Not today, B. 🧘🏻 😆😆😆

I wonder, what do you think this will smell like?

Ah.. there is much to talk about the internal use of essential oils, but I'm not gonna go there 😆.

I myself have not tried it (takot ko lang hahahha). I simply don't want to risk it.

I totally agree with what this post says. So before you drop that lemon eo in your water, consider thinking WHY you are doing it and what for. If your answer does not outweigh the risks, don't do it. Educate yourselves and always go for the safe and responsible use of essential oils.

As always, consult a qualified aromatherapist if you want to learn more about ingestion 😉Happy oiling! 💚💚💚

The truth is that not all adverse effects are evident right away. There have been many people who had no clue there was a problem until weeks, months, or even years down the road.

While essential oils have gained a lot of popularity in recent years due to their various health benefits, we must also consider the possible risks involved, especially when it comes to ingestion.

Anyone ingesting essential oils should be getting their education from someone trained in aromatic medicine, which is an advanced form of aromatherapy that involves 500 to 1000 or more hours of training. Therefore, essential oils should not be casually ingested, especially as a daily practice.

OIL OF THE WEEK: ROSE (Rosa damascena)

Scent profile: Rich, intense, exquisite floral aroma

Historical use: Known as the "queen of flowers", Rosa damascena has been regarded highly as a symbol of beauty and love. It's been known to be used in celebrations, indulgence, spiritual worships, and even in the coronation ceremonies of British monarchs.

The complex aroma of Rose is among the favorites in the perfume industry because of its versatility, being able to blend well with other aromatics, and is considered to be one of the most timeless scents. Rosa damascena blends beautifully with Sandalwood, Ylang-ylang, Bergamot, Chamomile (Roman and German).

It is also now available as an absolute, essential oil, and a CO2 extract.

In skincare, Rose is known to be anti-aging, firming, and rejuvenating, making it a great addition to skincare products that help manage issues associated with mature skin.

Emotionally, Rose is commonly used for its ability to help regulate heavy emotions like grief, anguish, or anger. It is also known to be an aphrodisiac.

Therapeutically, because of its calming effects, it may help with insomnia. Rosa damascena is also used to help ease various gynecological issues, including abdominal cramps due to menstruation.

Safety precautions: Do not use undiluted on skin. Please refer to the safety guidelines before use to check for any hazards and maximum dermal use levels.

Bath Soak Recipe (perfect as gifts or for personal use):
1/4 cup Epsom Salt
1/4 cup Himalayan Salt
1/2 cup Baking Soda
1/3 cup Carrier Oil of choice

I think I’m falling in love with another floral oil 🥀♥️ Currently enjoying a sniff sesh with Rosa x centifolia.

I never liked floral aromas. I’ve always been the fruity, musky, earthy aroma type.

But since I started my aromatherapy journey, my nose is not so maarte anymore, and I have learned to love the beautiful and complex aromas of flowers (ok maybe some of them haha!).

So much so that now I am brain-dumping blend ideas on my 📗.

Kasalanan nyo toh eh 🤣 💚💚💚
