and implementing the organic things into my life, I've truly felt healthy.

Here's an oil I would like to introduce to you.

CLARY SAGE

I personally take clary sage along with lemon in an empty veggie capsule whenever I feel the PMS coming on. During the first day that "Aunt Rose" comes to visit I take 2-4 capsules. I'll usually rub some clary sage on my tummy to help as well. Then as the days progress I use less capsules as the pain subsides. I've found that using clary sage has helped me with my pain during this time of the month. If you would like to try this, let me know. Its been fun dealing with things the organic way! :)

MOOD Management

How many of you have felt like this little girl?

I know I have! LOL Stress is a big problem in this world. We always feel like we need to be on the go-go! However, amidst the business of craziness like being a mom and taking care of of my wild child, being a wife of a student at BYU, writing/teaching music to make a living, there are a couple of friends that I've turned to everyday.

Meet my friend Lavender

Lavender is an ALL around Oil meaning its good for calming, soothing, & healing to a variety of ailments such as: Allergies, Bee Stings, Anxiety, Blisters, Boils, Burns, Cuts, Crying, Depression, Diabetic Sores, Fever, Exhaustion, Concentration, Dandruff, Diuretic, Grief/Sorrow, Hay Fever, Mood Swings, Insomnia, Poison Oak, Post Labor, Seizure, Dry Skin, Teething pain, Tension, Withdrawal, wrinkles, etc.

And meet my other friend, Balance...

I use Balance everyday, and it is fantastic! Its a grounding blend that includes:

1) Spruce: grounds the body, improves oxygen exchange, and helps release emotional blocks

2) Rosewood: soothing to the skin, relaxes the body, and creates a feeling of peace

3) Blue Tansy: calms the lymphatic system, promotes a feeling of self-control

4) Frankincense: contains sesquiterpenes, which help oxygenate the pineal and pituitary glands. Frankincense is one of the oldest, most valuable oils available to us today! It is amazing! Its a very healing oil!

These two oils have helped me tremendously in my mood management everyday! Just a couple drops on the feet and on the back of the neck and I'm feeling good! They are very valuable! Use what the earth provides and your body will heal itself! Just to let you readers know, Im here to offer you my heart felt service. Contact me if ever you would like a wellness consult. I would love to help heal your body and soul through a step by step process! Take control of your mood using essential oils, it's what affects your happiness :)
