Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
Since I was 12 years old I have always had a horrible time during that time of the month. I would get cramps and back aches that would be so bad I would stay home from school and I never missed school for anything.
My periods are still just as bad, so I used the Dragon Time Massage Oil and rubbed a little on my lower abdomen and lower back. Within minutes my cramps were gone and so was my back ache.
Now when my period is at its peak and is really bad, I just reapply it every couple of hours for additional relief. I carry it with me in my purse and have it when I need it most.
