Aromatherapy Recipes

Aromatherapy recipes for nearly every ailment are numerous, and books for aromatherapy recipes can be easily found at any good book store, or on websites dedicated to aromatherapy on the World Wide Web. Let us examine a few.

Here are a couple of aromatherapy recipes for helping insomnia. The first one requires about ten drops of roman chamomile oil, about five drops of clary sage oil, and about five drops of bergamot oil. Mix these oils together in a clean, dark colored bottle. Add one to two drops of this blend to a tissue or clean handkerchief and put this inside your pillow to help you fall asleep. You can also put this blended oil into a diffuser about hour before bedtime to help make you feel relaxed and drowsy.

Lavender can also be used to help relax and make you sleep, but do not use more than one to two drops as anymore than this can cause the opposite effect of making you feel awake and refreshed. Combining lavender with bergamot and/or lemon oils can help make the sluggishness of that feeling of “brain drain” go away, leaving one feeling refreshed and wakeful.
