Hot flushes...

[Alesxandurr]

Can any of you wonderful Aromatherapists out there recommened an oil or two for 'hot flushes' a work collegue of mine says she breaks out in sweats about every 15/20 minutes during the night and is barley getting any sleep...and how would you advise they be used...
Many thanks

Funny you should ask today, Storm, as I made a lotion for a lady some weeks back and had a phone call today to say 'can I please have some more, as it's working so well, I'm frightened to stop using it.'

It was a 60ml jar of base lotion with 6 drops of evening primrose oil, 7 drops lavender, 7 drops chamomile roman, 7 drops rose and 7 drops clary sage. I advised her to massage it into her abdomen at night, around her lower back, and over her chest and shoulders.

Hi, I tried black cohosh and it did nothing for me![:-]

I like the idea of the cream that you made Lesley. Any chance you can make up some and I buy a jar from you. I don't think it would be worth me buying all the oils that you have mentioned and it sounds absolutely divine.

Love

hi,
i am new to all the aromatherapy side of things, so could you please tell me if a base lotion is a body lotion and can you use any body lotion or is this something you buy from the essential oils wholesalers
thank you

Well it should be vegetable based as opposed to mineral based. I always get mine from essential oil suppliers, but I do know some people use ones they buy in retailers, and obviously it should be unscented.

Hi All

I have been using Aromababe's lotion for over a week now and it is really helping!! I have been having some good nights' sleep without waking in a hot sweat. I think that the scents of the oils are having a good effect on me as well.

Thanks Lesley!

Love

You're very welcome, Sue.

Just so pleased that it's helping. The power of those oils never cease to amaze me.
