Got a Question?Blends for Gemini and Winter using Benzoin, Lavender and Lemongrass
Winter is only a few days away down here down under, and so far it's not been too cold, although the country has experienced its first snowfall quickly followed by torrential rains and flooding... welcome to Aotearoa, the land of the long white (grey) cloud!
As this month is about Coeliac Disease let's start with some oils that help soothe the digestive system. You can't take them internally, and never should if you want to maintain a healthy microbiome along with your liver and kidney function, however you can use them as a tummy rub for digestive pain and discomfort. And then there's my favourite, the sniffy stick.
The blends I'm going to add below can be added to a diffuser, sniffy stick, a massage oil or a balm/cream/ointment.
I love Sniffy Sticks as they are easy to carry around in your bag, and your kids can take them to school or carry them in their pocket because they're not glass like a rollon.

Here's a recipe I adapted many years ago for a men's cologne. It can also be used as a candle scent or in a room diffuser.
