Anointing Oils are diluted versions of synergies which are safe for use on skin/pulse points, again for physical, emotional, spiritual, or household use, as well as for the bath, skin care, and natural perfumery. Our anointing oils are diluted with either Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil, both of which have long shelf lives, and do not detract from the aroma or purpose of the blend itself. ______________________________ 20% off thru the end of Summer!

Whoa Mama!
A weekend to celebrate all the mothers and mother figures out there. “Mother” can carry many meanings. The one I like best is the actual action to mother because the noun is simply a female who birthed offspring. It’s so much more than that. To mother is “to treat a person with great kindness and love and to try to protect them from anything dangerous or difficult”… and such is life. So, to all of you protectors and caregivers out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
With much love from our crew of mothers, grandmothers, (ahem) soon to be Great Grandmother, and fur baby mothers

I am becoming an Aromatherapist, and found that the information that you shared with describing all of your products was like being read a wonderful lullabye. I fell in love even more with essential oils and you…Marge Clark. I have heard much about you via Liz Fuller and I am now one of your super fans, and possibly the future president of your fan club.
Laurel Blair/Future: Celtic Crone Aromatics.
Hello Again,
Since receiving my products, I have become an even greater fan.
From the timeliness to the careful packaging, it was all impressive.
And the products themselves are just terrific.
In fact I just put in another order, because I forgot some items the first go round!
Thank you for the chance to give my opinion. Keep up the great work and working.”

Essential Oils That Can Ease Unpleasant Emotions
To help ease uncomfortable emotions:
(Please note that I have NO idea what the original source of this much of this information was. I have added and updated over the years as I learned more about the emotional uses of the oils.)
My personal recommendations are bolded. Question marks indicate my personal skepticism.
Aggression: Bergamot, Roman Chamomile,Juniper?, Lemon?, Sweet Marjoram, Rosemary?, Ylang-ylang
Anger: German or Roman Chamomile, Jasmine, Sweet Marjoram, Palma Rosa?, Rose, Rosemary, Ylang-ylang
Anxiety: Neroli, Petitgrain Bigarade, Bitter Orange, Bergamot, Roman Chamomile, Frankincense, Geranium (for balance), Lavender, Orange, Patchouli, Rose (for confidence), Sandalwood, Sweet Marjoram, Vetiver (for grounding)
Disappointment: Bergamot, Cypress, Frankincense, Jasmine, Orange, Rose
Fatigue (Emotional and Mental): Basil, Clary, Cardamon, Cinnamon Leaf or Bark, Clove Bud, Coriander, Eucalyptus citriodora, Ginger, Grapefruit, Helichrysum, Jasmine, Juniper, Orange, Palmarosa, Peppermint, Rosemary, Thyme, Vetiver, Ylang-ylang
Fear: Cedarwood (Atlas or Himalayan), Fennel, Ginger, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Thyme
Grief: Bergamot, Chamomile, Jasmine, Marjoram, Neroli, Rose
Hysteria: Chamomile Roman, Helichrysum, Lavender, Neroli, Orange, Tea Tree
Impatience: Chamomile, Clary Sage, Frankincense, Lavender
Indecision: Basil, Clary Sage, Cypress, Jasmine, Patchouli, Peppermint

Tension: Chamomile, Clary, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet Marjoram, Neroli, Orange, Petitgrain, Rose, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Ylang-ylang
For emotional use, we really prefer inhalation, from a personal inhaler or just a drop on a tissue. Using a few drops (proper dilution) in a hand and body lotion is also appropriate. Room diffusion is always an option if you want to change the “emotional climate” of a space, or for a group, but personal inhalation is truly more effective on an individual basis.

Whoa Mama!
A weekend to celebrate all the mothers and mother figures out there. “Mother” can carry many meanings. The one I like best is the actual action to mother because the noun is simply a female who birthed offspring. It’s so much more than that. To mother is “to treat a person with great kindness and love and to try to protect them from anything dangerous or difficult”… and such is life. So, to all of you protectors and caregivers out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
With much love from our crew of mothers, grandmothers, (ahem) soon to be Great Grandmother, and fur baby mothers

Hello Again,
Since receiving my products, I have become an even greater fan.
From the timeliness to the careful packaging, it was all impressive.

