A few drops in your diffuser, and suddenly you’re surrounded by twinkling lights, snowy scenes, and that soft, heartwarming glow that only the holidays can bring.

Finding Balance: Natural Support for PMS and Hormonal Health 🌿
If your monthly cycle feels more like a roller coaster than a gentle tide, you’re definitely not alone. So many women experience mood swings, fatigue, cramps, or bloating that seem to show up right on schedule each month. The good news? You’re not stuck with it — and there are gentle, holistic ways to support your body through every phase of your cycle.
PMS (premenstrual syndrome) affects more than 75% of women and is often linked to shifts in hormones like estrogen and progesterone. But PMS isn’t just about hormones — it’s also about how your body handles stress, sleep, nutrition, and emotional balance. When we care for all of these areas, our cycles start to feel more like something we move with rather than something we fight against.
Let’s talk about a few natural, supportive tools that can make a difference.
Nourish Your Hormones Daily 🌸
Your hormone system works around the clock, so daily support can make a huge difference in how you feel throughout your cycle.
💛 Daily Hormone Essentials

This supplement was designed to support women’s hormone balance through every stage of the month. It blends herbs, minerals, and essential oils that:
- Support healthy hormone levels naturally
- Help your body adapt to stress
- Encourage calm and reduce occasional tension
- Nourish liver and adrenal health
- Provide magnesium, which supports muscles, mood, and energy
Many women who use Daily Hormone Essentials describe feeling more emotionally steady, less reactive, and overall more grounded as their cycles even out.
“It feels like I pour liquid calm over all of my insides… like everything just settles down again.” — S
Gentle, Steady Energy ✨
NingXia Red is one of my daily go-tos for consistent energy and antioxidant support. It’s packed with nutrient-dense fruits that help fight everyday stress and support your body from the inside out.
I love adding a couple of ounces in the morning or early afternoon — it helps me avoid that mid-day crash and stay balanced all day long.

Supporting Hormonal Harmony
PD 80/20 and EndoGize are two other options that can help nourish your body’s natural hormone production and energy levels. Both support the endocrine system — the network of glands that keeps your hormones communicating properly.
They’re especially helpful if you’re noticing changes in your cycle, low energy, or stress-related fatigue.
Don’t Forget Your Minerals 🌿
Minerals play a huge role in how your body feels before and during your cycle. Mineral Essence provides quick, absorbable minerals your body can actually use.
Magnesium and other trace minerals help ease occasional cramps, support mood stability, and promote hydration — all essential during your cycle.

Essential Oils for Comfort & Calm 💆🏻♀️
Nature gives us so many tools for this time of the month. A few oils and blends I reach for regularly:
- Dragon Time – Balances emotions and soothes discomfort.
- Peace & Calming – Calms the nervous system and promotes rest.
- Joy – Lifts the spirit and brings emotional balance.
- Copaiba – Offers gentle relief for occasional tension and soreness.
- CBD Muscle & Joint Roll-On – Perfect for lower back or abdomen when things feel tight or achy.
And one of my absolute favorites:
Progessence Plus — a beautiful serum with essential oils and natural botanicals that many women find supportive for hormone balance and emotional steadiness. Apply to the neck or wrists daily.

Create a Cycle-Supportive Routine 🌙
Simple daily rituals can transform how you experience your cycle. Try adding a few of these gentle habits:
- Take your supplements with breakfast for steady support.
- Add 2–4 oz of NingXia Red mid-day for a clean energy boost.
- Use 2–3 droppers of Mineral Essence in water to stay hydrated and support your nervous system.
- Apply your favorite oils morning and night — especially Progessence Plus, Dragon Time, or Peace & Calming.
- Take warm Epsom salt baths a few times a week (add Lavender or Dragon Time for extra relaxation).
- Move your body — even gentle stretching or walking helps reduce bloating and boosts your mood.
- Take time to journal, pray, or simply breathe. Your emotions are part of your cycle too.
You don’t have to dread “that time of the month.” With natural, consistent support, your body can feel more balanced, calm, and in rhythm. These tools aren’t just about getting through PMS — they’re about thriving in your body every day of the month.

