When ABDOMINAL DISCOMFORT is part of a woman’s monthly cycle, it usually occurs during Menstrual Week, although some women experience it around the time of ovulation or during their Premenstrual Week.
These uterine contractions are caused by something called prostaglandins, which rise during certain points in your cycle. This process is helpful for the shedding of the endometrial lining, but it can also come with some discomfort.
There are many ways to help relieve this discomfort naturally, including:
• Eating a diet low in saturated fats.
• Drinking herbal tea.
• Covering the abdominal area with a hot water bottle or heating pad.
• Drinking plenty of water and getting light exercise.
• Making sure your body gets the ideal amount of Omega-3s.
You can also apply soothing Essential Oils to your abdomen, either diluted with Fractionated Coconut Oil (or carrier oil of your choice) or mixed with unscented lotion. There are many Essential Oils and oil blends that provide a soothing sensation for muscles, joints, and skin. Some include:
• Monthly Blend for Women
• Clary Sage
• Lavender
• Roman Chamomile
• Marjoram
• Massage Blend
• Basil
• Bergamot
• Cedarwood
• Cyprus
• Frankincense
• Ylang Ylang
• Geranium
• Rose
For a tummy massage, try mixing a couple drops of your favorite soothing Essential Oils with the Spa Hand and Body Lotion. This lotion is unscented and does not contain Essential Oils, which makes it a perfect choice for a massage. It contains the moisturizing properties of Jojoba, Sunflower, and Macadamia Seed Oils and will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. It absorbs quickly and feels non-greasy.
You can use your favorite soothing combination. If you’re not sure where to start, try one of these combinations:
One teaspoon Spa Hand and Body Lotion plus
• 1 drop Frankincense Essential Oil
• 1 drop Clary Sage Essential Oil
• 1 drop Lavender Essential Oil
One teaspoon Spa Hand and Body Lotion plus
• 2 drops Lavender Essential Oil
• 1 drop Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
• 1 drop Geranium Essential Oil
One teaspoon Spa Hand and Body Lotion plus
• 2 drops Monthly Blend for Women
• 2 drops Massage Blend
Another type of abdominal discomfort has to do a tummy trouble: bloating, gas, and indigestion. Whether you indulged a little too much in a sugary food craving or your hormones are making you feel out of whack in the appetite department, the DIGESTIVE BLEND can help soothe upset stomach issues.
The DIGESTIVE BLEND smells spicy and minty and includes the tummy taming Essential Oils of Peppermint, Fennel, Ginger, Anise, Tarragon, Caraway, and Coriander.
