Recipes for the Relief of Cystitis, etc.

Oct24

Part I. Cystitis

Aromatherapy can be used as a natural and effective method for the relief of cystitis,

A. Massage for the lower abdomen

Compositions:
For 5 ml of the basic oil(s);

  1. 1 drop each of lavender, chamomile and bergamot
  2. 1 drop each of lavender, chamomile and sandalwood

Application:
Drop essential oils of the chosen composition into the basic oil(s). Massage the lower abdomen over the bladder area in a clockwise motion. If you are applying before bedtime place, а wool scarf, piece of material or small towel over the massaged area.

B. Hot compress

Composition:
5-6 drops of chamomile and 3 drops of tea tree, or sandalwood.

Application:
Drop essential oils of the chosen composition into a bowl of hot water. The water should be hot but not so hot that the compress is uncomfortable on the body. Make a wetting pad using a piece of material, or small towel and place in a bowl of essential oil mixture. Squeeze the cloth and apply to the areas to be treated, rewet as needed. Keep the compress on 20 minutes to 1 hour.
The process is less intense than a massage since it effects the skin and blood circulation only where the compress is placed. It will have a weak and gradual impact. The effects can last from several minutes to several hours, depending on how long the compress is left in place.

Part II. Infections of the Genitourinary System

Compositions:

  1. 4 drops of juniper and rosemary and 2 drops of benzoin
  2. 5 drops tea tree, 3 drops bergamot and 2 drops of chamomile

Aromatherapy Bath Recipes (Change State, Cold, Depression, PMS)

Jul15

Bathing with essential oils is one of the easiest ways to implement aromatherapy and its benefits. The relaxing properties of hot water compliment the effects of well-chosen essential oils. Aromatic baths are invigorating, refreshing and can provide relief from stress and anxiety, improve a woeful state of mind, premenstrual syndrome, assist with muscle pains, soothe frayed nerves at the end of a busy day, or offer a sensual introduction to a romantic evening with your partner.
I really love the water! Although my Zodiac sign is Aries (fire sign) by birth. My personal development is Cancer (water sign) . . . so I really love the bath with the addition of blends of essential oils. In fact, there are many recipes for the bath in different situations or medical conditions, but here I will cite only some of them.
It is especially important that you use an emulsifier in the bath. Otherwise, there is a risk that if the concentrated droplets of some essential oils come into direct contact with the skin, especially on more sensitive areas of the body, they can irritate or even burn. You can mix essential oil in a tablespoon of emulsifier such as vegetable or cosmetic oils, milk, cream, buttermilk, or honey. Add to the tub and mix well to ensure that the blend has dispersed well in the water.
Mix base oil and essential oil for storage in a tightly capped bottle. Amber or dark colored glass bottles are recommended. Choose a cool dark place for storage (not refrigerator) to preserve their freshness and potency. Shake well to mix before each use.

Here are some suggestions for making your own blends.

Relaxing
Mix 5 drops lavender oil and 2 drops each of ylang-ylang and rose oils.

Tonic
Mix 4 drops each of rosemary and peppermint oils and 2 drops sweet orange, tangerine or mandarin oil.

Refreshing
Mix 3 drops each of bergamot and rosewood oils and 2 drops grapefruit oil.

Awakening
Mix 3 drops each of rosemary and lemon oils and 2 drops eucalyptus or peppermint oil.

Enhancing sensuality or blend-aphrodisiacs
Mix 4 drops each ylang-ylang and sandalwood oils and 2 drops of sweet basil oil.

For colds
1. Mix 5 drops eucalyptus oil and 2 drops each of peppermint and lavender oils.

2. Mix 6 drops of eucalyptus oil and 3 drops each of frankincense and hyssop oils.

3. Mix 3 drops each of ginger and black pepper oils, 2 drops of nutmeg oil and 1 drop of lemongrass oil.

For depression
Mix 3 drops each of bergamot, lavender and rosewood oils and 2 drops of rose essential oil.

To improve a woeful and sad state:
Mix 3 drops each of sweet marjoram, lavender and rose oils and 1 drop cypress essential oil.

For PMS
1. Mix 3 drops each of lavender and Clary sage oils and 2 drops rose essential oil.

2. Mix 3 drops each of lavender and Clary sage oils and 2 drops of chamomile and geranium oils.
