Beat the Blues with Essential Oils

GOT THE BLUES???

Post natal depression testimony

I opted for aromatherapy and tried jasmine oil, rose otto, neroli oil, ylang ylang and lavender oil in a blend and  placed several drops on a handkerchief which I placed under my pillow at night and found it to be hugely successful!  It is surprising how a pleasant smell can affect your emotions.  I think they help balance your hormones, but whatever this does it worked for me.  I carried the handkerchief around with me during the day to discretely smell and calm down.  After several deep whiffs, I felt great.

AROMATIC BATH FOR THE BLUES

¼ cup honey (or almond or jojoba oil)

3 drops of YL Lavender oil

3 drops YL Ylang Ylang oil

2 drops YL Basil oil

2 drops YL Geranium oil

1 drop of YL Grapefruit oil   Mix the essential oils in the honey and fill a warm bath and soak & Breathe Deeply!

ELATION FORMULATION

A concentrated massage oil blend for mild depression:

2 T. sweet almond oil

1 t.  wheat germ oil

8 drops each of Lavender and Ylang Ylang essential oil

2 drops each of Basil, Geranium, Bergamot essential oil

Collect oils in an amber glass bottle and add the sweet almond oil /wheat germ oil.  Shake gently before use and apply a small amount on the back of your hands, neck and heart area.  Inhale deeply and apply 2-3 times for best results

DEPRESSION AND INSOMNIA

Depression can be a major cause of insomnia.  St. John’s wort, Melissa and Frankincense have been proven to be highly effective in reducing depression.  Calcium/Magnesium, potassium and other minerals deficiencies can contribute to insomnia/depression.  NingXia Red is the best source of carefully balanced, absorbable minerals.
