Now, I love an essential oil - lavender to help soothe me to sleep etc, but I am not entirely in their thrall and think they having their limited effects.
I ordered some eucalyptus oil to pop in a hot bath as I’m loaded with the cold, to use alongside Lemsip.
The leaflet in the box over promises so much.
Perhaps it’s a google translate fail, but this is a whole lot of homeopathy wonder. Behold!
Vanilla: reassuring, relaxing and full of fun. Can reduce anxiety symptoms such as claustrophobia
Lavender: will treat mental stress, mental discomfort.
Jasmine: can improve postpartum depression and increase sexual function.
Peppermint: eliminate too much pride and strengthen lack of confidence.
Sandalwood: quiet introspection, thinking about the present, making people pious.
Sweet orange: can both increase vitality and treat insomnia.
Ylang ylang: supports the mental trauma caused by severe trauma (and makes people happy).
Rose: helps menopausal women regain their confidence (might order this one!)
Tea tree: can relieve nervous tension before and after menstruation.
Citronella: relieves the discomfort caused by jet lag.
Cinnamon: rekindled the enthusiasm for life.
Myrhh: helps keep people calm and elegant
Thyme: can inspire feelings of loss due to illness. ???
Camphor: supports people in complex situations.
There are so many claims - I wonder if there’s a tiny bit of truth in them, as in the oils are in the recipes for medicines, but wow, overclaiming much?
