This Courage Essential Oil blend is crafted with a potent blend of Lavandin, Melissa, Cornmint and Basil Essential Oils for a subtle and grounding effect, designed to increase confidence and courage without aggression. Inhaling the blend regularly will bring spiritual strength.
10ml Essential Oil Blend - Hand-made in the UK.
Lavandin Super is purported to reduce nervous debility, listlessness and nervous tension (Price and Price, 2011), and reduce hysteria and lack of nerve.
Melissa was revered in the 15th Century by Paracelsus as a remedy for ‘all complaints supposed to proceed from a disordered state of the nervous system’. The most commonly indicated uses are to reduce anxiety, stress and excitability.
Cornmint has similar properties to Peppermint Essential Oil Cornmint has a stimulating effect and helps to relieve nervous headaches.
Basil ct Linalool in traditional folk medicine, the dried leaves of European basil have been ground and used as a snuff for achieving mental clarity and focus (Garland, 2004).
Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be used with care. The guidance below is a helpful starting point, but we recommend consulting a qualified aromatherapist for personalised advice. Need help? Call us on 01455 251020 or email [email protected]; we’re happy to help.
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
