(Part 2)
If you are working with your Chakras, these blends will help to balance or support the individual Chakra that may not be working too well.

I would like to point out that these little miracles will work in other areas of your life as well,  to help you with various problems. I have taken a look at the blends, looking at the properties of each oil that makes up the blend, and have made a table of between 2-4 of the uses for each oil. With this information I hope to show you additional benefits of these blends, aside from their usefulness with the Chakras.

Throat Chakra Blend

Essential oil	Uses
Cedarwood	Anti-fungal	Antiseptic	Sedative
Ginger	Analgesic	Aphrodisiac	Carmminative
Lemon	Immuno-stimulant	Antidepressant	Lymph Stimulant

If you are feeling anxious, frustrated or depressed, the Throat Chakra blend contains antidepressant, sedative and calming oils. These oils along with an Immuno-stimulant help to boost your mood when you are feeling down, tired and have no interest in anything. Ginger is an Analgesic which will help to ease any pain you may have. This blend would be good in the bath before bed to help you have a good night's sleep. Diffusing it during the day would help with anxiety and lethargy.

 Third Eye Chakra Blend

Essential oil	Uses
Amyris	Stress Reliever	Calming	Sedative
Basil	Analgesic	Anti-inflammatory	Stimulant
Benzoin	Anti-inflammatory	Antioxidant	Circulatory

The Third Eye Chakra blend I see as being a good blend for sports people as it has two excellent anti-inflammatory essential oils and an analgesic. So, after your soccer game or whatever you were doing to use your muscles, soak in a nice warm bath with 10 drops of this blend. After your bath, add 10 drops to 10 mls of carrier oil and massage your legs or any part that might possibly be inflamed from overuse. Diffuse the blend in your car for its benefits to the circulation and for its stimulating properties.

Crown Chakra Blend

Essential oil	Uses
Roman Chamomile	Immuno-stimulant	Analgesic	Anti-depressant
Geranium	Balancing	Diuretic	Anti-depressant
Orange	Tonic	Uplifting	Lymph stimulator
Palma Rosa	Cytophylactic	Anti-infectious	Digestive Stimulant

I see the Crown Chakra blend as being good for people who have been sick or may be depressed and who need a little support to gain back their energy and get back to enjoying life. The cytophylactic properties in the Palma Rosa increase the activity of leukocytes (white blood cells). You need this to fight off any infections, especially when your body is not operating on all cylinders while you have been sick. The digestive stimulant helps you to regain your appetite, the lymph stimulator helps keep your defenses up and protect you, and then throw in a balancing oil, uplifting oil and a tonic. What more do you need?

Thymus Chakra Blend

Essential oil	Uses
Myrhh	Anti-fungal	Antiviral	Anti-inflammatory
Orange	Mild Sedative	Antidepressant	Anti-toxic
Petitgrain	Antidepressant	Nervine	Sedative

I think the Thymus Chakra blend would be good for students going back to school after the summer holidays. Too often we hear of our young people getting anxious about new teachers, new school and new friends. This blend is mildly sedative, antidepressant and nervine (which is a tonic for the nerves). If you put some drops on a piece of kitchen roll and put it in the bottom of their school bags, add a few drops to their bath, and a cotton ball in their PJ pockets, you will notice the difference. The other good thing with this blend is that it is anti-fungal, anti-toxic, and antiviral to deal with the different kinds of bugs and germs brought in by other students.

I profiled the other 4 Chakra blends in our June newsletter.

"Greetings to you!

I would like to share a small story of the successful surprise effect of your Lavender and Stress Buster oils. We had the misfortune to experience this past November, the hit and run of our five year old German Shepherd, Lex. He was extremely fortunate to survive, with only a few injuries and minimal complications.

He had a slight concussion, bleeding from his nose, a fractured rib, and multiple bruising around his heart and his lungs. We consider him very fortunate to have only received minimal physical damage. Emotionally he was quite drained, combined with his somewhat weakened body; he found it a little challenging to rest comfortably.

Though I think my original intent to use your Stress Buster blend was for bringing comfort to the humans in the house, the response from Lex was quite interesting. He became much more settled, rested contentedly and his breathing was always even. He became relaxed and reassured while the diffusion gently moved throughout our home.

I did reduce the number of drops due to the sensitivity of a dog's nose, and once in a while, interchanged it with Lavender. We use the oils every day and every night. As Lex looks forward to the days ahead, often wagging his tail, eager to play, it will be however a long and slow recovery. He becomes exhausted so easily. We know it will take time for his stamina and strength to return.

The Stress Buster oil and the Lavender oil will continue to be part of his recovery therapy. Oh, we also have a cat, whose demeanor subtly calms as well when he has spent time indoors! As a family, we are all grateful for the scents of the oils, and their unique ability to reach deeply inside to calm and reassure us all.

With kind regards,
Dianne H. and Lex "
