Hello! I am new to aromatherapy, home someone here has more exprerience than me.

I was interested in some oil blends to sleep better, I know lavender helps, but I heard also about Ylang Ylang, can I blend the 2 oils?
What else can I add ?

What would you suggest for ease pain during sleep? Let’s say back pain, neck pain or menstrual pain?

Last, I was reading that these oils do not dilute in water and it’s not recommended to be used directly on the skin …. so, how am I supposed to use them?
I was thinking of adding a couple of drops to some water and spritz it on my bed but apparently is not a good idea as it would would dilute in the water ….. so how can I use it?
Do they sell these oils already diluted?

Should I buy one of those terracotta diffuser? Would it help?

Thanks!!

I want to know a good store where i can buy massage equipment, like essential oils and aromatherapy things like candles and stuff. It has to be a store in farminton, maybe Augusta or Belfast, too. Farmington is the best place for me.

with both my kids they have been bad sleepers, my oldest stopped taking naps at 1 1/2, and from birth till then would still wake 1-3 times a night, my youngest (7mths) still wakes during the night, usually twice, both were really hard to get to sleep, alot of struggle, I dont believe in the CIO method, my sister also doesn’t use that method, but all her kids have been great sleepers, fall asleep easily, sleep through the night etc. so do I just conceive bad sleepers or do I consistently do something that hinders them? I do/did hold them alot, let them cry for no more the 5 Min’s, rocked them or used other methods to get them to sleep (with my youngest he likes me to walk around for a good hour before he finally crashes in my arms), I have tried to maintain a routine, used those aromatherapy lotions for babies, etc. im not necessarily looking for ways to get him to sleep better, im thinking i’ve tried everything and excepted it’s like my first where it’ll be another few years before I experience good sleep again,lol. just looking for any experience or thoughts, thank you

We allowed a drug user to stay with us for a month in the vain hope of helping him get himself straightened out. Our guest bedroom now has a very unpleasant smell and no amount of airing out, aromatherapy etc seems to make any difference. Has anyone any advice?

I’m a therapist and trying to gain research – would you have a pamper party with your friends that had a therapist there doing treatments such as waxing, massage, facials, manicures, pedicures, eyebrow shaping, aromatherapy and reflexology?

Thanks for your input
I do a lot of “pamper parties” in the UK – now I am thinking of expanding to offer male treatments too…so would like your input. No I am not talking about diapers/nappies here. Thanks
OK so I take it as a no. you wouldn’t like a party with beauty/massage and holistic treatments.
