DIY Essential Oil Blend for Menopause

Manage a crucial time in your life by using a diy essential oil blend for menopause.

Can Menopause Be Managed Naturally?

Menopause sucks. But it’s something all women have to go through in their middle ages, usually between 40 – 60 years of age. Menopause in medical terms refers to the complete stoppage of the month cycle or menstruation in women. While it sounds like a simple task, menopause comes with a whole set of signs, symptoms and features including:

Mood swings
Irritability
Hot flashes
Anxiety or depression
Fatigue, exhaustion
Heart palpitations
Acne
Memory loss
Insomnia or disturbed sleep
Weight gain, especially around the belly
Vaginal dryness
Lack of libido
Headaches or migraines
Hair loss and thinning of hair

Essential oils can do a whole lot in minimizing the signs and symptoms of menopause, and making the whole experience smoother and less aggravating. This essential oil blend is designed to uplift your mood, reduce common problems in menopause and improve the quality of your life.

What you need:

20 drops of lavender
20 drops of rosemary
20 drops of geranium
10 drops of roman chamomile
10 drops of peppermint
10 drops of ylang ylang
10 drops of rose otto

Directions:

In a clean glass bowl, begin by carefully dropping in each of your essential oils. Stir them very well using a tooth pick.
Now get a 10 ml glass vial bottle, and transfer the essential oils in the bowl using a pipette or sterile syringe.
This is a 100% concentrated blend that has not been diluted. It must be diluted before use. I prefer such ‘pure’ blends because it allows me to be versatile in the ways I use them. For example, I can use 10 drops of this blend in a diffuser, while I can use the same blend as a body lotion by pouring 5 drops of it into an unscented lotion. I can use the same blend for direct inhalation, while I can drop the same blend (20 drops) into a relaxing bath together with 1 cup of Epsom salts.
