Introducing Balance: A Lifestyle Blend for Menopause, PMS, and Emotional Well-Being

Hasnaa Hyder | 03 December

Life is full of transitions, each with its own set of challenges and opportunities for growth. 

Zea Essentials’ Balance Lifestyle Blend is crafted to support you through these changes, from the hormonal shifts of menopause and PMS to moments of emotional imbalance and the need for a calm, harmonious space. With a harmonious mix of carefully selected Essential Oils, this blend is designed to help balance the mind, body, and soul, creating a nurturing environment that promotes calm and emotional stability.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

Let’s explore Balance’s key ingredients and their natural benefits.

Lavender

Lavender Essential Oil is renowned for its ability to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal changes, such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Its calming properties may help reduce fatigue and hot flashes while enhancing sleep quality. Beyond menopause, Lavender is ideal for creating a restful environment and soothing tension during moments of stress, offering emotional ease for all stages of life.

Cedarwood

Cedarwood Essential Oil offers grounding and calming properties. Its woody aroma helps stabilise mood, reduce anxiety, and foster emotional balance. Cedarwood is particularly effective in easing tension during hormonal shifts or creating a serene environment for relaxation.

Grapefruit

Grapefruit Essential Oil provides an uplifting and refreshing citrus aroma that complements emotional well-being. It is known for reducing feelings of stress and anxiety while promoting a positive and energised mood. Grapefruit is ideal for fostering a sense of ease and vitality in times of emotional or physical discomfort. Cedarwood and Grapefruit work synergistically to stabilise mood and promote relaxation. Cedarwood’s grounding woody aroma and Grapefruit’s uplifting citrus notes may help reduce tension, anxiety, and emotional discomfort. These oils are perfect for fostering emotional balance during PMS, creating a sense of ease in times of transition, or simply cultivating a peaceful environment.

Rose Geranium

Rose Geranium is a powerful Essential Oil for hormonal balance. Its soothing and mood-enhancing properties may help regulate emotional shifts experienced during PMS and menopause. Known for its ability to reduce brain fog and promote tranquillity, Rose Geranium is also ideal for balancing emotions, improving focus, and fostering an overall sense of calmness in day-to-day life.

Frankincense

Frankincense may assist in providing grounding and emotional support during periods of change. It may be beneficial with its anti-anxiety and antidepressant properties, in helping to alleviate feelings of stress and promote a peaceful mindset. Whether managing hormonal fluctuations or seeking a meditative atmosphere, Frankincense can help to enhance any self-care routine.

Clary Sage

Clary Sage is celebrated for its ability to balance mood and reduce depressive symptoms. It may be particularly effective in managing discomforts associated with PMS and menopause, such as hot flushes and heightened sensitivity. Additionally, its herbaceous aroma creates a calming environment, making it a versatile choice for emotional well-being at any stage of life.

Whether diffused in your home, applied topically with a carrier oil, or used in a relaxing bath - this blend provides a holistic approach to emotional and physical well-being.
