Aromatherapy is a great therapeutic approach if you learn about essential oils and follow its precautions for use. Little by little, you will complete your pharmacy with the products you regularly need.

In conclusion, here is a list of essential oils to have at home as a priority or to take with you on your adventurous travels:

Lavender aspic for all bites

For all insect bites, whether flying or not, the first reflex is to apply on the bite(s) of the essential oil of lavender aspic pure. It is remarkably effective in reducing pain and pruritus. In addition, it disinfects the skin.

If you only haveLavender officinale (or true lavender) essential oil, or even Lavandin essential oil, this works too.

You can renew the application of lavender aspic as long as necessary. At the beginning, every 30 minutes if necessary. It is safe, but, like many essential oils, it is contraindicated before 6 years and in pregnant women.

Italian Helichrysum,for all the knocks and bruises

L’helichrysum Is a great essential oil for healing and in case of a blow. It's the number one blue one. There's obviously Arnica, but this is the.arnica vegetable oil. It is then associated with the essential oil of helichrysum (Italian immortelle). 

It has only one flaw, which is to be a little expensive, because it is difficult to extract.

Tea tree(or tea tree)and Niaouli for their many anti-infective properties

Herpes and shingles

The niaouli and the tea tree Are used primarily for herpes. They are great and stop this problem in 2 or 3 days. 

This makes treatment of herpes so easy that it's a shame it's not taught in medical school. All the expensive chemical drugs with side effects are outdated! I can say this even though I don't have a double blind placebo study, it works great!

Shingles will heal like herpes.

Fungal infections

Tea tree is a very goodessential oil for fungal infections. It's safe to put on pure. It's easy to use.

Gingivitis

If you have a little bit of gingivitis, we put essential oils that are a little bit antiseptic like tea tree which really has a very broad spectrum of action.

Other infections

These twoessential oils also work in colds, pharyngitis, strep throat, etc. When you're not sure and not too used to it, these two are all-purpose, as they work on many infections, without any danger. 

Peppermint, for motion sickness, trauma, migraines, digestive disorders

For migraines, the essential oil of mint Is among the things to have. 

• This is a very useful essential oil that is applied pure to the temples and a little to the forehead. It has a vasoconstrictor effect that calms the pain. 

• It's the essential oil for local pain. We also put it on for blows. There are sticks and different forms adapted to put the essential oil of mint.

Wildflower, the essential oil for joint or muscle inflammation.

L's essential oil. Wintergreen Is mostly used for tendinitis(tennis elbow, Achilles tendon, shoulder periarthritis, knee tendonitis...), but it can also be applied to purely muscular pain. 

As always, it is less effective when the tendon is deep, as in the buttock.

Cinnamon for digestive disorders

The essential oil of Cinnamonis the best preventive and curative treatment of turista, more effective than any allopathic treatment. It is not an anti-diarrheal, it is a treatment of the cause. Cinnamon essential oil, if taken pure, can burn your lip.  Therefore, it should be diluted in honey, in a compote, etc. It is best to take it on a full stomach. It sanitizes the gut in a great way.

Ceylon cinnamon is chosen, it is better than Chinese cinnamon and mostly comes from Sri Lanka. 

Cinnamon is so potent that very little should be taken : 

• 1 to 2 drops maximum, 3 times a day. You have to be careful, because it's really aggressive.

Mélange d’huiles essentielles comme répulsif des moustiques

There are several formulas depending on the habits of each aromatherapist. Here is an example from our naturopath :

• 1 ml ofessential oil of lemongrass,

• 2 ml ofessential oil oflemon eucalyptus,

• 2 ml ofessential oil of palmarosa,

• 3 ml ofessential oil of lavender officinale,

• 1 ml ofessential oil of ginger,

• 60 ml of vegetable oil of jojoba.

This mixture should be applied on the exposed parts of the body, except on the face (do not go near the eyes). In the periods at risk, I advise to renew the application every 2 to 3 hours. Nevertheless, it is necessary to wear long and loose clothing as often as possible and to apply this preparation above all on the ankles and wrists. You can, of course, apply it on the whole leg if you decide to go for a walk in shorts and on the arms if you are wearing a T-shirt, but this does not give a perfect efficiency.

An essential oil product for heavy legs

Aromatherapy, topically applied, for heavy legs is great. This is where we see the value of the synergy because oral aromatherapy for circulation does not work very well: locally, in application it is great.

• 100 ml of Calendula vegetable oil,

• 5 ml ofessential oil of Cypress,

• 3 ml ofessential oil of Rosemary Camphor,

• 5 ml ofThe essential oil of Cedarwood,

• 3 ml ofessential oil of Peppermint.

Apply this preparation to your ankles and massage your legs slowly upwards. It is also possible to prolong the massage by adding more calendula oil to better dilute the preparation.
