Aromatherapy & Reiki For Grief & Loss

Loss | Essential Oils | Reiki | Heal

We all know that death is part of the natural cycle. Even so, and whether expected after a long illness or unexpectedly in a car accident, the loss of a loved one is a painful and wrenching experience; with those left behind, left to deal with the pain, sorrow, and a variety of emotions, stress, anxiety and panic. We are left feeling empty, like there is a whole in our lives. Thankfully, through a combination of aromatherapy and reiki, we can quickly and easily stabilize and support our mind and emotions by accessing areas of our mind, body and energetic being – to release anger and pain, comfort, sooth, uplift and balance. Here is your holistic toolkit…

Aromatherapy for Grief and Loss

I get the best results by using the oils below, individually or in combination i) in a diffuser for 30 minute periods at a time throughout the day, ii) adding about 15 drops to a bath (or try an Aromatic Salt Bath) and/or iii) diluted in a carrier oil and drop periodically massaged using one finger on to the tip of the nose and nostrils.

Bergamot & Sweet Orange Oils can be used individually or together, as they are both anti-depressive and uplifting.

Roman Chamomile Oil is calming, releases anger and anxiety, stabilizes emotions, relaxes and induces sleep. Diluted, this oil is safe on children. [Photo above]

Frankincense Oil is calming, soothes the mind and emotions, balances out of control emotions and releases anger.

Lavender Oil* soothes the nervous system, provides clarity, balances emotions and helps to induce sleep when fatigued but unable to sleep. Diluted, this oil is safe on children.

Rose Oil releases pent up emotions and anger while soothing sorrow and elevating anxiety and despondency.

Rosemary Oil* is an anti-depressive that warms, helps to uplift and combats related mental and physical fatigue.

* Frankincense, Lavender and Rosemary Oils also clear nasal congestion and support the immune system during these mentally, emotionally and physically challenging times.
