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!

Stamp Out Cramps

1 drop Birch essential oil

3 drops Clary Sage essential oil

For a particularly painful time...try rubbing these oils into the abdomen/pelvic area and then lying down with a warm towel or heating pad on top.

Birch helps with the pain of cramping
