Detailed Client Intake
I begin with a client intake. Taking the time to carefully identify the client’s reason for concern, and diligently investigating to find the root cause. Not just the symptoms. I consider how the concern affects the client both physically and mentally. Involving the client in the management of their care.
Custom Blend
I design a blend that will support and effectively alleviate the issues at hand. The selected essential oil blend will be complementary to one another chemically and aromatically. .
Client Education
I limit the blend to an appropriate number of oils that remains high in active chemical constituents. I will carefully choose the carrier oil that best complements. The client is left with a clear explanation of the aromatic prescription. Appropriate reasoning as to why each oil was chosen. Information about the specific properties and the therapeutic action, that will assist in restoring the client to wellness.

ELDERBERRY SYRUP
How does it work? According to Web MD...
Elderberry might affect the immune system. Elderberry seems to have activity against viruses including the flu, and might reduce inflammation. A specific syrup containing elderberry juice (Sambucol, Nature’s Way) seems to relieve flu symptoms and reduce the length of time the flu lasts when taken by mouth within 24-48 hours of the first symptoms.Symptom relief seems to occur within 2 to 4 days of treatment for most people.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the safety of using elderberry during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Elderberry can increase the immune system. Taking elderberry along with some medications that decrease the immune system might decrease the effectiveness of medications that decrease the immune system.
Dosage:
For immune building(during cold/flu season)
- one teaspoon daily
For illness
- one tablespoon (15 mL) 4 times daily of a specific elderberry juice-containing syrup daily for 3-5 days. A dose of 15 mL (1 tablespoon) twice daily for 3 days has been used in children

Many essential oils have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antiseptic and antifungal properties that help boost your immune system and fight infections. The chemical substances found in the oils, such as terpenes, esters, phenolics, ethers and ketones, have the potential to fight foreign pathogens that can threaten your health.
Some of the best essential oils for your immunity include:
- oregano
- myrrh
- ginger
- lemon
- eucalyptus
- frankincense
- peppermint (mentha piperita)
- cinnamon
Essential oils may work as natural headache and migraine relievers because they effectively treat the trigger, addressing the root of the problem instead of masking it. Essential oils for headaches provide pain relief, improve circulation and reduce stress, which can be a major cause of both headaches and migraines.
A placebo-controlled, clinical trial conducted in 2012 evaluated the efficacy of inhaling lavender oil for the treatment of migraine headaches. Forty-seven patients with migraines were divided into two groups — one that inhaled lavender for 15 minutes and one that used a color and odorless liquid.
After asking the patients to record their headache severity and associated symptoms every 30 minutes for a total of two hours, researchers found that the difference between the controls and treated patients was statistically significant. From 129 headache attacks in the treatment group, 92 responded entirely or partially to lavender. In the control group, 32 out of 68 headache attacks responded to the placebo.
Aside from lavender, some other oils that can help relieve headache pain include peppermint, which has a cooling effect and stimulates blood flow; eucalyptus, which relieves sinus pressure by opening the nasal airways; and rosemary, which reduces inflammation, promotes circulation and has a calming effect.
Did you know that essential oils can help boost your energy levels and even improve your athletic performance? Some oils have stimulating effects and can actually increase oxygen to your brain. This leaves you feeling refreshed, focused and energized.
A study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that peppermint oil increased brain oxygen concentration, improved exercise performance and reduced exhaustion in healthy male athletes who consumed peppermint oil with water for 10 days.
Some other great essential oils for energy include grapefruit, lemon, lemongrass, eucalyptus and rosemary.

