Hints and Tips:
Oakmoss and Vetivert are earthy and good for grounding.
If you are on a tight budget or your sense of smell is easily confused, Frankincense oil can be used as a blender for most incenses, and can be used to purify any room or personal item.
If you suffer from asthma and find it hard to cope with incense smoke, use an equivalent blend of oils in an oil burner.
Geranium, Lime and Petitgrain are refreshing and can help increase confidence and lift depression.
Lavender, Hop, Marjoram and Valerian Root oils can be used to help insomnia (I sleep badly and have tried many oils singly or in combinations).
When washing your hair, a few drops of Sandalwood oil in the final rinse will leave your hair luxuriously perfumed all evening and night.
When using essential oils in the bath, if you can't afford bath oil as a dispersant, put the required number of drops of oil into a tablespoon of milk - it works just as well.
Never drop essential oils straight into the bath water - putting them in under a running tap destroys most of their beneficial properties. Also heavier oils like Sandalwood and Vetivert can sink straight to the bottom and stain your bath (our own bears testament to this!).
Finally, if you share your household with cats (as we do), don't dab Valerian Root oil anywhere or leave the bottle lying around; it's the next best thing to catnip, and having your feline tripping out on your pillow at 3am (see insomnia above) is not advisable!