Essential Oils That Can Ease Unpleasant Emotions
To help ease uncomfortable emotions:
(Please note that I have NO idea what the original source of this much of this information was. I have added and updated over the years as I learned more about the emotional uses of the oils.)
My personal recommendations are bolded. Question marks indicate my personal skepticism.

Fear: Cedarwood (Atlas or Himalayan), Fennel, Ginger, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Thyme
Grief: Bergamot, Chamomile, Jasmine, Marjoram, Neroli, Rose
Hysteria: Chamomile Roman, Helichrysum, Lavender, Neroli, Orange, Tea Tree
Impatience: Chamomile, Clary Sage, Frankincense, Lavender
Indecision: Basil, Clary Sage, Cypress, Jasmine, Patchouli, Peppermint

Tension: Chamomile, Clary, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet Marjoram, Neroli, Orange, Petitgrain, Rose, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Ylang-ylang
For emotional use, we really prefer inhalation, from a personal inhaler or just a drop on a tissue. Using a few drops (proper dilution) in a hand and body lotion is also appropriate. Room diffusion is always an option if you want to change the “emotional climate” of a space, or for a group, but personal inhalation is truly more effective on an individual basis.

These “synergies” or synergistic blends are comprised of pure, undiluted, essential oils suitable for use in a diffuser or aroma-stick personal inhaler. Anointing Oils are diluted versions of synergies which are safe for use on skin/pulse points, again for physical, emotional, spiritual, or household use, as well as for the bath, skin care, and natural perfumery. Our anointing oils are diluted with either Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil, both of which have long shelf lives, and do not detract from the aroma or purpose of the blend itself. ______________________________ 20% off thru the end of Summer!

“Hello!
I am becoming an Aromatherapist, and found that the information that you shared with describing all of your products was like being read a wonderful lullabye. I fell in love even more with essential oils and you…Marge Clark. I have heard much about you via Liz Fuller and I am now one of your super fans, and possibly the future president of your fan club.
Laurel Blair/Future: Celtic Crone Aromatics.
Hello Again,
Since receiving my products, I have become an even greater fan.
From the timeliness to the careful packaging, it was all impressive.
And the products themselves are just terrific.
In fact I just put in another order, because I forgot some items the first go round!
Thank you for the chance to give my opinion. Keep up the great work and working.”

Essential Oils That Can Ease Unpleasant Emotions
To help ease uncomfortable emotions:
(Please note that I have NO idea what the original source of this much of this information was. I have added and updated over the years as I learned more about the emotional uses of the oils.)
My personal recommendations are bolded. Question marks indicate my personal skepticism.

Fear: Cedarwood (Atlas or Himalayan), Fennel, Ginger, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Thyme

Tension: Chamomile, Clary, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet Marjoram, Neroli, Orange, Petitgrain, Rose, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Ylang-ylang
For emotional use, we really prefer inhalation, from a personal inhaler or just a drop on a tissue. Using a few drops (proper dilution) in a hand and body lotion is also appropriate. Room diffusion is always an option if you want to change the “emotional climate” of a space, or for a group, but personal inhalation is truly more effective on an individual basis.

Don’t forget your SHIPFREE code for domestic orders over $75. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Synergies and Anointing Oils Amazing things can happen when two or more essential oils are blended. The two (or more) parts working together result in greater healing activity than the sum of the individual parts. These “synergies” or synergistic blends are comprised of pure, undiluted, essential oils suitable for use in a diffuser or aroma-stick personal inhaler. Anointing Oils are diluted versions of synergies which are safe for use on skin/pulse points, again for physical, emotional, spiritual, or household use, as well as for the bath, skin care, and natural perfumery. Our anointing oils are diluted with either Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil, both of which have long shelf lives, and do not detract from the aroma or purpose of the blend itself. ______________________________ 20% off thru the end of Summer! We have given new life to NoNItz! Now to be known as NipIt! ...as in “in the bud”. From our own personal use and customer reviews, we have found it to be useful for more than just deterring little pests from taking up residence in your child’s hair. We have found it to also ease symptoms of dandruff and itchy, dry scalp relief. Synergy, Shampoo, and Leave-in conditioner marked down thru September 21st, the true last day of Summer.

