The most difficult question you can ask any Aromatherapist
is ‘What are your Top Three oils?’, but I’ll give it a go! My number one oil can change daily depending on my mood and
who I am working with at the time. I might open a tiny bottle of an essential
not used for a while and think ’this has got to be my favourite, why have I neglected
it for so long?’, then that can all change the next day! Having said that I nearly always return to the classic oil
Frankincense, mainly because of its power to visibly calm and comfort. |

As the temperatures plummet we do not automatically think of
reaching for essential oils to help keep warm, however there are a group of
essential oils that can be described as being ‘warming’ to the body. These oils
have a rubefacient effect on the body which means that when they are applied
topically they cause the dilation of capillaries and an increase in blood
circulation which brings heat to the area and can significantly ease aches and
pains.
Such essential oils not only bring heat to the areas applied
but they can awaken dull senses, lift the spirits, they can stimulate sluggish
circulation and digestion and many of these warming oils also have emollient
properties helping to calm and soothe dry, irritated skin that can often occur
during the colder months. |
