Essential oil massage can relieve menstrual discomfort

Scientific researchers have found that if women before menstruation perform 15 minutes of essential oil massage every day, various discomforts during menstruation will be reduced by 50%.

Gently massaging the abdomen with anti-spasmodic essential oils can usually resolve menstrual cramps quickly. In addition to reducing physical pain, essential oils can also take care of emotional problems.

The top three essential oils with the best antispasmodic effects are marjoram, lavender and chamomile. Several antispasmodic essential oils also have memenorrogenic properties, meaning they can normalize the menstrual cycle or increase menstrual blood flow.

Women with normal or high menstrual blood flow should avoid using this type of essential oil to treat dysmenorrhea to avoid mistakenly increasing menstrual blood flow. Such essential oils include clary sage, myrrh and sage, but others such as basil, juniper, fennel and rosemary may also have similar benefits.

Some women always have extremely heavy menstrual blood flow, which makes them very troubled. Cypress, geranium or rose essential oils all have the ability to regulate menstrual blood flow. All kinds of menstrual problems are very suitable to be treated with rose essential oil, because it will not directly increase or decrease the amount of menstrual blood or even change the menstrual cycle. On the contrary, it can adjust the menstrual cycle and also has the effect of regulating the uterus.

At the same time, dysmenorrhea is sometimes accompanied by constipation. The following essential oils can be used: chamomile, cypress, geranium, lavender, sage, peppermint, marjoram, rose, and rosemary.
