Almost 4 years ago
I worked with Caroline Bartle of @3Uknz & @3SpiritTraining to create this wee infographic
I thought it worth another share during #AromatherapyAwarenessWeek
"When words escape us
the senses connect to our very essence"

There's a lovely study (Kilstoff and Chenoweth) where essential oils with massage between the care partner & a person living with dementia show improved relationships & less carer burden
with no side effects
#AromatherapyAwarenessWeek #CarersWeek2024 #carers #enable #holistic
According to studies I've read lately there were no side effects when using essential oils therapeutically
Although reactions & side effects are rare
essential oils can be subtle & powerful
Here's Jenny's story

It's not always easy to source ethically
So I mostly use Kobashi
who provide a range of thoughtfully sourced oils
organic
organically grown
naturally farmed
wild picked sustainably
& tested for nasties

Here's a handy wee essential oil 1st aid kit I use & sometimes gift to people
Lavender: minor burns
Ti-tree: antiseptic/disinfectant
Lemon: cold sores
OOH AH! Muscle Rub: aches & pains

Clients are often amazed at the power of essential oils
as I carefully count the drops into their bespoke blend
how they ease pain
discomfort
fight disease
heal scars
We just need to remember where opiates &
aspirin come from
#AromatherapyAwarenessWeek #aromatherapy #holistic
This is why it's important to get to know a person before prescribing essential oils
& why mixing a fresh bespoke blend with each treatment is best practice
What's your favourite essential oil & why?
