Aromatherapy Astrology And The Best Essential Oils For Gemini Season…

How can we use therapeutic oils during the season of Gemini – late May to late June – and what are the best essential aromatherapy oils for Gemini themselves?

Let’s look to the stars for answers! As a complementary therapy, we can work with aromatherapy, with recommended blends for different seasons.

During Gemini Season, we might like to consider the essential oils that have a balancing, healing effect on Gemini: Lemongrass, Pine and Bergamot.

Lemongrass…

Lemongrass essential oil is a perfect choice for Gemini season. It is refreshing, mentally rejuvenating and calming for the nerves.

Mercurial Geminis are heady beings, and sometimes that racing mind and mental dexterity can exhaust them.

Lemongrass helps with mental fatigue and has a boosting effect on the memory.

Suggestions:

• Add some drops to your vaporizer or diffuser for a mental pick- me up.
• Lemongrass makes a fabulous insect repellent and a powerful energy cleanser at home or in the office.

Pine…

Air sign Gemini is all about the breath.

A Gemini mind needs to be free and clear, so that it can mentally travel and breath in new ideas and inspiration.

Gemini rules the respiratory system, and when under stress, the twins can be prone to asthma and bronchitis.

Pine essential oil is one of my choices for a Gemini fragrance. It strengthens the immune system and it purifies the air, like a morning walk through a crisp Alpine forest.

Suggestions:

• Add a few drops to your bath or add 10 drops to 40ml of massage base oil, i.e, almond or grapeseed, rub onto the chest and take some long deep breaths.

Bergamot…

Bergamot is mentally strengthening and mood enhancing, for those moments of anxiety that Gemini can feel.

Bergamot stimulates the brain to release neurotransmitters, which balance the mood and stimulates the flow of mood enhancing chemicals serotonin, and dopamine.

• Add 5 to 10 drops to your diffuser or your bath and soak up the cheery, uplifting effects.

Do not massage onto skin before exposure to the sun however.

Instructions and Safety!

There are many ways to absorb essential oils. You can either use a diffuser, add up to 5 drops to bath or have an Aromatherapy Massage. I suggest using 10 drops to every 40ml carrier oil for a massage.

Always do a skin test for oils you’ve never used, in the unlikely event of an allergy. To do this, add a drop to the back of your wrist, via a cotton bud, apply a plaster and wait for 24 hours.

There are some oils which are fine to use during pregnancy, though lots of them aren’t. Please check before use and do not ingest or apply the oils neat…
