Hormone Help Using Essential Oils

I recently made up a couple of essential oil blends to help with my hormonal issues.  Any woman in their 40’s knows what I mean when I mention hormone issues.  So far these blends have proven effective for me and my needs and I wanted to share them on my blog.

Hormone Balance Blend from Kimberlees Korner
Hormone Balance Blend using Geranium – 20 drops, Clary Sage – 14 drops, Palmarosa – 8 drops – in a base of jojoba or grapeseed oil

The first blend is an oil that I have been using topically in the morning and at bedtime on my neck, lower abdominal area and on my spine and sometimes my feet – the inner side (like the arch area) which is the reflex point for the spine.  I call the blend Hormone Balance – as you can see from my lovely handmade masking tape label in the above photo – it is getting kind of worn out after using it for the past month.

Here is the blend:

  • Geranium essential oil – 20 drops
  • Clary Sage essential oil – 14 drops
  • Palmarosa essential oil – 8 drops
  • Jojoba oil or grapeseed oil – 4 tsp

Blend all of the above listed oils in an empty 15 ml bottle  – shake lightly before each use.  Use 2 to 3 times a day on abdominal area, lower back, spine, neck, wrists and feet.   Note:  all oils used are Young Living essential oils – those are the kind I prefer to use due to their therapeutic qualities.  Also – I do not use the reducer dropper on the bottle – I just pour the oil onto my palm from the bottle.

I actually think this blend has a better and stronger scent to it if you use the jojoba oil but I have also used the grapeseed.  I like the fact that this blend works to help my hormones and it also smells nice – I had it on the other day and a friend of mine commented that I smelled good.  Some blends I have made up do not always smell so great but I use them for therapeutic purposes – not always to smell great.  It is nice that this one has a pleasant scent.

The other blend I made up about two weeks ago is a spray.  The spray can be used on your body, clothes, in the air in a room or on your bed linens or a pillow.  I am calling the spray Hormone Happy Spray.  In a 4 oz. glass bottle combine:

  • Geranium essential oil – 8 drops
  • Clary Sage essential oil – 6 drops
  • Elemi essential oil – 3 drops
  • Fennel essential oil – 2 drops
  • Add 1 tsp witch hazel and top off with filtered water

Again, I have my really fancy hand written masking tape label.  I am constantly changing blends or using the bottle for other things when one runs out so I hate to invest in printing labels – also those seem harder to get off the bottle and the masking tape comes right off.  This is just for my personal use anyhow so it is fine for my needs.  Again all the oils used in this blend are also Young Living.

These two blends seem to be providing me some relief from some hormonal imbalances I have been experiencing – the joys of getting older!  Please note that I am not a doctor and I am just sharing with you what has helped me.  Everyone is different and sometimes you have to try some different oils or blends to figure out what will work for you and your body.

Sclar Essence Essential Oil form Young Living

Young Living also makes some of their own blends like Dragon Time, Lady Sclareol, and Sclar Essence that also help with female hormone issues.  I have tried Sclar Essence and it also works well but I think my new blend is working better for my needs at the moment.  Sclar Essence is a blend of clary sage, spanish sage, peppermint and fennel and it has a pleasant scent.  It can be applied topically, diffused and also be ingested –  I have drank it as a tea.

I have recently ordered Lady Sclareol and I will write more about that one after I have tried it out for a while.  I like to use things for a little while before I decide if I like them or if they are working for me.
