The following TOP 10 Women’s Oils offer something special that women often need. Each oil is unique in its benefits!

1. Clary Sage

• anti-depressant
• soothing properties
• beneficial during women’s menstrual cycles and mood swings, eases discomfort

You can add a few drops into an Epsom-salt bath or, if the oil is labeled safe for topical use, you can massage a few drops directly onto your abdomen to ease cramps and discomfort.

2. Lemon

• energizing and de-stressing properties
• wonderful for cleaning and cooking

I add a drop of lemon essential oil into a glass of cold water each day. It is so refreshing, and I believe it is the reason I have been able to stay so healthy the last few months.

3. Lavender

• reduces stress and calms nerves
• helps with sleeping problems
• aids with skin irritations

This is probably the most-used oil in our home. We diffuse it aromatically before bedtime, add it to our baths, and apply it to the soles of our feet before bed.

4. Geranium

Add a drop to your facial or body moisturizer, and to your shampoo or conditioner to help balance oil production and moisturize your skin.

5. Basil

Apply directly to an insect bite or sting, and if you are feeling sore from an extra hard workout, add a few drops into a massage oil and massage tired muscles.

• invigorating, mood lifter

Add a few drops into your body scrub and feel refreshed and awake as you step out of the shower each day.
