Natural support for your cycle
Ever feel like you’re on a roller coaster during your period? That’s because you are—sort of. Your hormones rise and fall throughout your menstrual cycle, leading to shifts in your mood, energy, focus, and sleep.
Instead of fighting against these changes, learn to flow with them. By aligning your daily habits, including the essential oils you use, you can build a routine that pairs perfectly with each phase of your cycle. This is called cycle syncing, and it’s a simple way to make the most of your natural rhythm.
Ready to sync up? Here’s your phase-by-phase guide to cycle syncing with essential oils.
(Days 1–5)
Rest. Release. Restore.
During your period, your estrogen and progesterone levels are at their lowest, which can leave you feeling tired or emotionally sensitive.
This is a great time to slow down, take it easy, and reach for essential oil scents that promote a calm, grounded atmosphere.
Focus areas:
- Rest and unwind: Use Lavender oil for a calming scent.
- Get grounded: Diffuse or apply the Dragon Time™ blend for a relaxing, grounding scent.
- Do some gentle movement: Try yoga or slow walking.
(Days 6–13)
Energy + creativity
During the follicular phase, estrogen begins to rise, and so does your energy, mental clarity, creativity, and mood.
Take advantage of this phase to flex those creative muscles, set goals, and step up your workouts.
Focus areas:
- Stay sharp: Diffuse Highest Potential™ blend while you stay motivated.
- Promote an environment of focus: Diffuse Peppermint oil’s sharp aroma.
- Exercise: Increase intensity with strength training or cardio.
- Set goals: Journal or plan future projects.
(Days 14–17)
Glow time + confidence high
The ovulatory phase is your most magnetic and energetic time of month. Thanks to peaking estrogen levels and a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), you may feel more social, confident, and attractive.
If you’re trying to get pregnant, this is a good time to prioritize anti-inflammatory foods—like fruits, veggies, legumes, olive oil, and fish—which may help support fertility.
Focus areas:
- Confidence: Use Valor® blend on your wrists before social events or calls.
- Community: Plan social outings, collaborations, or romantic time.
- Nutrition: Eat anti-inflammatory foods; try NingXia Red® drink!
- Exercise: Try endurance or stamina training.
- Connection: Diffuse or apply Ylang Ylang oil to invite a romantic atmosphere.
(Days 18–28)
Ground + soothe
As progesterone rises, your body shifts into wind-down mode. If pregnancy doesn’t occur, estrogen and progesterone begin to drop—cue the mood swings, cravings, and energy dips often associated with PMS.
Prioritizing self-care and relaxing rituals can help you get through this stage smoothly.
Focus areas:
- Ride out the tough times: Diffuse or apply Release™ blend with Dragon Time™ blend during challenging moments while you stay in control and boost your positivity.
- Focus on inner harmony: Dilute Clary Sage and massage it over the lower abdomen.
- Support blood sugar: Prioritize protein and whole foods to reduce cravings.
- Make time to relax: Diffuse calming aromas like White Angelica™ or Stress Away® blend.
