Essential Oils and Depression

This morning I'm feeling a little blue. This weekend I said goodbye to my son, daughter-in-Law and my precious grandchildren. While they're off on a wonderful, exciting, new adventure and are moving today to Phoenix, Arizona, Nana is coming to terms with the fact that they won't be a couple of hours drive away any more. I'm sitting here with mixed feelings, on the one hand I am very happy for them and the wonderful opportunity that lies ahead, on the other I'm selfishly a bit sad for me.

It's certainly high time for me to put together an uplifting blend for myself and I've decided to make up a spritzer in a spray bottle. I'm also going to add a couple of the Bach Flower Remedies to help with the emotions.

Essential oils and Bach Remedies are wonderful at times of emotional challenge. Depression, feeling down, feeling blue etc is something that we can all face at one time or another in our lives and at varying different degrees. There is an article on the website Aromatherapy and Depression that is very helpful as well as the Depression Buster Blends. If you are interested in incorporating the Bach Flower Remedies into your blend you can find more info on them here just scroll down the page.

For the light mist spray: 10 drops grapefruit, 5 drops neroli, 3 drops pine, 2 drops black spruce plus 2 drops each of the following Bach Remedies: Gentian, Willow and Hornbeam all added to 125ml (4oz) distilled water. Uplifting and it will get me back on track.
