Why these Oils were chosen: Rosemary ct. camphor: · Traditionally used to support mental clarity, memory retention, recall, and concentration. · How it works is that rosemary essential oil is a cholinergic agent that prevents the breakdown of key neurotransmitters and increases brain-boosting activity via inhalation. It interacts with and inhibits acetylcholine breakdown due to rosemary's high 1,8-cineole content (23.38%), a known acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Acetylcholine is essential for processing, memory, and concentration, so by inhibiting the enzymes that break it down, rosemary keeps high levels of this neurotransmitter active in the brain, a similar mechanism to how some pharmaceutical drugs are given to dementia patients.

Have you upgraded to Premium yet? If not, why not? 😊What are you waiting for? One of the benefits of Premium membership is our monthly Sunday Evening Relax. We chat about all things complementary therapy and obviously essential oils, the crux of our tribe! We might do a wee meditation, I'm thinking a wee taster of Queen Hatshepsut this month. Discuss some simple self help techniques you can use on yourself or your clients if you are a therapist. A Q&A part, there are a plethora of different therapists in our tribe. Our monthly meets are very much "go-with-the-flow" and led by yourselves. Here's the link for more details: https://www.skool.com/maverick-aromatherapy-3200/monthly-sunday-evening-relax-2

I have to share!! I let a knee issue go too long before i had it replaced. In the meantime my ankle started swelling. I also had had a recent hip replacement and was sleeping in a recliner because my new memory foam bed was too soft and i could nit get out of it in the morning. My ankle was swollen every day, all day long!! That is where i was two months ago. In the meantime i purchased a new bed that goes up and down to help me get out of it and it has a lovely relaxing vibrator in the top half of the bed. I also found a cream which had gingko bilboa in it which was for the lymphedema. My ankle was swelling every day and I had literally given up hope that it would be normal again. I noticed after finally getting used to the new firm bed that my ankle was less swollen. When it did swell I used the gingko cream on it. Now i am no longer using the cream. I am sleeping iin the bed all night long and my ankle is no longer swollen every day. Yesterday, i was on my feet all day long helping a friend stock her booths in antique stores. No swelling. I am so pleased. I just had to share.

For those who are Clinical Aromatherapists, I would love to see some pictures or even a video tour of your Clinic/Dispensary. Many Aromatherapy Students in this day and age get their certifications via distance or online education platforms, especially those whose education is an IFPA, IFA, or NAHA-recognized one, as massage and Face-to-face learning and in-person Student Clinic (with Overseeing Mentors) are not mandatory with these associations requirements for certification As a result, when students begin to do their case studies or even when they have graduated and received their certification, they don't know how to set up a professional-looking Clinic/Dispensary, what the minimum requirements are that they should have, etc. More often than not, they learn this through trial, error, and lots of wasted $$$$$ Unfortunately, at this stage, I am not working within a Clinic/Dispensary (still a Student), though I do plan to show where I store my ingredients (essential oils, beeswax, pumice powder, etc) in the coming week or two. Until then, here is a video by well-known UK Certified Clinical Aromatherapist, Massage Therapist, and Reflexology (along with many other qualifications) Victoria Spriggs, giving a tour of her Clinic.

@Connie Durnin who during yesterdays First Aid Kit for the Home class told us she uses Plai to get relief from Hay Fever symptoms. The more regularly used EO is Ravensara, but I had completely forgotten that Plai also has Antihystamine properties as well.... yes, even a teacher can forget things sometimes! 😊 Connie had dowsed herself for an EO and Plai popped up for her and she says it does afford her relief from the usual runny nose etc. Further though, today I had a client who is trying for a baby. Before she left she asked me if there was an oil she could use for it. Obviously the Ravensara was out of the question as it shouldn't be used in pregnancy, but I didn't want to take any chances. Funnily enough she much prefered the scent pf the Plai to the Ravensara. So, thank you Connie, for the reminder yesterday!!! ❤️
