Introduction
Let’s be honest—PMS is real. It’s not “just in your head.”
From cramps to cravings, bloating to mood dips, your body goes through an intense shift every month.
And while over-the-counter pills offer temporary relief, natural support through essential oils can offer both comfort and emotional care—without side effects.
Blossence essential oils are here to hold space for your body, your feelings, and your rhythm.
💬 Understanding PMS & Menstrual Discomfort
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and menstrual symptoms include:
- Abdominal cramps
- Headaches
- Mood swings
- Breast tenderness
- Fatigue or insomnia
Most of these symptoms are connected to hormonal fluctuations, inflammation, and muscle contractions.
Essential oils help by:
- Relaxing muscles
- Reducing stress responses
- Improving sleep
- Balancing mood
🌬 How Aromatherapy Can Help
Aromatherapy works directly on the limbic system of your brain—helping regulate emotions, pain signals, and hormonal rhythms.
Certain oils also have analgesic (pain-relieving), anti-inflammatory, and calming properties that can soothe physical discomfort and mental overwhelm.
In short? They work gently, but deeply.
