So Many Essential Oil Properties - Which Oils Should You Choose?

First decide which essential oil properties you need for your particular use or problem.

It may seem at first that there are many choices that you could make - and this is one of the wonderful aspects of aromatherapy.....there are!

Each essential oil has a unique aroma and set of therapeutic properties......yet some of the qualities can be quite similar.

Lavender is well known for its relaxing properties, but so are chamomile and frankincense. It will probably depend on your exact need and which other oils you are going to use in the blend as to which you would choose.

Geranium and rose, beautiful smelling and feminine, both have wonderful and similar qualities for 'female problems'. For an aromatherapy massage I would probably lean towards using geranium for younger women and rose for the more mature lady - I have found this works for me!

As you use your essential oils more and more you will discover your favourites that have particular qualities and therapeutic effects. You will also work out, with a little experimenting, blends that work well for you.

It is important to get to know your essential oils and their therapeutic properties, uses and precautions.
