Aromatherapy for Women Beginners
More on aromatherapy at
I have been using essential oils for years already. I find
them invaluable for first aid, stress, flu, cramps, baby's colic and a myriad of
other uses.
The oils most valuable to a woman are
Rose oil is the queen of
the oils.
 |
Rose oil cheers a woman during depression or when she
feels unloved. It makes her feel pampered. |
 |
Rose oil is also said to be an aphrodisiac. It is
classified as a feminine oil. |
 |
Rose oil can be used to relieve the stress,
depression |
 |
In the old days, rose oil was used to help a person fight
off viral attacks. |
 |
Rose oil is great for skin care. It is gentle for the
skin. Suitable for mature skin, sensitive skin, dry skin, normal skin. In
fact, I use it on my oily, acne prone, sensitive skin and I love it. |
Caution: Do not use rose oil during pregnancy Rose oil self massage
for tense shoulders and back.
Chamomile oil is a soothing, gentle oil suitable for babies.
Chamomile oil is also a woman's oil. Especially during that time of the month.
 |
Chamomile relieves period cramps when diluted and applied
in clockwise directions on the abdomen |
 |
Chamomile relieves baby's colic when diluted (1 drop of
oil to 1 tablespoon of a carrier oil and
applied in clockwise directions on the abdomen. |
 |
Chamomile soothes a baby and helps baby sleep better. Put
1 drop of chamomile oil in the baby bath. |
 |
Chamomile oil helps relieve the depression and
irritability during PMS. |

Do not use chamomile oil during pregnancy
Lavender oil is the
most versatile of the oils
Lavender is one of the exceptions as it can be used undiluted
on the skin in emergencies.
 |
Lavender oil applied undiluted, directly on a very mild
burn immediately, helps the skin heal much more quickly and with less
scarring (If any). You still must seek help for burns. |
 |
Lavender oil applied into a cut helps ease the pain and
helps the skin heal faster. |
 |
Lavender oil applied on knocks and bumps ease pain and
helps healing with minimal bruising. (If any) |
 |
Lavender oil combined with eucalyptus oil, or lavender oil
combined with tea tree oil can help a person fight off a viral infection.
Use diluted in a bath, or diluted in a body lotion. Diffuse in the room. I
use that for my kids when they are sick. |
 |
Lavender oil is great for insomnia. If you are too
stressed, add a few drops of lavender oil to your bath. Add a drop to of
lavender oil to your body lotion before applying it. Add a drop to your
pillow. That will help you sleep. A more sedative mix would be 2 drops
lavender oil, 1 drop geranium oil in 1 tablespoon of a carrier
oil used to massage your body and the soles of your feet. |
 |
Lavender oil is excellent for normal skin, mature skin,
combination skin, pimply skin and oily skin. Check out lavender

Do not use lavender oil during the first 5 months of
pregnancy.
Tea Tree Oil the antiseptic
antifungal antiviral oil
Sceptics would think that one oil cannot possibly be
anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal. But Tea tree oil has been used
effectively for all these purposes. In fact, it is accepted as a form of first
aid, sold in pharmacies together with the first aid supplies.
 |
Tea Tree oil is anti-viral. It boosts a person's immunity
against viruses. Mixed with lavender oil, it is said to be even more
effective than the traditional lavender oil eucalyptus oil combination to
help a person fight off a viral infection. |
 |
Tea Tree oil is used to treat boils. Apply undiluted 3
times daily to the boil to kill off the bacteria that causes the boil |
 |
Tea Tree oil for first aid. Disperse a few drops of tea
tree oil in some clean water and use it to wash the wound. |
 |
I apply sometimes undiluted tea tree oil in disinfect cuts
on my skin. But some people cannot use tea tree oil undiluted on their skin
as it can irritate their skin very badly. |

The final oil on the list is mandarin oil. It is a citrus oil
