Green Valley Aromatherapy – February 2019
Here it is again, February, the most disliked month of the year. Statistics show that there are more suicides in February than in any other month. Storms and power outages can keep you home dark, damp and cold. Schools sometimes have to send the children home. If mum and dad are working, they have to get time off to rescue their offspring.
On the positive side, the days are getting longer and the little green shoots are starting to appear in the garden. At our previous house, we had a lot of snow drops and I miss them. We have Daffodils, tulips and crocus at our new house, but nothing compares to the snow drops which are so delicate looking but strong. They are the first bulbs to push up through the ground and survive through all the rain, snow, freezing temperatures and howling winds.
We have a new blend to introduce to you. It is called Citrus Delight and comprises of Eucalyptus Citriodora, Sweet Orange, Lime, Lemon, Palo Santo, Cedarwood and Vanilla. This blend is amazing and guaranteed to titillate your senses.

Profile on Rose essential oil:
Rose essential oil, aka Rose Otto, is steam distilled from the petals of Rosa centifolia. This makes it different from Rose Absolutewhich is obtained through solvent extraction.
Rose essential oil is known as the Queen of all oils. Cleopatra was known to bathe in water into which rose oil and rose petals had been added. It was said to keep her skin beautiful and her mind calm.
Rose essential oil has been suggested for grief, hysteria, depression, PMS, menopause, impotence, frigidity, heart palpitations and skin problems.
Profile on Heart chakra blend:
The essential oils chosen for this blend are Geranium, Lavender, Mandarin, and Ylang Ylang.
Profile on evening primrose:
Evening Primrose Oil is thought to prevent the skin from premature aging. This would be a good oil to start with if you are interested in making your own skin care products. This amazing carrier oil comes from a beautiful and delicate flower that blooms at around 4pm and stays in flower through to mid-morning the following day.
