3 Friends you need in your life

As a professional Aromatherapist essential oils are an extension of my friendship circle and I always encourage customers and clients to think of them in this way. Oils are there to support your physical and emotional needs. Sure they smell great and can great a beautiful ambience but their job is to help us.

Much like our friends, we invest our time and energy into our oil purchases. We spend time with our oils, we carry them around with us in our bags, they come with us on little outings and they are there for us when we want to fall in a heap.

Unlike a human friendship the relationship with oils are a strictly one way street. We take take take from them and all they want to do is give give give. They do not want anything from us other than us to use them and feel their benefits. Image if all our friendships were like this, we had no concerns of give and take, one way streets and one making more of an effort than the other. We wouldn't have the fall outs, the worries, the niggles, the self doubt, the cutting ties - we could just get on together and take it as it comes and not stress ourselves unnecessarily.

These 3 beauties are the friends I think we all need in our lives and if you are new to essential oils they are a great place to start.

1. Bergamot - she's exotic and zesty. Distilled from the peel of unripe bergamot fruit this fresh citrusy oil has a warm fruity scent. She is the ever uplifting friend, she will bring out all the positives for you, she will help to clear your negative thinking and bring you some emotional stability. When you feel like you don't want to go out - she's the friend that will convince you that you need to get out.

2. Geranium - she's the mother hen of the group. No one can be too sure where she

comes from and she has a bit of mystery in her history. Geranium will take care of you and give you that sense of security and she will make you feel valued and wanted. She's a great friend to have around all the time but certainly a great soother of mood swings during certain times of the month when female hormones will fluctuate.

3. May Chang - she is the one with all the knowledge, the one you can turn to with any problem. May Chang will help you to see the vision when it seems clouded, she will promote optimism and best of all - she is the one who can help you in times of emotional transformation.

These 3 ladies won't let you down and they can all work together in one harmonious blend. Spend time with them individually and as a group and you won't regret it!

Any day spent with your oils is a great day!