May 2024 Newsletter
Whoa Mama!
A weekend to celebrate all the mothers and mother figures out there. “Mother” can carry many meanings. The one I like best is the actual action to mother because the noun is simply a female who birthed offspring. It’s so much more than that. To mother is “to treat a person with great kindness and love and to try to protect them from anything dangerous or difficult”… and such is life. So, to all of you protectors and caregivers out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
With much love from our crew of mothers, grandmothers, (ahem) soon to be Great Grandmother, and fur baby mothers

I am becoming an Aromatherapist, and found that the information that you shared with describing all of your products was like being read a wonderful lullabye. I fell in love even more with essential oils and you…Marge Clark. I have heard much about you via Liz Fuller and I am now one of your super fans, and possibly the future president of your fan club.
Laurel Blair/Future: Celtic Crone Aromatics.
Hello Again,
Since receiving my products, I have become an even greater fan.
From the timeliness to the careful packaging, it was all impressive.
And the products themselves are just terrific.
In fact I just put in another order, because I forgot some items the first go round!
Thank you for the chance to give my opinion. Keep up the great work and working.”

Essential Oils That Can Ease Unpleasant Emotions
To help ease uncomfortable emotions:
(Please note that I have NO idea what the original source of this much of this information was. I have added and updated over the years as I learned more about the emotional uses of the oils.)
My personal recommendations are bolded. Question marks indicate my personal skepticism.

For emotional use, we really prefer inhalation, from a personal inhaler or just a drop on a tissue. Using a few drops (proper dilution) in a hand and body lotion is also appropriate. Room diffusion is always an option if you want to change the “emotional climate” of a space, or for a group, but personal inhalation is truly more effective on an individual basis.

These “synergies” or synergistic blends are comprised of pure, undiluted, essential oils suitable for use in a diffuser or aroma-stick personal inhaler. Anointing Oils are diluted versions of synergies which are safe for use on skin/pulse points, again for physical, emotional, spiritual, or household use, as well as for the bath, skin care, and natural perfumery. Our anointing oils are diluted with either Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil, both of which have long shelf lives, and do not detract from the aroma or purpose of the blend itself. ______________________________ 20% off thru the end of Summer!

May 2024 Newsletter
Whoa Mama!
A weekend to celebrate all the mothers and mother figures out there. “Mother” can carry many meanings. The one I like best is the actual action to mother because the noun is simply a female who birthed offspring. It’s so much more than that. To mother is “to treat a person with great kindness and love and to try to protect them from anything dangerous or difficult”… and such is life. So, to all of you protectors and caregivers out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
With much love from our crew of mothers, grandmothers, (ahem) soon to be Great Grandmother, and fur baby mothers

“Hello!
I am becoming an Aromatherapist, and found that the information that you shared with describing all of your products was like being read a wonderful lullabye. I fell in love even more with essential oils and you…Marge Clark. I have heard much about you via Liz Fuller and I am now one of your super fans, and possibly the future president of your fan club.
Laurel Blair/Future: Celtic Crone Aromatics.
Hello Again,
Since receiving my products, I have become an even greater fan.
From the timeliness to the careful packaging, it was all impressive.
And the products themselves are just terrific.
In fact I just put in another order, because I forgot some items the first go round!
Thank you for the chance to give my opinion. Keep up the great work and working.”

Essential Oils That Can Ease Unpleasant Emotions
To help ease uncomfortable emotions:
(Please note that I have NO idea what the original source of this much of this information was. I have added and updated over the years as I learned more about the emotional uses of the oils.)
My personal recommendations are bolded. Question marks indicate my personal skepticism.

Tension: Chamomile, Clary, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet Marjoram, Neroli, Orange, Petitgrain, Rose, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Ylang-ylang
For emotional use, we really prefer inhalation, from a personal inhaler or just a drop on a tissue. Using a few drops (proper dilution) in a hand and body lotion is also appropriate. Room diffusion is always an option if you want to change the “emotional climate” of a space, or for a group, but personal inhalation is truly more effective on an individual basis.

These “synergies” or synergistic blends are comprised of pure, undiluted, essential oils suitable for use in a diffuser or aroma-stick personal inhaler. Anointing Oils are diluted versions of synergies which are safe for use on skin/pulse points, again for physical, emotional, spiritual, or household use, as well as for the bath, skin care, and natural perfumery. Our anointing oils are diluted with either Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil, both of which have long shelf lives, and do not detract from the aroma or purpose of the blend itself. ______________________________ 20% off thru the end of Summer!

