HOW TO USE THE ESSENTIAL OILS FOR PMS RELIEF
One of the most popular and effective ways to use the essential oils for PMS Relief is to place 6 drops of essential oil in a hot bath. This is a particular efficient method because while inhaling the steam off the water, the woman is actually soaking in the bath and receiving the benefits through the skin. For best results, start using this method a few days before the expected PMS symptoms start to prevent them from occurring.

Another method of PMS relief from essential oils is to combine the oils in a tub of unscented moisturiser and use as a body lotion. Not only will this make your skin look smooth and scented but it will also provide relief from PMS.

If you only wish to smell the oils, you can either use a diffuser, or put the oils on a tissue and inhale or place in a bowl of hot water. Alternatively, you can put the oils in a small vial and carry around with you to smell when necessary.

Do not use excessive amounts of essential oils and do not use internally without the advise of an Aroma therapist.
