Eczema<br />

Fever (Mild)<br />

Headaches<br />

Indigestion<br />

Insomnia<br />

Nausea<br />

Palpitations (seek<br />

medical advice as<br />

palpitations can<br />

indicate a serious heart<br />

problem)<br />

PMT<br />

Psoriasis<br />

Massage: At 1% dilution yarrow, patchouli, sandalwood,<br />

chamomile, evening primrose and avocado can be used<br />

separately.<br />

Bath: Try any of the same essences.<br />

Sponging: In 1 litre (2 pints) of tepid water use 4 drops<br />

lavender, 1 drops bergamot, 1 drop eucalyptus, 1 drop<br />

peppermint.<br />

Topical Application: Neat lavender essence to the<br />

temples.<br />

Handkerchief inhalation: Try peppermint, rosemary or<br />

eucalyptus.<br />

Massage: Massage the abdominal area with lavender,<br />

chamomile, thyme and rosemary.<br />

Massage: lavender, sandalwood, frankincense, neroli can<br />

all be used before bed.<br />

Baths: Take a bath at least 2 hours before going to bed.<br />

Although a bath with any of the essences listed above<br />

will be relaxing, baths cause core blood to rush to the<br />

skin as the body cools itself, and this is not always<br />

conducive to peaceful sleep.<br />

Light massage of the abdominal region: If caused by<br />

anxiety use lavender or neroli. If caused by indigestion<br />

try lemon or tangerine.<br />

Massage: Despite its reputation as an aphrodisiac, ylangylang<br />

is ideal as it slows and regulates the heart rate.<br />

Baths: Short baths with lavender or neroli are calming if<br />

the palpitations are caused by nervous shock. Be careful<br />

though as some heart conditions are exacerbated by<br />

warm or hot baths.<br />

Massage: Massage of the abdominal region with<br />

lavender, neroli and rose is indicated.<br />

Baths: Use of the same essences will be beneficial.<br />

Massage: Use of emollient base oils is indicated, such as<br />

evening primrose and avocado. To this add peppermint,<br />

bergamot, or yarrow.<br />
