Botanical Delights PCOS Balance is a powerful tool in your PCOS toolbox. While upgraded diet, lifestyle and mindset are the pillars of thriving with PCOS, essential oils can help to alleviate individual symptoms. If used correctly, they are safe to use every day to help reset abnormal patterns, and they are especially beneficial when trying to balance hormones and insulin levels.
Hormones, those special chemical messengers in your body, are created by the endocrine glands, which control most bodily functions that range from basic things like hunger and metabolism, to more complex processes, like reproduction, emotions and mood.
Plants (and oils derived from plants) are powerful tools. The essential oils can have a strong effect on the limbic system. In this way, they help to restore hormonal balance, release emotional stress and impart the feeling of relaxation and well being.
Also, women with PCOS are particularly sensitive to endocrine disrupting chemicals. These EDCs are present in many medications, household products, make-up, our food, water, and the list goes on. Any opportunity we have to avoid these hormone disruptors should be taken. Essential oils make terrific replacements for endocrine disrupting chemicals in many household products.
Use: Massage a little into your neck, abdomen and behind your ears twice a day or as needed. Cup hands over nose and breathe deeply for 5 full breaths.
