Menstrual Cramps Synergy #2
Ingredients:
1/2oz. carrier oil
3 drops eucalyptus essential oil
4 drops juniper essential oil
1 drop jasmine absolute
Notes: This is a simple oil I blended at my mother-in-laws when on a visit. I had awful cramps that encompassed my lower back, abdomen, and down my legs to my knees. I gentley massaged some of this oil blend into my lower back and abdomen. What was left on my hands I massaged in working especially on the outside of the thumb down to the wrist on both hands--I did this for about 10-15 minutes. This particular area on the hand is known as the Spine Reflex area in Reflexology. Be it the massage or the oil, I was back to normal in about 40 minutes!
Directions: To make the oil, measure your carrier and add the essential oils indicated in the amounts listed. This bottle has lasted me through 3 cycles and also seems to prevent if I use it when I feel the first pangs of cramps. It also smells wonderful and I have used it as perfume!!!!
Precautions: Familiarize yourself with the safe use of essential oils before trying any recipe or essential oils. The Safety Information page is a good place to start, but you should also check with a reputable aromatherapy book and your doctor regarding the safety of each ingredient before using any recipe or synergy.
