Almond Oil

The ancient poet Spencer says

Like to an Almond tree
With blossom brave bedecked
Whose tender locks do tremble
At every breath that heaven blowne.

Shakespeare used the mention of almonds as a simile for temptation & there are many references to it throughout the Bible

Greek mythology is associated with the almond tree & it is said that the leafless flowerless tree was clasped to the chest of Demophoon as he thought of his long lost lover & at that moment it burst into glorious flower as a symbol of true love. Hence almonds given at weddings

The therapeutic value of Sweet Almond Oil has been recognised since the time of Moses.
The oil is odourless & has a fine consistency which facilitates intensive moisturising & conditioning of the skin. It is especially valuable when combined with Essential Oils (2-4 dops of Essential Oil(s) per tablespoonful of almond oil) for a therapeutic, relaxing or sensual massage.

"My baby won’t sleep" - an Aromatherapy answer

Here is an article I wrote regarding Aromatherapy helping with sleep issues.

“My baby won’t sleep and even when he does, I can’t ! I am exhausted to the point of collapse!”

Clinical Aromatherapist Julie Foster of Potions and Possibilities says this is a familiar story. The good news is that Aromatherapy can help and Julie has designed three products with natural baby friendly ingredients that you and your baby can both use. They all contain the comforting scent of lavender with sleep inducing chamomile and violet which is an excellent oil for reducing tension and anxiety.

The first is a baby bath foam £7.99 for 200ml that can also be used as an adult shower gel. The second is a massage oil £9.99 for baby after bath or for Mums back and shoulders prior to bed and the third is a pulse point gel £4.99 to put on babies wrists or your temples prior to bed.

For telephone sales or mail order enquiries telephone 01394 386161 or visit the secure online show at www.potions.co.uk (most credit and debit cards accepted).

Julie also produces Aromatherapy products that can help to counteract fatigue.
