The harm of essential oil massage during menstruation

During menstruation, girls should pay attention to the care of their bodies. If they are not careful, it may cause physical infection and lead to irregular menstruation. During menstruation, many girls like to do essential oil massage because it can relieve physical fatigue. However, doctors do not recommend that girls get massages during menstruation because it will slow down the body's recovery. So, what are the dangers of essential oil massage during menstruation?

Myth 1: Essential oils are just beauty products

Many consumers believe that essential oils are just a kind of purely natural skin or body care product, and that they can whiten, remove wrinkles, lose weight, enlarge breasts, etc.

But in fact, the benefits of essential oils are far more than that! Essential oils help the skin from the inside out, extending from the health of the mind to the health of the body, and then to the health and beauty of the skin. This is something that no expensive skin care products can do.

Myth 2: You can’t use essential oils during your menstrual period

In fact, essential oils have a very significant effect on skin conditioning and mental relaxation during menstruation, because essential oils can not only treat organ discomfort, but even better, they can also take care of emotional problems.

For example, essential oils such as cypress, geranium, and ginger are very good for menstrual period conditioning. For several common symptoms, the formula of essential oils is as follows:

● Dull skin color, irregular menstrual period: Rose + Cypress + Geranium

● Pale skin color, reduced menstrual flow: Perilla + Cypress + Geranium

●Dry skin, severe dysmenorrhea: lavender + ginger + rosemary

Myth 3: Taking essential oils orally is more effective for beauty

Not only can you not take essential oils orally, you can't also use pure essential oils directly. Because pure essential oils have a very high concentration, they are absolutely not allowed to come into direct contact with the skin (with the exception of tea tree and lavender essential oils). They must be diluted before use.

Therefore, the essential oils used for massage or skin care must be diluted and formulated compound essential oils, and compound essential oils can only be used directly on the skin.

Myth 4: Essential oils can be added to facial creams

Adding essential oils to facial cream on your own initiative will result in a bottle of good facial cream going bad! The oil and water will separate! The taste will be wrong!

What is the reason? The problem lies in the cream. Since essential oils are purely natural and plant-based, they will react if they encounter chemically synthesized substances or artificial flavors, causing the above phenomenon. Therefore, when you mix your own facial cream, you should choose facial cream products that also contain natural ingredients.

Myth 5: The more often and in what amounts you use essential oils, the better

Essential oil lovers often make the beauty mistake of using too much of it on their bodies, which can actually backfire.

Essential oils are pure natural substances. Due to their high concentration, even after dilution, the more intensive the use is not necessarily better. Using them in moderation will allow the essential oils to exert their great effects, while using too much will burden the kidneys and make your body feel uncomfortable.
