Les bienfaits du massage des seins

While nature remains difficult to control, there are solutions to induce menstruation and regulate it over the long term. Among them, essential oils have proved their worth. In this article, you'll discover which essential oils are best suited to trigger menstruation and how they work. Then we'll look at how to use essential oils safely and effectively.

The best essential oils for triggering menstruation

Irregular periods or the absence of periods (amenorrhea) are often the result of hormonal imbalance. Stress and nervousness influence the production of female hormones, which can delay menstruation. But you may also wish to have your period earlier if your cycles are perfectly regular. In all cases, essential oils are a good option, especially if you want to avoid taking hormone treatments or medication. To understand how essential oils work, it's essential to understand how the menstrual cycle works. In the first few days after menstruation, the uterine lining gradually replenishes itself to support the eventual development of an ovum. After ovulation, if fertilization has not occurred, estrogen levels fall, while another hormone, progesterone, is produced in greater quantities (this is known as the luteal phase). Hormones therefore play an essential role in regulating the menstrual cycle. It is therefore essential to choose essential oils capable of acting directly on hormone production:

  • Clary sage: clary sage essential oil should not be confused with sage officinale. It is indicated in cases of hormonal imbalance. Thanks to its "estrogen-like" action, i.e. similar to that of estrogenic hormones, it helps to regulate menstrual cycles and prevent delayed periods. It also promotes relaxation and well-being, essential conditions for hormonal regulation.
  • Niaouli: behind the exotic name of this essential oil lies a tree native to Australia and New Caledonia. Like clary sage essential oil, niaouli promotes estrogenic influence and, in so doing, regulates female cycles.
  • Petit grain: both antispasmodic and calming, petit grain essential oil has a beneficial effect on the nervous system. It helps eliminate tension and reduce stress. It is therefore effective in preventing delayed menstruation due to nervousness.
  • Cumin: cumin essential oil stimulates progesterone production. It is therefore of interest to women suffering from a deficiency of this hormone. The essential oil helps trigger menstruation more quickly and limits bleeding outside the period (metrorrhagia).

How can I use essential oils to bring on my period more quickly?

Clary sage, niaouli, petit grain and cumin essential oils can be used in a variety of ways. For topical application, they should always be diluted in a vegetable oil. They can also be ingested (place one to three drops on a neutral tablet).

Due to their hormonal activity, which is harmful to the foetus, clary sage, niaouli and cumin essential oils should not be used by pregnant women. They are also not recommended for breast-feeding mothers or children. Petitgrain essential oil should be avoided during the first trimester of pregnancy.
