Using essential oils
for air diffusion, massage and baths is very common today among people who use
aromatherapy to benefit their overall well-being. Essential oils can also be used as remedies
for minor common skin and health problem.
Below are five useful remedies.
Hay Fever
Put a few drops of
Roman Chamomile on a tissue and sniff frequently. Keep in a zip lock bag to take with you
wherever you go.
Bruises
Soak a white wash
cloth in cold witch hazel (store your witch hazel in the refrigerator) and
apply to bruised area. Repeat 3 or 4
times a day. At night, mix 3 drops
Lavender with 1 tsp. carrier oil such as grape seed oil and gently massage into
bruised area.
PMS
To help reduce
irritability, put 10 drops Roman Chamomile, 5 drops Lavender and 5 Drops
Melissa into a warm tub and soak for 20 minutes. Allow skin to air dry for the most part
before toweling off. Be prepared to go
to bed immediately after your bath as you will probably feel very relaxed and
sleepy.
Nausea
Sniff Peppermint or
Ginger directly from the essential oil bottle.
Also sip Chamomile, Peppermint or Ginger tea if your stomach allows.
Sore Throat
Mix 1 drop Marjoram in
1 cup warm water and gargle. Repeat
twice a day.
