Here are my Top 5 Essential Oils for Hormonal Synergy 

Clary Sage: 

• Relief from symptoms from an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone. 
• Eases pain of menstrual cramps by relaxing smooth muscle, especially in combination with Lavender and Marjoram.
• Eases the pains and stress of childbirth and stimulates contractions 
• Studies have shown that simply inhaling Clary Sage dramatically reduces the body’s cortisol, our stress regulating hormone, as well as improving thyroid levels, thereby having an antidepressant effect on the body and enhancing overall mood.
• Allows for a restful nights sleep and eases any negative moods

Ylang Ylang:

• Aphrodisiac - diffuse at night!
• Calming aroma for body and mind
• Supports depression and mood swings

Bergamot

• Even serious stress-induced disorders, many caused by hormonal imbalance, can be positively impacted by Bergamot 
• By reducing the heart rate and blood pressure, bergamot has proved to lower the body’s stress responses, possibly linking it with a direct affect on adrenal glands 

Lavender 

• Calms irritated complexions
• Calms mind and body relieving stress and anxiety 
• Combine with peppermint to cool skin during menopause 
• Massage abdomen to ease menstrual cramps and balance emotions

Consistency equals Equilibrium 

Utilising these oils on a consistent basis ensures that you will be providing your body with natural solutions for hormonal balance. The best applications for these essential oils are aromatic and topical. When working with topical application, apply over the wrist, feet, back of neck and ovaries with a carrier oil.

Don’t expect them to work immediately or only when your symptoms are out of control. The key is to be proactive and let your body learn to balance itself with the help of essential oils. This, in combination with lifestyle modifications in diet and exercise, will allow your body to heal itself and find its own new balance in an ever changing world. Your mind, body and soul will soon re-align and you will see the world in a new way after reclaiming your equilibrium.
