A Hormone-Supporting Essential Oil Every Woman Should Have: Why Lavender Is More Than Just a Calming Oil
Sarah SlabyShare
I was out walking this morning, taking a few business calls, and I felt like I needed to jump on and share something quick with you — because it's just too good not to!
Let’s talk about lavender.
Now, most of us already know lavender helps us calm down, unwind, and sleep better… all that good stuff. Whether you're putting it in a diffuser, rubbing it into your lotion, or even adding a few drops to your car diffuser for a peaceful drive — it’s a household favorite, right?
But here’s something you may not know:
Lavender also encourages estrogen production — and for us women, that’s a big deal.
Lavender + Your Hormones
If you’re in premenopause, perimenopause, or menopause, or just dealing with low estrogen for any reason, lavender can be a gentle, natural way to support hormone balance.
It actually encourages your body to produce more estrogen — and in some cases, it can even mimic estrogen. That makes it a simple but powerful addition to your wellness routine.
And the best part? It’s easy to use.
Easy Ways to Use Lavender Every Day
Here are just a few of the ways I personally love using it — and I’ve shared these with many women in my practice, too:
- In your nighttime routine – diffuse it in the bedroom or put a drop on a cotton ball near your pillow
- In your car – a few drops in your car diffuser makes driving a little more peaceful
- In your lotion – mix it in with your regular body lotion for calming skin and hormone support
- In your deodorant – a great way to support your hormones while staying fresh naturally
- Just breathe it in – truly, sometimes just a deep inhale is all it takes
Why I Always Keep Lavender in My Home
As a mom, a vet, a farmer, and a business owner, life is always full — and sometimes a little overwhelming. Lavender helps me slow down and feel supported. It’s calming, yes, but also deeply balancing.
If you’re navigating hormone changes — whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond — I can’t recommend this oil enough.
