10ml Essential Oil Blend - Hand-made in the UK
Pine Scotch, inhalation helps asthma, catarrh and blocked sinuses and it is said to be an excellent restorative after a long illness. It is also a useful oil for men as it helps the body manufacture semen.
Cedarwood Atlas was previously used as a poison antidote called "mithridat."It was used by the ancient Egyptians for embalming purposes, cosmetics and perfumery. Excellent for nervous tension.
Basil was highly regarded in the past and even regarded as a ‘King among plants’ (Davis, 1990). Like rosemary, it was thought to relieve stress and clear the mind, for instance, some Indian tribes chewed basil leaves for inspiration.
Lavandin Super is purported to reduce nervous debility, listlessness and nervous tension (Price and Price, 2011), and reduce hysteria and lack of nerve.
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
