Scents for feelings to soothe the hormones

Looking back to last weeks feelings I will bring back to mind the various emotions that we women go through with the  PMS. There can be anxiety, irritation, rage, weepiness, lack of sexual drive, need to be alone, need for silence etc. It is exhausting to control these feelings and when the control fails they can be baffling and cause unexpected situations ant home and at work.

The symptoms of  PMS have similar effect in our body as do stress. When women are stressed their limbic area in the brain is activated. This is the area of the brain that is linked with our sense of smell and we can use beautiful aromas to soothe our emotions.  Try how a scent or smell that you like very much will lift, calm, refresh, soothe or clear you mind, depending on the origin of the aroma that you have chosen.

Everyone of us have our very own specific scent map, that has developed during our lifetime from the aromas that we have met and the experiences linked with them, both good and bad. Thus smells evoke feelings in us even if we do not remember the origin of the smell.

In the tree  products related to the female hormonal cycle in Lady Grace wellness range I have built the total scent like a precious perfume to influence the emotions though the sense of smell.
In  each product every essential oil gives its character and hue to the aroma and influence on you.
  
As an example of the many different effects of the essential oils let’s look at the  PMS lotion.;
The orange blossom is “cool”. Its purpose in this is to clear thinking. Francinsense is warm and arid. It calms the mind by deepening the breath, It is a really old and valuable substance which is still used in the insences of the catholic and orthodox churches.A finnish saying informs that juniper cures all ills. It is like blue light that brightens and cleanses. Dr. Bach, the developer of the Bach flower remedies, says that pine helps to let go of guilt. There is strength and antiseptic power in the aroma. Peppermint picks you up and the sharp lemony scent of May chang will awaken joy. Finally Ylang ylang which has a reputation reducing the feeling of anxiety and anger.

Spread them onto your chest and throat first for your body to warm them and lift the aromas to you nostrils to ease your feelings.
