And candles that come in pretty stands too. Oils are great too. i love aroma therapy and all of that! i cant believe ive never seen this post before.

i love candles, insence and all smelly stuff, for my birthday a few years ago my friend brought me a chocolate candle and it smelt so yummy!!

Dear eles,
your very welcome I try not to let my disease get in the way of my frienships and even if I am in to much pain to get on the computer I always check to see when the last date a friend sent me an email and if it`s been more then 2 days I worry. I believe everybody has their own story to tell or a burden to bare or a journey they are taking and try not to let my pain effect that. Thank-you very much for the advice on my husbands arthritis, right now he can`t wait till summer as the pain is less in summer. I on the other hand I love winter and am lapping it up while I can and so are my ducks. Speak of the devil I will have to read the other forums in a few minutes as furby one of my ducks is knocking on the door.
Have a great day!!
Love Flutter.

You`re welcome eles.
it depends on what you prefer but into one cup of salts i`d put maybe up to 40 drops of oils, thats roughly 2 ml. I`d use the least amount of Clary Sage as it is relatively potent and can over ride the Neroli. Maybe 5 -8 drops Clary would do the job.

Thanks so much for all your advice Princess75, it makes me feel like running a warm bath. I`m not overly stressed just find it hard to wind down, you know what its like…try to watch up a movie and get up every 10 minutes to do something. I though it would be a good habit to just have a warm bath each night and soak up the aromatherapy benefits. Im a firm believer in the power of medicinal aromatherapy, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge on this which is so impressive. I have some plain mineral salts and love the idea of putting it into the salts. Thought I might try the Neroli, Rose Absolute, Sweet Orange, Clary Sage (sounds yummy) should I just put a drop of each?

And thanks so much Flutter for your advice, its nice of you to share so much when I know you are feeling so low. I don`t get migraines anymore as I take a vitamin blend that stopped them over a year ago, but I do a lot of computer work and get tension headaches sometimes. I prefer natural alternatives rather than just popping a panadol. On the subject of Arthritis for your husband I have been treating a friend with Black Moor. Apparently it elevates the temperature of the body when you bath in it by about 1 degree and as your body senses “”fever”” it releases its own natural cortisones as a response. The cortisones made by your own body reduce the inflammation in the joints. I read that the arthritis and rheumatism foundation in Europe have endorsed it as a therapeutic treatment for the last 30 years and my friend has found it miraculous. She just has a warm bath with black moor once ever two or three days and if it becomes very bad she packs it onto the area like a poultice for 15 minutes.
Thought you might like to know about this.

I have just got into essential oils and scented candles i find they add a cool atmosphere to my house like your at an exotic day spa or something. my favorites at the moment are rosemary(uplifting) a chill out blend of lavender lime and frankincense. And i bought a lavender soy candle for my bathroom from wicked wix from the womens showcase it is devine and lasts for ages, 20 baths and counting.

That`s fine…I`ll leave a message on facebook..thanks p75!…can`t wait to try your fabulous blends!

sorry gem, i missed you by like 2 seconds. if i`d seen you online i`d have hung around.
i`ll let you know when i get the bath oil base and send you some too if you like (if i can get it). lol
