Hi Bel,

As Jen says, relaxing blends that you both really like are the best.

Here is another blend that DH & I have used: not sure if it did the trick or not, but it definately smells lovely: we used it in a massage blend as well as burning it in water in a vaporiser/oil burner:

In burner:
1 drop Rose (any)
4 drops geranium
1 drop nutmeg

As a massage oil:
5 drops rose (any)
20 drops geranium
5 drops nutmeg
Mix with 30ml massage oil

There is an Enlglish lady called Valerie Wormwood, who writes a lot of aromatherapy books, and she recommends massaging this oil into yourself every day, starting on the first day of a new cycle, and massaging it into the whole mid section of your body: abdomen, thicks, hips, buttocks, lower back etc (but not into any of your nooks and crannies, IYKWIM!).

As Kelly says earlier on in this thread, I would still recommend seeking the advice of a professional aromatherapist, as the above is just my own experience, and I certainly have no idea if it actually works or not!
