Essential Oil Blends
The blends offered here were developed many years ago based on clients needs and work well. The individual essential oils need to be understood as all are potent on their own, thus the brief descriptions.
Many of the oils are very expensive, hard to source and often times unavailable. We consider many factors when choosing oils to work with. The country of origin, climate, time of harvest, chemical analysis and availability are all factored in, and are reflected in the price.
For a more in-depth exploration of the essential oils, consider the class offerings.

It is also said to stimulate and enhance the immune system. This oil seems to have amazingly strong emotional effects, having a deep action on the psyche.

Hops essential oil helps ease sleeping problems via inhalation. Hops oil is often combined with valerian root oil in order to treat insomnia and anxiety.
Studies indicate that hops may have properties similar to melatonin, which helps regulate sleep, and compounds that promote relaxation.
Nutmeg
A natural chemical called trimyristin found in nutmeg has been shown to have the effect of stimulating and increasing the duration of sleep in animals. Nutmeg may relieve restless sleep associated with nervousness, worries, exhaustion and feelings of overwhelm.
Add several drops to a diffuser at night, or put one drop on the bottom and sides of each great toe. This is the pineal and pituitary reflex in reflexology.
The more adventurous may place a drop under the nose and perhaps experience vivid dreams...but this does not guarantee restful sleep...lol.
