Sorry, looks like we don't have enough of this product.
Do you know that feeling? You're lying in bed, everything is quiet, but your body just can't find peace. You toss and turn. The day was tiring, you long for sleep—and yet it doesn't come. Especially during times of hormonal change, your body can resist its own desire for rest. Exactly when you need it most.
Essential oils such as clary sage, lemon balm, or fine lavender can accompany us during periods of hormonal imbalance and help us find peace.
When hormones control sleep
When hormone levels rise or fall, many women notice more or less serious effects on their night's sleep. During menopause, problems with temperature regulation due to changes in estrogen and progesterone levels also prevent many women from sleeping through the night. Painful menstruation is another typical female complaint that makes restful sleep difficult. Sleep disorders in turn lead to fluctuations in hormone levels—a vicious cycle.
Studies show that women have an increased risk of sleep disorders.
Essential oils are secondary plant substances, some of which are closely related to the body's own hormones. They affect our body through the skin and the sense of smell. When inhaled, their scent molecules reach the olfactory mucosa, where they encounter millions of olfactory cells and cilia. There, they are converted into an electrical impulse that is transmitted to the limbic system.
The limbic system is a very important regulatory system in our brain that is beyond our conscious control. It is the area where we develop emotions, and at the same time it houses the control centers for the autonomic nervous system (responsible for bodily functions such as breathing and the sleep-wake cycle) and the production of neurotransmitters and hormones. The sense of smell is closely linked to the limbic system – and selected essential oils can exert their balancing properties on our sex and stress hormones, regeneration and relaxation processes in this way.
Essential oils are described as hormone-modulating if they have balancing and regulating properties on our body's own messenger substances and also support their interaction. That is why selected, often traditional medicinal plants for women can be very beneficial for our hormonal balance. But certain essential oils with pain-relieving and antispasmodic properties can also promote women's health and well-being on certain days – and thus also improve sleep.
The ability to select individual essential oils and AromaCare products is one of the many benefits of aromatherapy for women. For example, menstrual pain can be compounded by a busy schedule or exam stress. Poor sleep often has many aspects that can be addressed with aromatherapy.
Which oils can aid you during hormonal phases
How to integrate essential oils into your evening routine
Evening ritual "Put the world on pause"
Women take on many responsibilities, feel responsible for everything, and their minds are constantly spinning with thoughts about relationships, family, and work. Prepare a warm bubble bath (5-8 drops, e.g., 4 drops of lavender, 2 drops of bergamot) or foot bath (3-4 drops) with essential oils (see above) or the Mood uplifting aroma blend, emulsified in 1-3 tablespoons of DIY bubble base, coffee cream, or sea salt. Retreat to your bathroom and imagine pressing pause on the world.
For a relaxing oil compress, mix 30 ml jojoba oil with 3 drops organic melissa, 1 drop fine lavender, 1 drop sweet orange, and 1 drop vanilla extract. Apply half of the oil mixture to a cotton cloth or gauze compress and place the oil-soaked side on the desired area of the body. Cover with a cozy blanket and secure if necessary so that it stays in place overnight. Lie down comfortably, preferably with a pillow under your knees, and leave the compress on for as long as it feels good.
Place the Womanhood Clary Sage Heat Stop spray next to your bed. Spray 2–3 pumps of Heat Stop spray directly onto the skin as needed, on the face, neck, décolleté, crooks of the arms, or legs.
Depending on the individual cause, holistic measures and aromatherapy rituals can be beneficial. Soothing rituals take the pressure off our busy everyday lives, signal to those around us that we need a break, and simply do us good because they give us space for our physical and mental well-being.
You are not alone with your challenges. Your body achieves great things every day—especially during times of hormonal change. Perhaps you should allow yourself to pause more often and pamper yourself with a little ritual.