May 2024 Newsletter
Whoa Mama!
A weekend to celebrate all the mothers and mother figures out there. “Mother” can carry many meanings. The one I like best is the actual action to mother because the noun is simply a female who birthed offspring. It’s so much more than that. To mother is “to treat a person with great kindness and love and to try to protect them from anything dangerous or difficult”… and such is life. So, to all of you protectors and caregivers out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
With much love from our crew of mothers, grandmothers, (ahem) soon to be Great Grandmother, and fur baby mothers

Hello Again,
Since receiving my products, I have become an even greater fan.
From the timeliness to the careful packaging, it was all impressive.

Essential Oils That Can Ease Unpleasant Emotions
To help ease uncomfortable emotions:
(Please note that I have NO idea what the original source of this much of this information was. I have added and updated over the years as I learned more about the emotional uses of the oils.)
My personal recommendations are bolded. Question marks indicate my personal skepticism.

Fear: Cedarwood (Atlas or Himalayan), Fennel, Ginger, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Thyme

Tension: Chamomile, Clary, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet Marjoram, Neroli, Orange, Petitgrain, Rose, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Ylang-ylang
For emotional use, we really prefer inhalation, from a personal inhaler or just a drop on a tissue. Using a few drops (proper dilution) in a hand and body lotion is also appropriate. Room diffusion is always an option if you want to change the “emotional climate” of a space, or for a group, but personal inhalation is truly more effective on an individual basis.

These “synergies” or synergistic blends are comprised of pure, undiluted, essential oils suitable for use in a diffuser or aroma-stick personal inhaler. Anointing Oils are diluted versions of synergies which are safe for use on skin/pulse points, again for physical, emotional, spiritual, or household use, as well as for the bath, skin care, and natural perfumery. Our anointing oils are diluted with either Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil, both of which have long shelf lives, and do not detract from the aroma or purpose of the blend itself. ______________________________ 20% off thru the end of Summer!

May 2024 Newsletter
Whoa Mama!
A weekend to celebrate all the mothers and mother figures out there. “Mother” can carry many meanings. The one I like best is the actual action to mother because the noun is simply a female who birthed offspring. It’s so much more than that. To mother is “to treat a person with great kindness and love and to try to protect them from anything dangerous or difficult”… and such is life. So, to all of you protectors and caregivers out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
With much love from our crew of mothers, grandmothers, (ahem) soon to be Great Grandmother, and fur baby mothers

Essential Oils That Can Ease Unpleasant Emotions
To help ease uncomfortable emotions:
(Please note that I have NO idea what the original source of this much of this information was. I have added and updated over the years as I learned more about the emotional uses of the oils.)
My personal recommendations are bolded. Question marks indicate my personal skepticism.

Tension: Chamomile, Clary, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet Marjoram, Neroli, Orange, Petitgrain, Rose, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Ylang-ylang
For emotional use, we really prefer inhalation, from a personal inhaler or just a drop on a tissue. Using a few drops (proper dilution) in a hand and body lotion is also appropriate. Room diffusion is always an option if you want to change the “emotional climate” of a space, or for a group, but personal inhalation is truly more effective on an individual basis.

These “synergies” or synergistic blends are comprised of pure, undiluted, essential oils suitable for use in a diffuser or aroma-stick personal inhaler. Anointing Oils are diluted versions of synergies which are safe for use on skin/pulse points, again for physical, emotional, spiritual, or household use, as well as for the bath, skin care, and natural perfumery. Our anointing oils are diluted with either Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil, both of which have long shelf lives, and do not detract from the aroma or purpose of the blend itself. ______________________________ 20% off thru the end of Summer!

May 2024 Newsletter
Whoa Mama!
A weekend to celebrate all the mothers and mother figures out there. “Mother” can carry many meanings. The one I like best is the actual action to mother because the noun is simply a female who birthed offspring. It’s so much more than that. To mother is “to treat a person with great kindness and love and to try to protect them from anything dangerous or difficult”… and such is life. So, to all of you protectors and caregivers out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
With much love from our crew of mothers, grandmothers, (ahem) soon to be Great Grandmother, and fur baby mothers

Essential Oils That Can Ease Unpleasant Emotions
To help ease uncomfortable emotions:
(Please note that I have NO idea what the original source of this much of this information was. I have added and updated over the years as I learned more about the emotional uses of the oils.)
My personal recommendations are bolded. Question marks indicate my personal skepticism.

