Essential Oils For Nerve Pain Case Study: CRPS

September 2, 2020 Leave your thoughts

Working with essential oils for nerve pain can be tricky. My advice is to start slow and work up as nerves really are sensitive. It’s like eating ice with an exposed nerve or receded gum line. You have to be aware of several factors so you can properly assess and formulate a helpful blend using essential oils for nerve pain, without overstimulating the pain. What is their sensitivity level? Where is the pain? How long have they had the pain? What is their pain level on a scale of 1-10? Current tissue state? Hot or cold? Wet or Dry? Tense... Read More

Why Does One Aromatherapy Method Work Over Another?

December 29, 2018 Leave your thoughts

I get asked this question a lot from students – “why does one application method work over another?”. Or “Does one application method in aromatherapy work better than others?” Bottom line, it comes down to three factors – the purpose of your aromatherapy blend, the contents or ingredient list and user compliance. If someone does not take baths and only prefers showers, a “bath salt” might not be the best option. You may consider a shower gel. Experience of Application Methods Completing case studies as a student gives you first-hand experience, working with different personalities, different blending techniques and... Read More

Aromatherapy is such a broad term these days. So many people have essential oils, diffusers and some form of carrier oils or bases.

Grapefruit Essential Oil Benefits: A Mover & Shaker Oil

June 6, 2018 Leave your thoughts

Ah, the smell of grapefruit is refreshing and uplifting. One of my all-time favorite aromatherapy combinations is grapefruit mixed with peppermint essential oil. It smells like cotton candy to me (minus the heavy sugary scent). It reminds me of run, refuels my spirit and invigorates my soul.

Grapefruit, being a citrus oil, is most notes as being a mood elevator. However, it does so much more for the body. It is a key... Read More

Scent Defenders: Heighten Awareness and Minimize Personal Attack Invasion

May 3, 2018 Leave your thoughts

How do you protect yourself when you feel attacked? It certainly is not a good feeling when you allow someone to invade your personal and mental space. You give them power when you do this. You open yourself up to receive their personal attack and negativity. Keep in mind, everyone is at a different place in their healing process in life. Some have not learned the skill to work through their grief, anger, fear and bitterness. Others are in the midst of healing, and may experience emotional diarrhea (emotions all over the place). And others have learned how to use... Read More

Helichrysum, aka the “deep wound healer”, is one of my absolutely favorite essential oils! It is a powerful healer of the mind, body, spirit and soul, especially when the wounds are deep.
