**Essential Oils Every Aromatherapist Needs in a Pinch**
Finally, the goods from Hong Kong have arrived! It took about a month and a half, which is pretty quick. The most nerve-wracking part was getting those oils. I only brought the lifesavers, the most important ones. So, what essential oils are must-haves for an aromatherapist?
- **Lavender:** Great for headaches, dizziness, burns, aiding sleep, soothing skin sensitivities, and calming effects.
- **Lemon:** Helps with fever.
- **Peppermint:** Reduces fever, relieves nasal congestion, helps with motion sickness, and stops nausea.
- **Mytle:** Good for upper respiratory discomfort, colds, and runny noses.
- **Ravintsara:** Antiviral, great for colds and flu.
- **Ylang Ylang:** Can lower blood pressure and help with menstrual discomfort. For me, it's a must-have for sleep; just one whiff and I’m out!
- **Sweet Orange:** Helps with digestion and boosts energy.
- **Ginger:** Aids digestion and soothes stomach discomfort.
- **Basil:** Eases headaches and migraines.
- **Lemongrass:** Acts as a natural insect repellent.
- **Rosemary:** Another good insect repellent, also helps relieve headaches and migraines.
- **Rose:** Essential for skincare, especially when combined with carrot seed oil for brightening.
- **Carrot Seed Oil:** Excellent for skin brightening.
- **Frankincense:** Great for bruises, unknown pains, and calming effects.
- **Rose Water:** Hydrates the skin and soothes sensitivities.
- **Sweet Almond Oil:** Used as a carrier oil to dilute essential oils.
Speaking of which, it's the end of the year again, and it’s time to renew my IFA aromatherapist license. December is filled with Christmas shopping and various license renewals—definitely a month of spending!
