Green Valley Aromatherapy – October 2023
Dear Aromatherapy Friends,
Happy October! What a wonderful mix of beautiful, balmy fall days for outside fun and stormy weather that makes inside just so cozy!
We at Green Valley Aromatherapy hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, in whatever form you celebrated it.
Our staff are finding this special time to be quite inspiring and motivating. Whether breaking out our trusty slow-cooker for delicious home made soups and stews, to tending the garden – clearing out the old, and planting new bulbs and seeds to slumber until spring; we all quite enjoy immersing ourselves in the autumnal goodness.
Have a beautiful October!
Aromatically yours,
Barb Greenwood
Profile on cajaput essential oil
Indigenous to tropical regions in Australia and Southeast Asian countries, Cajaput essential oil is best known as an antiseptic, and is an excellent treatment, when inhaled, for the relief of symptoms of the common cold and other respiratory infections.
It has analgesic qualities, making it an effective essential oil for earaches and headaches.
Cajaput may also be helpful with arthritis, rheumatism, muscular aches, acne, psoriasis and insect bites. It has been traditionally used to repel lice and fleas.

Profile on chamomile hydrosol
Chamomile hydrosol has a soothing effect on the nervous system, helping to reduce stress, depression and aggravation while helping with relaxation and insomnia. This hydrosol is also wonderful when used in skincare, helping to soothe rashes (including razor rash), acne, irritations and sunburns.
Generally well tolerated by children, Chamomile hydrosol can help to calm them before bed by adding a couple of tablespoons to their bath water or giving their pillow a spritz.

This day celebrates all forms of art — paintings, sculpture, photography, architecture, music, and more. Through this celebration we show our respect for the passion and creativity in all artists.
Ways you can celebrate International Artists Day include:
-Buying a piece of art. A wonderful way to support and promote our favourite artists, most especially those local talents!
-Host or attend an art night. This can be done on small or large scales and can be done using any number of mediums; whether it be paint, collage, fibre, clay or anything else your heart desires.
-Visit an art museum or local art show.
“Ah, Lovely October, as you usher in the season that awakens my soul, your awesome beauty compels my spirit to soar like an leaf caught in an autumn breeze and my heart to sing like a heavenly choir.”