Syncing with Your Cycle: Creating Rhythms that Work with Your Hormones 🌙
Did you know that creating routines around your hormone cycle can actually make your life easier?
When you understand how your hormones naturally rise and fall throughout the month, you can design rhythms and routines that nourish your body — physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s about working with your body’s design, not against it.
We’re not meant to run at full speed all the time. Some days we sprint, some days we jog, and some days… we rest. When you know where you are in your cycle, you can plan your workload, your workouts, and even your self-care in ways that bring more peace and productivity.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s happening inside your body each month and how you can align your routines with each phase.
🌺 The Four Phases of the Female Hormone Cycle
Your monthly cycle includes four unique phases — menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal.
Each lasts about a week, though every woman’s rhythm is slightly different.
Each lasts about a week, though every woman’s rhythm is slightly different.
These shifts in hormones impact not only your physical body but also your energy, emotions, mood, and focus. When we understand what’s happening, it’s easier to show ourselves grace and create habits that support our well-being instead of fighting our natural flow.
Phase 1: Menstrual (Days 1–7)
This phase begins on the first day of your period. Both estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest, which often means lower energy and a natural pull toward rest and reflection.
How to support yourself this week:
- Say no to big commitments and carve out quiet space to rest.
- Nourish your body with warm, grounding foods and hydration.
- Take Epsom salt baths with Lavender, Frankincense, or Dragon Time for relaxation.
- Diffuse Valor, Frankincense, or Bergamot while journaling or meditating.
- Skip strenuous workouts — gentle yoga, stretching, or a slow walk are ideal.
- Use Deep Relief or CBD Muscle Rub on tense muscles.
This is your “winter” week — a time for stillness, rest, and listening to what your body and heart need.
Phase 2: Follicular (Days 8–14)
As your body prepares for ovulation, estrogen and testosterone rise — bringing renewed energy, focus, and optimism. You might feel more social, creative, and productive.
How to support yourself this week:
- Dive into brainstorming, planning, and problem-solving.
- Schedule meetings, social events, or workouts that energize you.
- Diffuse Envision, Clarity, or Brain Power while working.
- Try resistance training or higher-intensity workouts if you feel up for it.
- Use Deep Relief or Peppermint pre- or post-workout to soothe muscles.
Think of this as your “spring” phase — fresh energy, growth, and creativity.
Phase 3: Ovulatory (Around Day 15–21)
Ovulation is the main event — the moment your body has been preparing for. Hormones peak, energy is high, and you might feel your best both emotionally and physically.
How to support yourself this week:
- Schedule big projects, social events, or interviews.
- Connect deeply with others (great week for quality time with your spouse or loved ones).
- Keep up your workouts and active routines, but continue caring for your body before and after exercise.
- Prioritize hydration and nutrient-rich foods.
This is your “summer” week — full of vitality and connection. Enjoy it!
Phase 4: Luteal (Days 22–28)
After ovulation, progesterone rises while estrogen and testosterone taper off. You might start feeling slower, more inward-focused, and even crave comfort foods or quiet time. PMS symptoms can appear as your body prepares for menstruation again.
How to support yourself this week:
- Tidy up, organize, and complete projects early in the week while energy is steady.
- As your body slows down, increase self-care: warm baths, rest, and hydration.
- Diffuse calming oils like Peace & Calming or Release.
- Take magnesium or Mineral Essence to ease tension and support relaxation.
- Opt for gentle movement — restorative yoga or a peaceful walk.
- If you notice PMS symptoms, support your body with supplements or gentle liver-supporting options like JuvaTone.
This is your “autumn” week — time to wind down, reflect, and prepare for another cycle of renewal.
Supporting Your Cycle All Month Long 🌿
Our hormones are designed to fluctuate, but many women today start from a place of imbalance — especially with progesterone. Small, consistent habits can make a big difference:
- Apply Progessence Plus daily throughout your cycle or up until Day 1.
- Use Dragon Time Massage Oil over the abdomen during your period and the days leading up to it.
- Drink NingXia Red with Mineral Essence daily for nutrient and antioxidant support.
- Prioritize sleep, hydration, and whole foods that keep your blood sugar steady.
These aren’t quick fixes — they’re gentle rhythms of self-care that build balance and awareness over time.
Final Thoughts 💛
Learning to live in sync with our hormone cycles is such a powerful (and often overlooked) part of women’s wellness. Even though I’m in a different season of life now, I’m continually amazed at how beautifully our bodies were designed — with rhythms and patterns meant to guide us, not frustrate us.
If you’re in a stage where you’re still cycling, I’d love to hear from you!

Instead of rushing through the holiday hustle and bustle, we’re slowing down, savoring the season, and creating cozy winter spaces wherever we may be.
This time of year is full of gatherings, events, hosting, parties and travel—which we love—but all of those wonderful things can still pull on emotions, bandwidth, and energy.
So let’s enter this season with intentional calm.
Mindfulness.
Presence.
And the coziest winter environment…no matter where the days lead us.

Presence.
And the coziest winter environment…no matter where the days lead us.
When we intentionally slow down, we gift ourselves rest and replenishment. We make room for gratitude, reflection, and connecting more deeply with the people we love.
Simple Seasonal Grounding Practices with Essential Oils
Simple grounding practices help us stay rooted in a slower rhythm.
Journaling at the start or end of the day, turning on your diffuser in the evening, or taking a few mindful breaths of a grounding essential oil blend when the day feels scattered—all of these bring us back to presence and help set the tone for a cozy winter home.

How Scent Creates a Cozy Winter Home Sanctuary
Scent is emotionally powerful. It can instantly transport us, shift our mood, and help us stay grounded in the present moment.
Our sense of smell is directly tied to the part of the brain that processes memory and emotion, which is why scent becomes part of the moment and part of the memory.
Essential oils are a beautiful way to create curated seasonal energy—whether that’s a room full of peace, a cozy evening vibe, winter nostalgia, or joyful bright holiday energy.
