Green Valley Aromatherapy – February 2023
Dear Aromatherapy Friends,
We never quite knew what to expect weather-wise in January…and I have a feeling February will be much the same! Several of our staff at Green Valley Aromatherapy have felt the urge to purge and have been indulging in some early spring cleaning. This is a nice way to shift the stagnant energy in your house, especially when you are stuck inside during nasty weather. Clean, fresh, invigorating scents like
Peppermint,
Spearmint,
Eucalyptus,
Orange,
Lemon,
Lemongrass,
Litsea Cubeba and
Rosemary can help keep your energy up while tackling the clutter.
Wishing you all a wonderful February.
Aromatically yours,
Barb Greenwood

profile on sweet almond oil
An excellent, and popular, carrier oil for body massage, Sweet Almond oil is rich in protein, as well as vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E.
Wonderfully hydrating for dry skin, it can help alleviate inflammation and reduce the appearance of scars and dark under-eye circles. With powerful antifungal properties, Sweet Almond oil can be an effective remedy in preventing athlete’s foot and ringworm. In hair treatments it can soften, strengthen and hydrate while also helping to balance the yeast on your scalp, which can sometimes lead to dandruff.
