Essential Oil and Flower Essence
Blends for Aromatherapy

Below you will find an index of essential oil blends for calming, sleep, release of tension, and more.

Some of the aromatherapy blends are for specific usage, i.e., essential oils for massage, in the bath, in combination with burning candles. Other aromatherapy blends may be used with any of these methods, and may also be put into a diffuser or aromalamp or into a misting bottle. For quick relief you can shake a drop or two of essential oils into a tissue and slowly inhale.

Preparation of aromatherapy massage oils and the use of essential oils in diffusers require a base oil. My favorite is rapeseed (canola oil). We also recommend almond, jojoba and safflower oils.

For each of these blends I've also recommended flower essences. For those of you unfamiliar with flower essences: they, unlike essential oils, contain only miniscule amounts of plant material. They contain the energetic pattern of the flower (which makes them somewhat akin to homeopathic remedies, except that flower essence energies are even more subtle in their effects).

In combination essential oils and flower essences can help us accomplish healing on many levels. Their use isn't limited to massage; flower essences are effective when rubbed on pulse points, and it would be even more pleasant to rub a fragrant aromatherapy blend onto the temples, throat or wrists.

Note: I recommend several flower essences for each blend. To choose those best for you go to Bach Flower Remedy Descriptions or FES Flower Essence Descriptions.
