Can I use essential oils during my period?

Menstruation is a relatively "fragile" stage for women, and it is also a process that women have to go through every month. This stage requires the most meticulous care. Many women want to know whether they can use essential oils during menstruation. Good menstrual care can allow us to spend a week smoothly and comfortably. Looking at the analysis below, we will know whether we should use essential oils during this stage?

Many female friends are very concerned about the relationship between essential oils and menstruation. Whether or not essential oils can be used during menstruation has always been a controversial topic. Some say "single essential oils cannot be used, but compound essential oils can", while others say: "During menstruation, no essential oils can be used." In fact, no matter whether it is a single or compound essential oil, even creams or shampoos with essential oils cannot be used.

The reason is that women's hormone levels change during menstruation, the pelvic cavity and uterus become congested, and the body's resistance decreases. Therefore, the use of essential oils can easily cause increased menstrual blood volume, prolonged menstrual period, etc. In particular, essential oils that have the effect of promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation, such as rose essential oil, are taboo during menstruation.

The best time to use essential oils is 7 days after the end of your period. If you use it 2-3 days after the end, it may cause your period to come again. Stop using it three days before the next period. Only by learning to use essential oils properly can we help our bodies and achieve the best goals.

What I need to tell you is that even if we don’t use essential oils during menstruation, we can also maintain our health in other ways. If soreness and pain occur, we can massage parts of the body to promote blood circulation, which can have a good health care effect and relieve the discomfort during menstruation. It is not necessary to use essential oils for massage.
