You have been irritated by things all day. You are getting to the breaking point. You are being to feel as though you have no choice but to ‘hold your ground’. You are not sure if your feelings could escalate in to a true aggressive encounter or not. You need to get control. You remember you can use Essential Oils to begin to quell those feelings before you proceed into doing something you will regret later.

Using Essential Oils to overcome any undesirable emotional concern is welcome by all. Essential Oils used for aggression can be very helpful, but you must remember to use them. Great Essential Oils to use for aggression include: Roman Chamomile, Lavender, Bergamot and Marjoram. Others include: Juniper, Rosemaryand Ylang Ylang .

We suggest you start with one or two of the above oils. Simply place in an Inhaler and take several deep inhalations as needed. If you feel you need more see our recipe section below for more recipes just for aggression.

If you are just irritated or irritable - try this blend. Although it does not contain any of the above mentioned oils, it may take the edge off before your emotions are triggered into the undesired aggression mood.

For irritability

• Nutmeg - 10 drops
• Sandalwood - 8 drops
• Petitgrain - 12 drops

Blend all in an amber bottle. Diffuse in any Diffuser or use in a Personal Inhaler.

Sensual Massage

• Cardamom - 2 drops
• Jasmine - 5 drops
• Sandalwood - 5 drops
• Rose Otto - 2 drops
• Apricot oil - 2 oz

Blend well and use for any sensual massage.

Anti-Aggression Personal Blend

• 1 tablespoon Jojoba
• Lemon - 4 drops
• Ylang Ylang - 3 drops
• Bergamot - 2 drops

Blend well and wear as a fragrance or omit the Jojoba and inhale just the Essential Oils when you are irritated.

(Omit the Lemon and Bergamot from the blend if you are wearing as a fragrance and will be exposing your skin to the sun. These are photo sensitizing oils and will cause discoloration of the skin where applied and when exposed to sun.)

Most of us go through periodic bouts of worry and stress, or times when our thoughts seem to go round and round like a hamster wheel.

Fortunately, there is sweet-smelling relief close at hand.

Find out which Essential Oils can help to settle your mind, alleviating worry, obsessive overthinking, and muddled Anxiety. We’ll also tell you how to make a simple and effective spray that you can use just about anywhere for soothing and comfort. You can even add it to your house-cleaning sprays!

Essential Oils of Marjoram and Chamomile help to quell the worry of a mind under pressure and in need of comfort. Camphoraceous and clarifying, yet sweet and reassuring, Marjoram oil is useful for hazy, fretful states of mental fatigue. It helps to settle those who feel they have no one to talk to, and must consequently struggle with their worries on their own. It�s also good for those who tend to worry incessantly about others.

Roman and German Chamomile oils are for the overthinking of the tense perfectionist, and for the person who finds it difficult to �switch off� from work.

Clary Sage is recommended for the type of overthinking that seems from a tense and changeable search for ideal solutions. Even when such a person has actually made a decision, they worry if it is right and whether they should change their mind.

Fennel oil�s ability to encourage self-_expression benefits those whose tendency to worry is exacerbated by a difficulty with communication. Thoughts and concerns �ferment� because they have no positive outlet.

Patchouli oil, like Vetiver, is rich and grounding, restoring awareness of the body and senses. Earthy and sweet, it is supportive to the Spleen, and always the worry that comes of excessive mental strain. Like Coriander seed oil, Patchouli gently stimulates the Mind, and through its spicy warmth uplifts and arouses. Patchouli and Coriander are suitable for the worry of the depressive, remote individual.

Lemon oil clears mental �congestion� — the plethora of thoughts that �bog down� the mind. Grapefruit disperses the worry that comes from Tension and frustration.

Geranium Essential Oil increases one�s awareness of the senses, helping to settle a restless and scattered mind. It�s indicated for people whose overthinking stifles and obscures the emotions. It may be used to encourage the capacity for receptivity and intuitive insight.

Cardamom oil is effective for worry in all its forms, grounding and inspiring contentment and tranquility. Cardamom is uplifting and clarifying, benefiting anxious, muddled, and depressive types.

Calming Mind Sprays

Place the oils in one cup of water in a spray bottle and shake well. Spray in the air or on non-staining surfaces.

For Obsessive Overthinking

• 4 drops Sandalwood
• 2 drops Vetiver

For Those Over-Preoccupied with Detail

• 3 drops Frankincense
• 2 drops Vetiver
• 1 drop Lemon

For Those who are Over-Analytical and Detached

• 3 drops Geranium
• 2 drops Sandalwood
• 1 drop Patchouli

Gnats and Midges Bites

Dilute 3 drops of Thyme in 1 teaspoon of cider vinegar or Lemon juice and apply to the bites. This should stop the irritation.

Or as an alternative, just dab on neat Lavender

Bedbugs and Flea Bites

To avoid risk of infection, bathe the bitten areas and apply neat Lavender. Alternatively, dilute 3 drops of Thyme in cider vinegar and apply over the bitten area. Eucalyptus is another option-use as you would Lavender.

These recipes were taken from “The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy” by Valerie Ann Worwood.

Swimmer’s Ear aka Otitis Externa

Fun in the sun and splashing in the water. This is part of the summer ritual for just about all kids! But what can happen with all that water - especially if it gets in the ears and never really gets a chance to dry out?

Bacteria and fungus love moist, warm conditions and if the ears don’t really get a chance to dry out your child may develop Otitis Externa - inflammation of the outer portion of the ear and canal. This problem can be mild to extremely painful.

With small or any children that complain of ear pain, please seek medical attention before using any aromatherapy or Essential Oil treatments. If the child has a perforated eardrum or an Otitis Media (middle Ear Infection) you will not want to use any Essential Oils without consulting with your medical practitioner.

If indeed the child has swimmer’s ear you will need to keep them out of the water for a few days to give the inflammation or mild infection a chance to heal.

Blend together 3 drops of Roman Chamomile, 1 drop of Lavender and 1 drop of Tea Tree in 1 tablespoon Sweet Almond oil. Then put several drops of this on a cotton ball and wipe the outer portion of the ear and you can also wipe into the ear canal. Do not poke cotton swabs (Q-tips) into the ear canal.

You can do this a couple times a day. Some children will tolerate a small piece of cotton held in place in the ear. If so, you can try this at bedtime with a small amount of the above blend on the cotton ball.

Dilute 3 drops of Lavender and 2 drops of Chamomile Essential Oil in a teaspoon of alcohol. Blend together well and apply to the area three times-over one day should suffice.
