Women's Balance Blend
Designed to support hormone-balancing, emotional wellness, and mood-enhancement this blend, can help ease the physical and emotional symptoms often associated with menopause.
Ingredients:
- Rose Geranium – is known for its hormone-balancing properties, making it an excellent choice for menopause. It can help regulate the endocrine system and reduce hot flashes and mood swings.
- Rose (in Jojoba) – is often associated with beauty and romance, but it’s also a powerful ally for emotional support. Blended with jojoba oil, it becomes a gentle yet potent solution to help ease stress, anxiety, and promote emotional stability.
- Tangerine – essential oil is renowned for its ability to uplift the spirit. It can provide a much-needed boost of energy, help combat fatigue, and enhance mood, which can be especially beneficial during the low-energy moments of menopause.
Diffuser: 2-3 drops of each oil added to your diffuser. Diffuse for up to 3 hours morning and/or night.
Massage: Add 2 drops of each oil to 1 tbsp of Sweet Almond Oil and massage over body.
N.B. Avoid massaging over sensitive areas and eyes.
HOT TIP: to soothe dry skin use 1 tbsp of Jojoba oil instead of Sweet Almond for more intensive moisturising leaving your skin soft and silky.
Inhalation: Neatly fold a tissue into thirds & add 1 drop of each oil to one end. Fold the tissue back on itself twice so the end with the oils are folded to the inner section. Place tissue in your top pocket and inhale throughout the day as required.

Alternative Balance Blend Oils
If you’re after a different aroma, try using these oils in the applications above instead: –
- Geranium: Start with 4 drops of Geranium essential oil. It is the cornerstone of the blend, offering hormone-regulating benefits.
- Neroli (in Jojoba): Add 3 drops of Neroli (in Jojoba) for emotional support and to reduce stress and anxiety.
- Bergamot: Complete the blend with 2 drops of Bergamot essential oil. This addition contributes to mood enhancement and emotional balance.
CAUTION: Not suited for use topically (massage) while pregnant.
