 Treat your senses with essential  delights

Using essential oils during Starbounding programmes provides a natural bonus to mini trampoline rebounder exercise DVD sessions. I suggest you keep a variety on the shelf, and become familiar with their properties. Once you have decided how to use essential oils, they do the work, while you reap the benefits.

In Starbound my book I present suggestions regarding the use of essential oils within your rebound aerobics sessions.The possible selection of oils is so vast that I have selected a few of my favourites to present within my health and beauty pages to get you started.

ROSE PHYTOL (flowers) rosa damascena!! ORGANIC!!

As far as oils go, this is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE!!!! And as far as prices go - it's just as well that a little goes a long way! Rose Phytol has all the rejuvenative and healing properties of Rose Absolute.

But where Rose Absolute is produced by solvent extraction, Rose Phytol is steam distilled, and purely organic. Simply the best! This leaves it as close to perfection as possible. One drop at a time makes this the perfume for a lifetime. I am addicted! And it lasts forever!

ROSEMARY (herb)

Rosemary has been used as a culinary and medicinal herb for centuries. The oil is refreshing, stimulating, and is believed to strengthen the memory, concentration, nerves, and mood. Therapeutically it is a great aid for headaches, weak eyesight, and hair and scalp problems, including hair loss and dandruff. It is often useful for general debility, for pepping up poor circulation, relieving arthritis, and calming irritating coughs.

TEA-TREE (leaves of the tree)  melaleuca alternifolia

A deep cleansing, and stimulating oil with strong antibacterial properties, tea-tree is ideal for treating problem skin. In my opinion it isn't the most pleasant smelling of oils, but with its excellent germicidal and anti-fungal properties it has a wide range of uses, including the treatment of colds, flu, herpes, thrush, athletes foot, warts, and many other skin infections.

YLANG-YLANG (flowers) cananga odorata

Ylang-Ylang is a soothing and sensual oil, with a floral, sweet, exotic perfume. Ylang Ylang is said to be an aphrodisiac and helpful for frigidity.

It has a sedating effect on the nervous system, and is considered beneficial for high blood pressure, anxiety, and stress. It can be an effective remedy for all digestive disorders, including indigestion, diarrhoea, and colic. Cosmetically Ylang ylang is excellent for both oily and dry skin, and mixes well in a massage blend. It provides a pampering treat when used in the bath.

VIOLET LEAF ABSOLUTE(flowers) viola odorata

Violet Leaf Absolute is another very expensive oil, but is worth its weight in gold! Violet Leaf Absolute invokes a calming, beautiful and gentle response - ideal for meditation, and restoring a positive attitude to life in general. It helps to promote confidence and self-esteem. When used on a regular basis Violet Leaf Absoute will encourage a positive vision for the fulfillment of your personal and professional goals. It is a brilliant oil to diffuse, while working or involved in a creative project.  Violet Leaf's mossy aroma is unlike that of the flower.

PINE(trees) pinus sylvestris

Pine is a stimulating, invigorating, oil with a fresh, sharp aroma. With antiseptic properties, it is considered to be an effective deodorant, and hygenic air freshener. It is also helpful for infections of the respiratory tract, such as asthma, sinusitis and flu.

Pine is often useful as a mix in massage oil. It is effectively used in the bath for rheumatism, cystitis, kidney problems and gallstones. In general Pine provides a great tonic for debility - so if you are lacking 'get up and go' I suggest Pine is the oil to get you back up and rebounding on a mini trampoline!

CAMOMILE ROMAN (flowers) anthemis nobilis

This light fragrance is sweet and soothing.  Camomile Roman provides an excellent oil for use in skincare - soft and gentle. I also often use a few drops of this oil in my vaporizer during meditation. It is also effective as an inhalation if you are feeling stressed.

CYPRESS (leaves of the tree) cupressus sempervirens

Cypress is a natural astringent and deodorant, with a pleasing woody fragrance. The properties of Cypress also make it an effective footbath.

Cypress is relaxing and refreshing. It calms and restores your nerves, and is renowned for stimulating sluggish circulation. Many people report that it is useful as an inhalation in cases of asthma, influenza, and spasmodic coughs. It can be helpful in cases of varicose veins, rheumatism, and muscular cramps.

