Greetings!

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

I have just joined the group and would like to introduce myself. My

name is Diane and am eager to learn and share with you.

I developed an interest in Aromatherapy quite by accident. Although I

had been interested in alternative forms of healing, I

had never given aromatherapy much thought until I glanced down at a

display of essential oils at the local health food store.

 

I remember it was a really cold, wet, winter afternoon and I was

feeling quite depressed, I saw these little bottles and picked

one up to take a sniff. Well, it happened to be grapefruit and I was

overwhelmed! I sniffed again and I started to feel like a

new person, sniffed once more and felt that the sun had just come

out—so profound was the effect that I immediately started

reading everything I could about the subject and have been " hooked "

ever since.

 

The thing that amazed me was how quickly I reacted to the scent, I

have suffered from asthma and allergies for all my life and

ususally can't smell much of anything, but the essential oils I could

smell. And it lifted my depression instantly! Since then I

have been incorporating essential oils into my daily life, using them

in all sorts of ways from the bath & shower, room sprays,

and healing blends. A stubborn acne condition was cleared using an

essential oil blend and I have found that they often

work better and quicker than some of my prescription decongestants!

 

I am hoping to learn more about these wonderful oils from this list

and am interested in other's experiences. All of the blends

I use I have gotten from books as I do not feel experienced enough to

try and blend any of my own and hope to learn more

from all of you! I am would love any suggestions for

asthma/allergies/sinusitis blends.

 

Thank you!

Diane from New Jersey
