let's get personal today.
so, i was blessed not to have a menstruation cycle for a very long time (due to pregnancy + breastfeeding). but when it came back, it came back in full force...worse than anything i've ever experienced before. bloating, cramping, mood swings, sensitive skin, + a flow like no other.
i was able to ease some of hardship from these symptoms with lavender, namely the bloating + cramping, by rubbing a couple drops on my lower abdomen.
i also stayed away from sweets + chocolate. i found that they made it worse, even to the point of diarrhea (tmi, i know).
inhaling joy would help lift my mood, too. goodness knows that i definitely need that these days.
isn't it great how lavender really is the "swiss army knife" of essential oils?
