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.


I occasionally experience cramping during my periods. However, the last one almost made me housebound for at least a day. I consult my essential oils reference book when I have an issue. I had tried the Dragon Time and Endoflex oil blends from Young Living, but still had severe cramping.

In desperation, I tried the Peace & Calming essential oil blend, even though it wasn't listed as an oil for use for my issue. Within minutes, it seemed that the pressure causing the cramps had lessened somewhat. I had definitely relaxed a little after applying the oil.

From this experience I have learned to try other oils, even if they aren't listed in the book, because my body may be needing something else. The same may be true for you.
