This is said to be a useful aid to helping people with nervous tension, in the same breath it is also best to be kept away from anyone who is feeling depressed! Slightly contradictory don’t you think!

Therapeutically we have ourselves a chemistry which is not overly common compared to other essential oils, and therefore it does have real value to an aromatherapist and the safe way to go forward is just make sure you use low doses and dilute well with carrier oil. Should the patient have any adverse reaction you stop use and feel safe in the knowledge effects will wear off within a few hours.

This blends well with other therapeutic super oils such as the helichrysum and all variants of lavender I offer and added to carriers and especially parabens & formaldehyde free creams may be very beneficial for getting dermatitis under control.
