Peppermint oil soothes your stomach and mood, and shea butter moisturizes your skin and helps the balm go on smoothly, but the real magic comes from evening primrose oil and raspberry leaf. Evening primrose really balances your hormones because it’s packed full of omega-6 fatty acids. It also helps to reduce inflammation, which will help with bloating and pain.
