Valentines Day is just around the corner, and whether you love it or loathe it, it provides an opportunity for us to talk about love. For many, February 14th symbolises romantic love: the giving and receiving of cards and gifts between partners. However, it can also be an opportunity to explore love and emotion at a deeper level, within ourselves.

A Week in the Life of an Essential Oil Kit
Alternative remedies, such as essential oils, can have something of an ethereal quality – a nice idea in theory, but how can we be sure they really work?
My client had experienced the benefits of individual oils and wanted to purchase an essential oils kit, for use by the whole family. I therefore asked them to make a diary of the oils they used, what they were used for, and how well they worked. Even better, they agreed to keep away from traditional medicines and, where possible, only use essential oils.

Introduction to Essential Oils
Essential oils are concentrated liquids found in plants that serve to protect, restore and respond to the plants environment. They are a mix of volatile organic compounds extracted from various parts of a plant, for example: seeds, bark, leaves, roots, stems or flowers, most commonly done through steam distillation. Citrus fruit peel is best processed differently through cold-pressing.
Introducing the Chakras
For those of us who are unfamiliar with Chakra work, the term may carry a rather mystical quality – associated with the recent wave of ‘new age medicine’. However, understanding chakras and their role in our health is a return to a more traditional and intuitive approach to medicine and healing.

Petitgrain Essential Oil
Three essential oils derive from the bitter orange tree: Petitgrain is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of the tree, Neroli is distilled from the blossoms, and Bitter Orange oil is produced by cold pressing the rinds of the fruits. Petitgrain has a fresh floral citrus scent with a woody herbaceous undertone that is popular with men as well as women, and is widely used in the perfumery industry. It’s Latin name is Citrus Aurantium.
Drinking the best water?
Approx 70% body weight should be water and the regular replenishment of fluid lost through urine and sweat is essential for our basic survival. If we do not replenish enough of this fluid, we become dehydrated with symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, muscle pains and loss of concentration. Chronic dehydration has been identified as a major factor in degenerative diseases, chronic joint pain, digestive problems, allergies, hypertension and even asthma.
Oils To The Rescue!
Thankfully this happened after an essential oils convention I was attending but whilst away in Amsterdam in May, I had an experience which enabled me to use one of my newest oils received as part of the convention kit I’d just bought.
Lemon Essential Oil
The essential oil of Citrus Limon is extracted through cold press of the peel of the fruit. Lemon is easily recognised by its fresh, sharp, sweet citrus smell and often chosen as the fragrance used in household cleaning products, it is well known for its cleansing properties, not just on household surfaces but us too, inside and out. If you could only have one oil, this would be the one; it is inexpensive yet can do so much.
