Hello Everyone! Welcome to the heat of summer and boy is it bearing down on us. In UAE we are above 40's already and it's only going to get warmer. I am sure some of you are looking forward to your summer vacation where you can spend quality time with your family and friends. It sure is a busy time with exams almost finishing and packing starting. I too leave for Hong Kong on 20th June to see my yummy mummy, its been too long...
Well as a Clinical Aromatherapist I have always been vary about summer and the things that come with it. The first thing that comes to mind is sunburn as we all head out for vacation, beaches seem to be one of the main destinations families choose. What happens when we go to the beach or an island hopping adventure, we get sunburnt, get a heat stroke or sun stroke and so many other issues that come with summer.
We have put together some interesting tips for you to keep safe this summer through our social sights, so do look out for formulations that will be a life saver for many of you, specially when it comes to children when they sit in the sun too long. Insect bites are another major issue to tackle, indigestion, nausea, vomiting and upset tummies are another troublesome ailment that attacks during summer, when we go to exotic places and eat exotic or different food. Please keep yourselves safe by using essential oils as an anti-viral in spray forms when you sitting on airplanes, cars, hotel rooms and carry a few essential oils to help with a multitude amount of ailments
My favourite choice for summer is Lavender, Peppermint OR Spearmint, Tea tree and Eucalyptus globulus. Carry them with you, it will be your lifeline when you need something incase of emergency like a first aid, tummy aches, headaches, pain, burns and so much more. We are putting together a short fun course for this summer on how to treat a lot of summer ailments, so do stay tuned. Our short courses are fun and easy to do while on the go, so do consider adding some skills during your vacation. We are happy to answer any questions you may have when blending these oils together, so do contact me.
Enjoy your summer holidays, stay safe and stay hydrated. Until next time....