Tension: Chamomile, Clary, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet Marjoram, Neroli, Orange, Petitgrain, Rose, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Ylang-ylang
For emotional use, we really prefer inhalation, from a personal inhaler or just a drop on a tissue. Using a few drops (proper dilution) in a hand and body lotion is also appropriate. Room diffusion is always an option if you want to change the “emotional climate” of a space, or for a group, but personal inhalation is truly more effective on an individual basis.

These “synergies” or synergistic blends are comprised of pure, undiluted, essential oils suitable for use in a diffuser or aroma-stick personal inhaler. Anointing Oils are diluted versions of synergies which are safe for use on skin/pulse points, again for physical, emotional, spiritual, or household use, as well as for the bath, skin care, and natural perfumery. Our anointing oils are diluted with either Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil, both of which have long shelf lives, and do not detract from the aroma or purpose of the blend itself. ______________________________ 20% off thru the end of Summer!

May 2024 Newsletter
Whoa Mama!
A weekend to celebrate all the mothers and mother figures out there. “Mother” can carry many meanings. The one I like best is the actual action to mother because the noun is simply a female who birthed offspring. It’s so much more than that. To mother is “to treat a person with great kindness and love and to try to protect them from anything dangerous or difficult”… and such is life. So, to all of you protectors and caregivers out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
With much love from our crew of mothers, grandmothers, (ahem) soon to be Great Grandmother, and fur baby mothers

Hello Again,
Since receiving my products, I have become an even greater fan.
From the timeliness to the careful packaging, it was all impressive.

Thank you for the chance to give my opinion. Keep up the great work and working.”

Essential Oils That Can Ease Unpleasant Emotions
To help ease uncomfortable emotions:
(Please note that I have NO idea what the original source of this much of this information was. I have added and updated over the years as I learned more about the emotional uses of the oils.)
My personal recommendations are bolded. Question marks indicate my personal skepticism.

Tension: Chamomile, Clary, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet Marjoram, Neroli, Orange, Petitgrain, Rose, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Ylang-ylang
For emotional use, we really prefer inhalation, from a personal inhaler or just a drop on a tissue. Using a few drops (proper dilution) in a hand and body lotion is also appropriate. Room diffusion is always an option if you want to change the “emotional climate” of a space, or for a group, but personal inhalation is truly more effective on an individual basis.

These “synergies” or synergistic blends are comprised of pure, undiluted, essential oils suitable for use in a diffuser or aroma-stick personal inhaler. Anointing Oils are diluted versions of synergies which are safe for use on skin/pulse points, again for physical, emotional, spiritual, or household use, as well as for the bath, skin care, and natural perfumery. Our anointing oils are diluted with either Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil, both of which have long shelf lives, and do not detract from the aroma or purpose of the blend itself. ______________________________ 20% off thru the end of Summer!

May 2024 Newsletter
Whoa Mama!
A weekend to celebrate all the mothers and mother figures out there. “Mother” can carry many meanings. The one I like best is the actual action to mother because the noun is simply a female who birthed offspring. It’s so much more than that. To mother is “to treat a person with great kindness and love and to try to protect them from anything dangerous or difficult”… and such is life. So, to all of you protectors and caregivers out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
With much love from our crew of mothers, grandmothers, (ahem) soon to be Great Grandmother, and fur baby mothers

Hello Again,
Since receiving my products, I have become an even greater fan.
From the timeliness to the careful packaging, it was all impressive.

For emotional use, we really prefer inhalation, from a personal inhaler or just a drop on a tissue. Using a few drops (proper dilution) in a hand and body lotion is also appropriate. Room diffusion is always an option if you want to change the “emotional climate” of a space, or for a group, but personal inhalation is truly more effective on an individual basis.

This is my 3rd time buying this & it’s just as good as it ever was.
If you want to transfer (bc this is a solid waxy mass) heat up rice for a minute, then put the bottle in it or run hot water over the bottle.
A beautiful, very relaxing oil that just eases stress and tension. It enables me to stop holding my breath.. It’s the only essential oil my body never rejects, even when I have a migraine.
it makes me feel lost in my head in a good way
really helped me find the one I needed for the skin around my osotomy. thank you for being here
I use a lot of St. John’s Wort infused oil for the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Nature’s Gift is the best I’ve found.
