The greatest efficiency is achieved by the right combination of essential oils.
An interesting feature of aromatic oils is that their effectiveness is increased when mixed: different essential oils as it stimulates the action of each other. This property can successfully use it. Take the basis of the most pleasant patient aromatic oil that is suitable for his illness, and add the other healing oils in small doses. Thus, when a cold can be taken as a basis, tea tree oil and add the oil fir, myrtle and kaeputa, using as a base oil of eucalyptus, to supplement it with oil of myrrh, nayoli and tea tree (H. Bull).
Aromatherapy method works well in conjunction with other therapies (eg, use of essential oils can reduce the dose of antibiotics and prevent complications from their use), as well as other natural means of treatment - phytotherapy, balneology, homeopathy. Bronchitis used tea made from hibiscus cold preparations (press up to two hours). With a cold to remove the smear should drink a decoction of lime flowers. Diaphoretic effect at high temperature has a decoction of elder, and for a sore throat gargle help from a decoction of sage, infusion of chamomile, calendula flowers.

Sweet smell of oil produced from wood of sandalwood, for centuries been used in traditional Vedic medicine.

Fresh, invigorating scent of mint - a fast and effective tool for pain, dizziness, palpitations, anxiety and weakness. Mint oil has beneficial effects on the respiratory, digestive, nervous system and circulatory system. Mint can be successfully used for light massage for headache or heaviness in the head, with nervous excitement. However, men need to be careful with the mint - an overdose of declining sexual activity.
G. Bull sees the problem of matching essential oils to create different flavors like:
■ Lavender is well compatible with all essential oils, except for rosemary.
■ All citrus oils are mixed with no problems and go well with the smells of pine trees.
■ Characteristic odor of eucalyptus or peppermint can be made thinner by adding a little oil of lavender or rosemary.
■ Perfect harmony, as a rule, floral scents of jasmine, ylang-ylang, iris, lavender, neroli, rose and chamomile.
■ Sour note in the song make vetiver, cedar and sandalwood.
A combination of several essential oils stimulate inspiration works especially effectively. Try to add an aromatic lamp oil of bergamot, rosemary, sandalwood, lemon or lemon grass in different proportions.
Clary sage blends well with bergamot and cypress, which simultaneously helps to concentrate. Treatment with peppermint oil requires some dexterity smell of her very strong, but fits well with the scent of verbena, lemon and rosemary.
All essential oils for smell are divided into three categories: "top note", "heart note" and "root note". In S. Price is high, medium and low volatility. By "top note" are fresh, light and "transparent" odors, which are felt first, but just as quickly evaporate. Under the "heart note" refers to strong, exciting smells noticeably affect the emotions. "The main note" - earth, warm flavors of trees and roots. They are highly resistant.

Thousands of years in different religions to use essential oils to promote internal discipline and strengthen communication with the spiritual world.
The earliest "spirits" have come down to us - Egyptian incense "Kifi. His recipe contained in the Ebers Papyrus (1550 BC. Er.). This ancient incense used by priests, and includes 16 different components (calamus, frankincense, myrrh, etc.).
Ancient authors noted its relaxing, calming effect, the ability to get rid of the fear and panic.
Sacred incense are hyssop, cedarwood, frankincense, myrrh, juniper, Peruvian balsam, rose, sandalwood and ale. The combination of these oils in aromatherapy lamp creates a wonderful aroma in their action. Of course, you can only use some of them, but the possibility of essential oils in the composition should be not less than three, and in small quantities.
