The lack of serotonin that can exasperate feelings of sadness can also make you more likely to feel IRRITABLE, angry, and/or offended at certain times during your monthly cycle. Some women find themselves losing patience with themselves and others due to fluctuating hormone levels.
The Citrus Oils already recommended for promoting positive mood can be helpful for issues of irritability as well. Oils that come from trees and roots, and those that are considered emotionally grounding can help calm bad moods as well.
Applying the GROUNDING BLEND to the bottoms of the feet is a great way to start out any day, especially days when you know you may be more easily irritated.
