The four essential oils in A Woman's Balance are known to be a woman's best friends. Bergamot is one of the most emotionally uplifting essential oils, which women have been using for centuries to counteract seasonal depression due to lack of sunlight. One of the most troubling symptoms of premenstrual syndrome is a sudden emotional disturbance due to the drop in estrogen, which immediately precedes that "time of the month." The mildly euphoric scent of Bergamot helps to counteract monthly depression and maintain positive energy levels. Rose Geranium is chemically composed as if it was tailor-made for the woman's physiology. It balances the female hormones, calms the nervous system and, like Bergamot, lifts depression. Perhaps it is no coincidence that its universally adored rosy scent has traditionally been a staple in women's perfumes. The sweet and soothingly herbal scent of Clary Sage is considered the number one oil for women to support them throughout every stage of life. At the onset of puberty, Clary Sage helps balance hormones, ensuring that the menstrual periods are neither scanty nor excessive, and that cramping and other symptoms of discomfort are soothed. After easing childbirth, it then helps nursing mothers produce breast milk. Finally, in menopause, Clary Sage is again the heroine, preventing and reducing hot flashes, tension and mood swings. Another unique feature of Clary Sage is that it is mildly euphoric. Roman Chamomile has a clean, sweet, fresh aroma that perfectly blends with Clary Sage as if the two were cousins. Roman Chamomile is a premium oil for calming and reducing spasms of all kinds. Just to give a sense of the potency of this demure and gentle-smelling oil, it is best known for stopping asthma attacks by smoothing the muscles of the chest and back. Added to this blend, Roman Chamomile ensures relief from any type of abdominal pain or even a menstruation-related migraine.
