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 started using Progessence Plus one month ago and have seen a great improvement in PMS symptoms that I would typically experience the week prior to my new cycle beginning.
I would typically experience drastic mood swings, cramping, and fatigue in the week prior to my period, as well as hot flashes throughout the month. (Note that I am not pre or post-menopausal but was experiencing hot flashes as a result of hormone imbalance after having children.)
Then during my period I would experience very heavy bleeding, bad cramping (sometimes to the point of experiencing diarrhea), and blood clots. And then I would have several days of brown spotting after 2 days of heavy bleeding.
According to my doctor, these are all classic signs of low progesterone, even though my hormone panel did not reveal low progesterone levels.
I began applying Progessence Plus to my carotid artery (left side of neck) in the evening. Then a couple of days later I increased the dose to twice a day (morning and night) after no negative side effects appeared.
I then started applying the Progessence Plus to my forearm as well, both morning and night. Finally I started just applying it to my right ankle, since I found that I needed to apply other essential oils to my neck area and didn't want to have to mix these oils (since I prefer smelling the other essential oils I apply closer to my nose).
It was a process of learning what would work best for me. After just 3 weeks of using Progessence Plus, I had NO mood swings in the week prior to my period. I also experienced moderate bleeding instead of the heavy bleeding like before (which would require both a tampon and a pad for a couple of days when my period started).
I have also only had one night of bad hot flashes, which I feel like was a fluke, given that I have not had any other episodes of hot flashes the rest of the month. I still experienced brown spotting and hope to see this go away as well after another month of using the Progessence Plus serum.

| 1. | Associated topics: breathing-/-inhale — "In confirming the presence of peripheral airways dysfunction in nonsmokers with uncomplicated common colds, our data imply that the changes can be modified favorably by short-term aromatics inhalation." | Link |
| 2. | Associated topics: mood-swings,menstruation-/-period,premenstrual-syndrome-(PMS),menstrual-cramps — "The present study indicated that lavender aromatherapy as a potential therapeutic modality could alleviate premenstrual emotional symptoms, which, at least in part, is attributable to the improvement of parasympathetic nervous system activity. This study further implies that HRV could evaluate the efficacy of aromatherapy using various fragrances to relieve premenstrual symptoms, and ultimately, support the mind and body health of women." | Link |
| 3. | Associated topics: hormones — "Therapy with beta-caryophyllene [present in many essential oils] may present a promising novel, non-toxic therapeutic option for patients with endometriosis." | Link |
| 4. | Associated topics: breathing-/-inhale — "Cineole has mucolytic, bronchodilating and anti-inflammatory properties and reduces the exacerbation rate in patients suffering from COPD, as well as ameliorates symptoms in patients suffering from asthma and rhinosinusitis.... The effects of Cineole in the treatment of acute bronchitis were clearly measurable and could be proven after a treatment period of merely 4 days. This study corroborates the fact that Cineole actively and significantly reduces cough frequency after four days." | Link |

| 6. | Associated topics: fatigue — "Lavender, mint [peppermint], orange, rose, chamomile, rosemary, and sage were used.... Depression levels in the touch-music-aroma therapy group... showed a larger decrease than in the... control groups [that did not include aromatherapy].... [FMS] symptoms such as restless sleep, headache, morning fatigue, exhaustion, feeling like crying, and bowel complaints were also significantly reduced." | Link |
| 7. | Associated topics: menstruation-/-period,premenstrual-syndrome-(PMS),menstrual-cramps — "Peppermint oil is harmless and acts locally to inhibit GI [gastrointestinal] smooth muscle contraction.... Peppermint oil solution administered intraluminally can be used as an antispasmodic agent with superior efficacy and fewer side effects than hyoscine-N-butylbromide...." | Link |
| 8. | Associated topics: hormones,progesterone — "DHEA [a component of PD 80/20], an androstene hormone [precursor to estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, cortisone, and other hormones], has been shown to possess a wide range of beneficial biological effects mainly attributed to immune system modulation.... thus leading to beneficial effects in diverse human diseases including resistance to infection, neuroprotection, wound healing, diabetes, hepatic injury, cardiovascular disease, and cancer." | Link |
