Some aromatherapy summer tips from
Nicola's Still Room
For Mosquito Bites
Use Lavender oil directly on the bite, 2 drops every hour, until inflammation reduces
To Keep Mozzies Away
Try adding the following essential oils to an aromatherapy candle diffuser (ceramic container with tea light, and dish on top, add water then following essential oils), or an electric diffuser - no need to add water
Clove x2 drops
Lemongrass x4 drops
Lemon Eucalyptusx 3 drops
For Sun Burn
Take 1 tablespoon of aloe vera and add 5 drops of lavender, gently massage over area, and double quantity if required for larger areas. Use often as required. May be used on face and body. Skin patch test first to avoid skin allergies.
Hydrate and Tone
Parched Skin
To refresh dehydrated skin you can either make your own face mist with 4 floz purified water, 10 drops Damask Rose oil, 25 drops of lavender, keep refrigerated use during day and at night.
OR
Visit my apothecary store where you will find the Nicci Fleur de Vie, Damask Rose Hydrator which is similar to the above, but with added milk amino acids, sea algae to firm and other lovely nutrients to freshen and uplift.

Why Use Aromatherapy?
The tiny secretory sacs found in plants and flowers contain essential oils in minute quantities. These oils are used for the plant's survival. Different plants will have special chemotypes which work with our own bodies in many instances to:
- Reduce anxiety
- Improve blood pressure
- Support womens' health issues
- Strengthen immune function
- Accelerate surgical site healing
- Improve sleep
- Give you beautiful skin ...
Are just some of the many benefits that may be experienced. Of course, we all react differently, what may work for you may not work for another, so remain open to the use of essential oils and enjoy!

Welcome everyone to the first edition of the Aromatherapy Apothecary. I hope you're enjoying the summer. As I write this from my 'Still Room' (an olde English term for the room where you make all your herbal preparations), I am immersed in the lovely exotic warm smell of Damask Rose oil which I am adding to jojoba oil to create a soothing anti-inflammatory night time face preparation. This is the perfect blend for mature, dry skin that needs hydration, and brings a beautiful bloom and softness when applied at night.
Many of you are receiving this newsletter because you either purchased my Nicci Fleur de Vie skin care or the renowned Clear products, were previous aromatherapy students with me, reiki students, clients, or have attended the aromatherapy presentations I often give.
If you would prefer not to receive future emails ensure you unsubscribe. However, I hope this won't be the case since these monthly news tips will give you some practical and informative ways in which to use essential oils effectively at home for your health and well-being.
I hope you enjoy this aromatic journey and I look forward to hearing from you with your views and what you would like to learn more about.
Warm Wishes
Nicola

The Essence Of Nature
The use of essential oils over the centuries has been extensive and effective. The field of Clinical Aromatherapy is now seen as a branch of plant medicine, phytotherapy, and on-going research supports the claims that aromatherapy is so much more than just a nice smell.Full Article

Using Aromatherapy effectively for your health and well-being
Its easy to use essential oils at home to support your health and well-being. For example, a headache or the beginning of a migraine can be addressed with blending 1 tbspn sweet almond oil, 3 drops of peppermint and 5 drops of lavender and applying to the temples and back of neck. You can also use the same oils in a base of 1/2 floz of purified water, depending on your preference.For high blood pressure, blend 1 floz of sweet almond oil, 6 drops of Ylang Ylang and 9 drops of lavender, and massage your chest area x 2 daily after showering, whilst the skin is warm, for greater absorption. In my experience I have seen my clients greatly benefit from this blend, however, each one of us is unique, this blend may or may not help you, but smells exotic and delicious.For times when you should avoid using essential oils visit:Using Essential Oils WiselyTo purchase oils visit:Aroma 1 Essential Oils
