Author: Rebecca White
 

You can find most if not all of these essential oils in your own hometown by looking up natural food stores or doing a Google search from your computer.

Bergamot: soothing, uplifting, and good for tension and depression

Chamomile: Calming, suitable for insomnia

Jasmine: a stimulant or a sedative, according to need

Lavender: very useful and popular oil, used in relaxing and as an antidepressant and painkiller

Lemon Balm: Long used to banish melancholy: it balances the emotions

Rosemary: Refreshing and stimulating

Sandalwood: Used as an antidepressant and aphrodisiac

Vetiver: balances the nervous system, good for insomnia

Ylang Ylang: Calming: used as an aphrodisiac and good for panic attacks

Different ways to use Essential oils:

Vaporization: Filling a room with the aroma of your choice is the easiest way to enjoy essential oils. Add a few drops to a saucer of water and place on a radiator or in a burner.

Massage: You can blend essential oils with carrier oil like almond, vegetable or apricot oil and use when you receive or give a massage. Blend 6 drops of essential oils with about 3-4 tsp of the carrier oil; if the scent is too strong use more carrier oil. Massage the oil into the area of the body that is tense, if you are using it to relax rub it into your temples and the neck so that the fragrance reaches your nose and inhaling the essential oils will help you calm down.

Baths: Only add non-irritant oils to bathwater such as Roman Chamomile and Lavender without diluting first, others to be safe dilute in a carrier oil first then add to your bath water, add the oils after the bath is drawn and not while the water is running otherwise most of it will be lost in the steam of the running water.
