I love essential oils. My favorite? Peppermint!
Hi Richard, Peppermint is one of my favorites, too! There is so much we can do with the mint oils from uplifting our mood, to cleaning the house. And it can even help in the grieving period for giving us a bit of a mental lift when we’re feeling down. Thanks for sharing, Liz
Thank you so much for what you do! I love your podcasts! Your voice is so soothing and sweet and I really benefit from all the information you provide. I just got into EOs this year and I am hooked and want to try everything! I look for ward to your podcasts every month! Thank you!!
Thank you for your kind words about the podcast, Pam. I’m so excited for your new journey into this vast and wonderful world of essential oils. It is truly life-changing!
Love your pod casts Liz, I actually listened to the first cast of the year first. It was great, help me to think about which route I should take in the year of 2017. It’s always good to reflect and release. Episode 25 on grief is amazing! Oh my! The way you explained how the different parts of the plant can help us heal emotionally using essential oils. My friends is transitioning as we speak I’m going to the lab (my kitchen) to create a blend for her girls. It was meant for me to tune in. Thanks & Happy 2017, sounds like you have a great plan for the year.
Angela
Hi Angela, I’m so sorry about your friend who is transitioning. However, they are very lucky to have you to help them move onto their next journey. To make a blend for her daughers is very loving and will help them with this difficult transition as well. I would love to know what you ended up putting in the blend you made them! Happy 2017 to you as well. Thank you for listening, Liz
Hi Liz. I just discovered your podcast and it is wonderful! I have a question… I’ve been reading about Rose oil and the high vibration of it… if someone is grieving, couldn’t Rose oil be unsettling for some people who are not quite ready for that oil?
Hi Lindsey, I haven’t had the experience of Rose absolute or Rose essential oil being unsettling for those who are grieving. Energetically (vibrationally and subtly) it resonates with the Heart Chakra which is why many find it soothing to the heart during loss. If someone simply doesn’t care for the aroma, that’s something else, but as far as being unsettling, I’ve never had that experience. Great Question! And that you so much for your kind words about the Aromatic Wisdom Podcast! Please feel free to leave a review on iTunes 😉 AromaticWisdomInstitute.com/iTunes
