Caressa is a hormone balancing blend of Lavender, Clary Sage, Peppermint & Geranium to help relieve symptoms of menopause.
Lavender promotes feelings of relaxation and positively affects mood and sleep. Many studies have concluded that using lavender aromatherapy, decreases menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes, headaches, and heart palpitations.
Clary Sage is considered a good tonic for regulating female hormones. Research has shown that inhaling Clary Sage oil helps lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels. During the onset of menopause, our estrogen levels start to decline, which is a major cause for many menopausal symptoms. It is the low estrogen levels that can lead to night sweats, hot flushes, headaches, fatigue, insomnia etc. Clary Sage contains a plant compound called sclareol which is said to act the same way that estrogen does, which is why it helps to relieve some of these symptoms.
Peppermint's cooling properties are not only effective at limiting hot flushes.

Women who inhaled lemon oil experienced less nausea and vomiting. Lemon is known to decrease the severity and frequency of nausea/vomiting and offers a very sweet dose of relief if you feel like your body is being consumed by nausea and sickness.
Peppermint not only reduces nausea and vomiting, it actually offers antiemetic and antispasmodic benefits for the gastric lining and colon. Research shows that diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloating, gas and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome can also be reduced when Peppermint oil is used several times per day.

It works well when used as an abdominal massage to relieve tightening menstrual cramps and uncomfortable tension. It is considered a good tonic for the womb and female functions in general.