Combine 3 drops of lavender with 5 drops of cypress in a sitz bath to stimulate the healing of the perineum following childbirth and haemorrhoids. (Starbound my book p.160)

Clary Sage

has highly euphoric properties, which makes it the ideal oil to use if you need to induce a sense of well-being! It has a warm, nutty scent.

Clary Sage essential oil should not be used during pregnancy. It is an oil with marvellous properties for up-liftment. At the end of a working day, when you need to recharge for an evening out, try a few drops of Clary Sage in the vaporizer, or bath. It really works wonders! Clary Sage releases a new lease of energy, and a clear perspective

Clary Sage is ideal for all types of debility, whether physical, nervous, mental or sexual. It is reported to help regulate high blood pressure, and can be used as a nerve tonic. It can be used to help combat depression, insomnia and menstrual problems.

GERANIUM

Geranium has always been a favourite of mine; indeed one of the mainstays of my essential oil cabinet! has a mild tonic action, suitable for all skin types. Geranium  is cleansing and refreshing, and has a delicious floral fragrance.

I find Geranium mixes well with most other oils, whether for vaporizing or massage. It is both refreshing and relaxing - with extremly positive balancing qualities. It also helps to bring relief from anxiety, depression and neuralgia.

Geranium is popular for use in combating congestion, fluid retention and obesity. Its astringent qualities can help to clear the skin.

LAVENDER (flowers) lavandula angustifolia

Lavender is a most versatile and soothing oil. It is wonderfully relaxing. It releases rejuvenating properties, which make it useful in skincare preparations. Lavender is an excellent antiseptic, and very healing - making it useful for burns, wounds, bites, dermatitis and inflammation of the skin in many cases.

Both a nerve sedative and a heart tonic, lavender is considered to lower high blood pressure, and relieve anxiety, palpitations and depression. Lavender is useful in cases of sprains, rheumatism, and all catarrhal complaints. I find it blends well with other oils for vaporization and massage. Lavender is another mainstay of my essential oil cabinet - I keep a bottle in my handbag in case of emergencies!

ORANGE BLOSSOM (NEROLI) (flowers) citrus aurantium

Orange Blossom, also known as Neroli, is a sweet, exquisite, delightfully refreshing perfume. It has warm, rejuvenating properties. Neroli is an invaluably classic ingredient in many famous perfumes.

Neroli is an expensive essential oil, but it can definitely be said that it is worth it's weight in gold when it comes to caring for your skin. It is particularly beneficial for dry, mature skins, and in the treatments of sensitive, irritated skins. With Neroli a few drops go a long way! Neroli is a soothing oil, renowned for slowing and calming the mind. It can be effective in the treatment of hysteria, anxiety and depressions.

ROSE ABSOLUTE (flowers) rosa damascena

I am a great fan of anything rosy! Pure Essential oil of Rose releases a beautiful, elegant fragrance. ROSE IS AN EXQUISITE OIL - a special perfume!  Rose is great for the nerves, reducing stress, creating a prayerful, meditative and spiritual state of mind! Rose is highly beneficial in inducing a joyful, positive, and balanced emotional outlook. Not to forget that Rose Essential Oil is highly beneficial when used in cosmetic treatments, and is brilliant for rebalancing dry, inflamed, or mature skin.

PATCHOULI (herb) pogostemon cablin

Patchouli is another essential oil that I miss when it's not around! It is most beneficial for balancing moods and emotions. While larger doses relax and sedate, smaller does uplift and inspire.

My daughter calls this my 'hippy oil'! Patchouli diffuses an earthy, mystical, sensual fragrance. It is a balancing oil, and is helpful in skincare, particularly for the mature skin.

On a purely therapeutic level Patchouli is renowned for helping obesity, fluid retention, anxiety, depression, nervous exhaustion, and most commonly as an aphrodisiac.

On a healing level it can be helpful for cracked skin, weeping sores, and reducing inflammation. Patchouli makes for a great pampering oil to add to a warm bath.

PEPPERMINT (herb) mentha piperi

Peppermint, as most of us associate the scent, is zesty, refreshing, and invigorating. It is also soothing, which makes it a great essential oil in the treatments of muscle fatigue, and swollen, tired feet!

Peppermint is known to be useful for nervous complaints, travel sickness, menstrual irregularities, colds, flu, and most importantly - in rapid recovery from headaches.

Peppermint is also renowned for being helpful for indigestion, intestinal parasites, and liver problems. In strong doses it can prevent sleep, so it is better used not just before bedtime.
