Hormones play a big role in the way our bodies behave. If you’re feeling a bit imbalanced (especially if it’s that time of the month), these oils can help support the bodily systems that influence and control hormones:
Clary Sage - Research has demonstrate that inhaling clary sage (aka salvia sclarea) can lower cortisone levels (a stress hormone) by 36% as well as improve the levels of your thyroid hormones.
Lavender - A classic. Use it to help induce sleep or calm the mind. The smell of lavender helps to whisk away stress and anxiety while helping your body rebalance emotions.
Ylang-ylang - This scent can reduce blood pressure by calming stress levels. It’s also been said to boost the libido!
Bergamot - This oil has the ability to uplift and calm simultaneously. It’s a main ingredient in many perfumes for a good reason!
Thyme - Thyme oil is well known for its ability to support a healthy immune system. Studies have also shown that it can aid in the balancing of progesterone levels.
For best results, keep these oils handy for use in baths, soaks, diffusers, or apply directly to the skin on pressure points (like your wrists and the back of your ears). You can also just keep a few bottles on your desk or in your purse to sniff and uplift on the go!
