Inner Strength

[aBrarrilia4]

I have a client who needs Inner Strength, obviously I won't go into why she needs this, but I am stuck for blends, bearing in mind I have to go by what oils I have at work, I am thinking Rose, Frankincense, Jasmine or Ylang Ylang.

Can anyone think of any more please ?

Basil to focus the mind on a positive outcome perhaps? if that's appropriate

Hi JoJo - I'm not an aromatherapist. However I get a regular aromatherapy massage to assist with my mood issues. One of the main oils he uses is Bergamot because it is grounding. I find it utterly soulful - and have to be careful to avoid the temptation of anointing myself in it daily. I wonder if Bergamot might be helpful for your client?

Hi JoJo,

Just curious but if this person is a client and is paying then why do you have to go by what is in your kit? If she needs X,Y & Z can you not purchase it?

Love

Rebecca, it is the oils I have to use when I am at my contracted work, it is a charity and I have to abide by their rules I'm afraid, I'm unable to take in my own oils as they have their own specific company they use.

How interesting. Forgive me for asking - but is this arrangement unusual, or have you heard of other Aromatherapists with similar constraints on which oils they can use? Does the company offer a wide range of oils and you are only permitted to use specific ones? Or do they only sell a limited range?

My oils were ordered by the clinical Aromatherapist, I do as I'm told, just as I can only use specific essential oils and a specific Reflexology routine at the hospice I volunteer at. It's all rules rules rules I'm afraid (I have no problem with it). I obviously have no restrictions within my own practice.

Thanks for your explanation, JoJo. I find it very interesting to hear what other folk's work situations are like. Ha, re the 'rules, rules, rules' comment... I guess it's rules everywhere when you think about it.

Again, thanks.

If you can use it Cedarwood is great for inner strength. Blends well with Cardamon & Clary Sage. 3 drops Cedarwood, 3 drops Cardamom & 1 drop Clary Sage. Very grounding, warming & comforting.

Thanks Jinx, but I don't use Cedarwood or Cardamom, lol, am really restricted aren't I

No worries Ava, people must think it sounds ridiculous, but that's how it is x

Hi Jo I am about to start at a hospice too and have been told there are only certain oils I can use - as prescribed by their aromatherapist - and certain reflexology things I can do. I just figure that they have worked there a long time, and know their patients and what is best, so am content to go along with it too so can see where you are coming from. love Melanie x

Hi Jo
No cedarwood hmm. How about sandalwood? Any of the woody oils are good for Inner Strength. You've got Jasmine & Rose - they obviously have expensive tastes! Sandalwood, Jasmine & Rose would be lovely & soothing. Or, if you have Geranium, swap that for the Rose to give the blend a bit more bite.

I may have to have a word with them I think, it's not just for people who are anxious, depressed etc
