Blends for the New Year

To add more Playfulness to your life

Francoise Rapp suggests

-6 drops Orange
-3 drops Bergamot
-3 drops Basil

This would be a wonderful blend in for the diffuser.

Dieting? Help your body detox with these:

Detox Scrub: to 1/2 cup of sea salt, add enough carrier oil of your choice (Jojoba works well for all skin types) to blend to a “wet sand” consistency. Blend 4 drops Lemon essential oil, 4 drops Juniper essential oil, and 2 drops Fennel essential oil. Stir essential oil blend into scrub base. After showering, while still standing in the shower, scrub the body with this gently detoxifying scrub, paying special attentions to areas of cellulite. Rinse well and dry.

Detox Bath: Blend one cup Dead Sea Salts with the same essential oil blend mentioned above. Stir into warm bath, soak as long as you have patience for.

Energizer: Combine equal parts of peppermint, juniper, and rosemary cineole essential oils. Either use in a diffuser, or, for an energizing shower, put four or five drops of the blend on the shower floor. The steam will diffuse the aromatics.

Resolved to be more creative?

I’m told this blend will encourage/enhance your creativity:

3 drops Rosewood
3 drops Ylang Ylang
2 drops Sweet Orange
1 drops Clove

(I should be diffusing this while I write this newsletter!)

Warm Up!

The midsouth, and most of our nation, is in the throes of a deep freeze as I type. To warm chilly hands or feet scoop one measuring teaspoon of your favorite cream or lotion into your hand. Add ONE drop of either Black Pepper, or Ginger, or Cistus essential oil. Stir in and rub into hands or feet. This will give you a 1% dilution, not enough to irritate any but the most sensitive skin, but enough to warm you. All three oils are warming circulatory stimulants.

Quote of the Month

Some of you may remember an aromatherapy mailing list that existed close to 20 years ago…“The IDMA list” I never knew what the term “IDMA” referred to, but I learned so much from the members. So many “seniors” in our industry shared their guidance, so many of us newcomers shared our discoveries, asked our questions, grew and learned together. There was an Aromatherapist from Poland, Sherrill P. Her signature line on all of her messages read, “Stay Safe and Warm.” I am reminded of Sherrill this evening as I sit here trying to stay warm.

Stay safe and warm, everyone.