Promote Restful Sleep
Some essential oils have sedative properties, which can be helpful for people who have trouble falling asleep or getting through the night. Lavender oil, in particular, is known to be an effective sleep aid because of its ability to leave you feeling relaxed and calm.
Some other oils that can be used to promote a restful slumber include Roman chamomile, ylang ylang, bergamot and vetiver.
A 2014 systematic review conducted at the University of Minnesota evaluated 15 quantitative studies, including 11 randomized controlled trials that examined the effects of essential oils on sleep. Researchers found that a majority of the study findings suggest a positive effect of oils on sleep deprivation and disturbances.
Lavender oil was the most frequently studied oil, and of all evaluated studies, no adverse events were reported.
Another study, this one published in Nursing in Critical Care, investigated the effects of lavender oil on sleep quality among patients in the coronary intensive care unit. Sixty patients participated in the study, and they were divided into the intervention group or the control group.
The intervention group inhaled lavender oil for 15 days, and researchers found that those participants showed significantly significant differences in their sleep quality compared to the control group that received no form of therapy. Researchers pointed out that lavender oil is a non-invasive, inexpensive and easily applicable intervention for hospital patients who are having trouble sleeping and experiencing anxiety.
With neuroprotective effects and cognitive performance-boosting abilities, essential oil benefits have helped many people who suffer from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia. In a scientific review published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, researchers found that because essential oils possess powerful antioxidants that work to inhibit free radical scavenging, they help naturally improve brain function and reduce inflammation.
Essential oils have also been shown to improve learning, memory and ability to focus. Both stimulating and sedative oils can be useful, as oils like eucalyptus can improve sustained attention over a longer period of time, while oils like bergamot can be useful for people going through tough exercises or situations.
Furthermore, they can be useful in relieving agitation in individuals with dementia. This is due to their calming and sedative effects.
One of the most well-known essential oils benefits is their ability to reduce stress and anxiety. Some have sedative properties and induce a calm, peaceful, uplifting and relaxed feeling.
The best essential oils for anxiety and stress include:
- Roman chamomile
- bergamot
- ylang ylang
- orange
- rose
- frankincense
- vetiver
A 2016 randomized, controlled clinical trial notes that inhaling rose water for four weeks significantly decreased the state and traits of anxiety in patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment.
A pilot study published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice found that the use of aromatherapy as a complementary therapy helped to reduce anxiety and depression in postpartum women. Women between zero and 18 months postpartum were divided into either a treatment group that inhaled a blend of rose and lavender oils or a control group that didn’t receive any type of aromatherapy.
After four weeks, data indicated that the women using aromatherapy had significant improvements in anxiety and depression symptoms compared to those in the control group.
A 2014 study involving 82 participants evaluated the effectiveness of aromatherapy for elderly people with chronic pain and symptoms of anxiety and depression. Researchers found that after four weeks of treatment with essential oils, there was a significant reduction in negative emotions, including feelings of anxiety, stress and depression, among the intervention group.
These are just some of the studies that have displayed the anti-anxiety and stress-relieving capabilities.
According to a research review in Pain Research and Treatment, there is a significant positive effect of aromatherapy compared to placebos or control treatments in reducing pain. Researchers evaluated 12 studies on this topic and found that essential oils were especially helpful in treating postoperative pain, obstetrical pain and gynecological pain.
There are many oils that may be applied topically or used aromatically to reduce aches and pains. One study that displays this essential oil benefit evaluated the efficacy of these oils on neck pain.
For the study, the experimental group received a cream that was composed of marjoram, black pepper, lavender and peppermint oils, and the control group used an unscented cream. The creams were applied for four weeks directly to the painful area after bathing.
Researchers found that the experimental group had improved pain tolerance in the neck and showed significant improvement in the 10 motion areas that were measured.
The best essential oils for alleviating aches and pains include:
- peppermint
- eucalyptus
- chamomile
- rosemary
- majoram
- thyme
- frankincense
- turmeric
- ginger
- myrrh

Using essential oils on your skin and in hair and beauty products is a natural and effective way to keep up your personal care regimes without having to use products that are made with chemicals and hydrogenated oils. Essential oils may calm irritated skin, reduce signs of aging, improve acne, protect your skin from sun damage and thicken your hair.
A review published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine states that “at least 90 essential oils can be identified as being recommended for dermatological use, with at least 1,500 combinations.” What gives these oils their skin benefits is their ability to fight against pathogens that are responsible for dermatological infections.
Oils can also help improve inflammatory skin conditions — like dermatitis, eczema and lupus — improve the general appearance of your skin and even aid wound healing.
There are also quite a few studies that have found essential oils to be helpful for hair growth. One such study, conducted in 2015, evaluated the efficacy of rosemary oil on patients with androgenetic alopecia, or male or female pattern baldness.
Patients were randomly assigned rosemary oil or minoxidil (a medication commonly used for hair loss) for a six-month treatment period. Researchers found that both groups experienced a significant increase in hair count at the six-month endpoint. They also indicated that scalp itching was more frequent in the minoxidil group.
The best essential oils for skin and hair include:
- lavender
- Roman chamomile
- frankincense
- tea tree
- geranium
- myrrh
- helichrysum
- rosemary
- clary sage
