5. Lavender Oil: Aromatic Soothing for the Searing Pain
Lavender, often associated with calm and relaxation, holds secrets beyond its pleasant aroma. Lavender oil, distilled from the plant’s small purple flowers, can be a boon for those seeking relief from BMS. This essential oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, making it a potent ally against the fiery sensations.
When you think of lavender, perhaps a serene field dotted with purple comes to mind. Imagine harnessing that serenity and introducing it to the chaos of BMS. That’s what lavender oil aims to achieve. By diluting it with a carrier oil and applying it to the affected areas, the sensation of burning begins to wane, replaced by a soothing calm.
It’s essential to ensure proper dilution, as using essential oils in their concentrated form can be too potent and might exacerbate the situation. A few drops mixed with a carrier oil like coconut or almond oil can create a perfect blend. (5)
