STAMP out Cramps, An Essential Oil Blend for PMS

Do you suffer from cramping, bloating, back pain, mood swings during your "time of the month?"   

I've found a blend of essential oils that is really working for me.

(My apologies to all the men-folk who might happen upon my blog....it's a sensitive topic, but hey, this is a fact of life that needs to be dealt with!)

This last month, I had horrible back pain instead of cramping.  That was a first for me.  It was very similar to the pain I have during labor and childbirth...just not to the same extent.  

 Thank goodness! :0)  But, very unpleasant, nonetheless!

 I went in search of my "trial" bottle that says PMS blend (I just added the Birch last month, but have used this blend for about 4-5 months.) and slathered it all over my lower back.  It was a very busy morning for me and about 15 minutes later I thought..."hmmmm...I don't have any more pain!"  

I like no pain!  How about you?? :)

Most times when using this blend I put it on my abdomen kinda in the pelvic area...just wherever there is pain/cramping and at night I put it on the bottoms of my feet.

Guess it's time to share this blend with you...now that I know it's working--at least for me.  So, give it a try!
