Aromatherapy for PMS

If you want to try aromatherapy for PMS, single essential oils that might be useful are clary sage, sage, anise, fennel, ylang ylang, neroli, and bergamot.

For a PMS massage, Aromatherapy for Dummies recommends

10 drops geranium oil
6 drops chamomile oil
3 drops clary sage oil
3 drops angelica oil

Blend the oils and use for either self-massage or massage from a friend or professional.

For a relaxing PMS relief bath, Pure Scents for Well Being recommends blending the following essential oils with one teaspoon of oil or milk and adding the blend to your bath:
