Karen, a nurse before she was an aromatherapist, shows you how acute and chronic pain call for different oils, different dilutions, and different timelines, then blends the toolkit with you: headache relief, sinus pressure, sore muscles, cramps, and more, each with a kid-safe version.

Inside the course

The curriculum, lesson by lesson.

One full class, downloadable recipes and datasheets, and remedies you can make the same day. Here is exactly what you'll work through.

Lesson 1Manage 5 Different Types of Pain
  • Our bodies deal with over exertion and stressful situations in many different ways. Some common examples are: headaches, muscular, menstrual, acute vs chronic! How we treat a spasm differently than arthritis, pains associated with acute illness such as a sore throat or an ear ache
Lesson 23 Essential Oil Profiles: In addition, we will be blending with 8 other supportive essential oils. When we have a cupboard full of essential oils, choosing the right one for the right condition is key!
  • Mastic (Pistacia lentiscus)
  • Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus)
  • Spearmint (Mentha spicata)
Lesson 3Get The Perfect Blend With 8 Different Recipes
  • Research has shown that certain compounds found in select essential oils, can provide significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic benefits to help reduce pain from its source: β-Myrcene, Estragole (methyl chavicol), Carvone
Lesson 4Incorporate Key Carriers
  • Choosing a carrier can take our pain management blends to the next level! We will incorporate 3+ different carriers: Trauma Oil (Infused Arnica, calendula & St Johns Wort) Tamanu Oil (Calophyllum inophyllum), Hemp Seed Oil (Cannabis sativa)
