Lady Issues

Do you ever suffer from monthly lady issues? It seems like, at one time or another, each of us experiences this. 

I suffered from terrible cramps when I was a teenager. The kind that keep you in bed for a day. Now that I'm in my forties, they have lessened to almost nothing, most of the time. But there is the occasion month that keeps me humble. 

I am now one of 3 gals in my home that has to deal with "that time of the month," so there are many symptoms that we ALL deal with. 

Do you experience any of these:
Acne breakouts
Headaches and migraines
Lower back pain
Abdominal cramps
Moodiness
Emotional breakdowns
Nausea
Breast tenderness
Food cravings
Bloating

When I was young, the only things in my toolbox were a heating pad, sleep, and Aleve. I hadn't yet been introduced to the power of essential oils that are now at my fingertips. I'm so grateful that when my girls and I need help, I've got solutions, natural solutions.

If you or a girl you love is struggling with any of these, know that doTERRA products can help. And you can trust the ingredients. For overall hormonal health, I would suggest using ClaryCalm, our monthly blend, on the abdomen and taking the LifeLong Vitality pack everyday. These are foundational products that keep our bodies functioning (hormonally) at higher levels.
