Geranium has been used in traditional medicine as a diuretic (Boukhris et al., 2012), which would also be useful for reducing water weight and oedema. Furthermore, it is also used in aromatherapy as an anti-inflammatory, so could be useful in reducing oedema.

Fennel, potential diuretic and anti-inflammatory activities of fennel indicate this oil may be useful to reduce oedema. It has also been suggested that fennel is able to lower blood sugar levels.

Rosemary significantly reduced the influx of white blood cells, exudate levels, and proinflammatory enzymes and mediators, key processes in inflammation, in induced inflammatory responses in rodents. Rosemary’s constituents carnosol, betulinic acid and ursolic acid may be responsible for these anti-inflammatory properties.

Patchouli is reportedly anti-inflammatory, as supported by several in vitro and in vivo studies. Li et al. (2011) found that patchouli alcohol, the major component of patchouli essential oil comprising around 23.6-45.9% of the oil (Price and Price, 2011)

Inhalation
Undiluted essential oils may be inhaled from a tissue or a pillow (4-6 drops). Alternatively, they can be inhaled from a bowl of hot water (3 or 4 drops) or a diffuser (see table below), but avoid this if asthmatic. Never inhale essential oils directly from the bottle.

Shampoo and Bath Foam
Create unique aromatherapy bath foams or shampoos by mixing up to 30 drops of your own essential oil blend into 100ml of a suitable bath foam base or shampoo base.

Skincare Cream
Essential oils can be added to vegetable-based creams and then developed into facial products or topical creams. Do not add more than 15 drops of essential oil to 50ml of your base cream.

Pregnancy
Essential oils are best avoided during the first months of pregnancy. After the third month, many oils can be used safely and effectively. If in doubt, always consult a qualified aromatherapist. Find out more in our blog, Aromatherapy & Pregnancy
