For the relief of essential oils for hormone depression, add 2 drops of sage oil, 2 drops of bergamot Citrus oil, 2 drops of sandalwood oil and 1 drop of ylang or geranium oil, recommended by the American Herbal Society member Mingdi Green. This type of mixture is suitable for certain essential oil diffusers. Other diffusers require oil to be added to the water. If you don't have a diffuser, apply a few drops of this mixture to a handkerchief and a cotton ball, then place a handkerchief or cotton ball near you or sniff it regularly. Never apply pure essential oils to your skin. If you want to apply these oils to your skin, first mix them into 1 ounce of oil, such as almond oil, almond oil or sesame oil.
