Blended With 

Lemon, a study, found that subjects rated their mood as more pleasant when a room was scented with lemon essential oil than with a malodorous or unscented room. The lemon odour also appeared to influence their personality ratings, as when exposed to the lemon odour participants believed more in an internal source of control and the less they believed that their lives were controlled by chance or powerful others significantly more than when exposed to malodour or no odour. They were also significantly less likely to report symptoms of existing health problems when exposed to lemon odour (Knasko, 1992). These results suggest that lemon essential oil odour lifts the mood and encourages more positive thoughts.

Black Pepper has been used in Folkloric medicine as a stimulant of the digestive system and the central nervous system (CNS). CNS stimulants can increase focus and energy levels. There is some evidence to support black pepper’s CNS stimulant effects, for example, evidence suggests that myristicin, a trace constituent found in black pepper, is converted into amphetamine derivatives by the liver (Braun and Khalben, 1973).  Amphetamines are central nervous system stimulants, so this may play a role in black pepper’s stimulating effect.

Eucalyptus Staigeriana, limonene constitutes 1-14% of Eucalyptus Stageriana. It has been shown to exert sedative and anxiolytic effect (de Almeida et al., 2012), which may explain its reported calming effects. Citral is another major component, citral has been shown in studies to exert antidepressant effects (Komori et al., 1995).

How to Use

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
