JANUARY ~ THE MONTH OF BEGINNINGS AND OPPORTUNITIES

“The name, given to the month of “January”, is derived from the ancient Roman name “Janus” who presided over the gate to the new year. He was revered as the “God of Gateways”, “of Doorways” and “of the Journey”. Janus protected the “God of Heaven”, known as the “Lord of Beginnings”, is associated with the “Goddess Juno-Janus”, and often symbolized by an image of a face that looks forwards and backwards at the same time. This symbolism can easily be associated with the month known as many as the start of a new year which brings new opportunities. We cast out the old and bring in the new. It is the time when many reflect on events of the previous year and often resolve to redress or improve some aspect of daily life or personal philosophy.

Essential Oils of India
Many essential oils in current use today come from India, the land of spirituality and ancient wisdom. Sandalwood Santalum album (not to be confused with Sandalwood from Australia Santalum spicatum), is probably one of the best known but there are many less famous essentials oils with therapeutic properties that are worth knowing of. Here are three of my favourite.

Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides)
In India this grassy plant is sown wherever there is erosion of the soil. It’s strong root system holds onto the soil and prevents loss. One of the most centering and grounding oils in modern aromatherapy use.

Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum)
The India variety of Basil is also known as Basil Krishna, for it was said that Krishna always wore garlands of Tulsi around his neck. A warming oil beneficial for cold extremities.

Spikenard (Nardostchys jatamansi)
Named Jatamansi in India. This oil has a very strong scent, one that you either love or hate. Regulates the heart and nervous system.

To learn more about the aromatic oils of India and others join me in Sacred Oils on January 14 at the New Age Shop where we will explore the traditional and modern use of essential oils. Details.

Litha June 21 - 22 Summer Solstice

Litha known as the summer solstice occurs in the norther hemisphere on June 21-22 and in the southern hemisphere on December 21-22. The summer solstice marks the hight of the sun’s power on the longest day of the year.

The aromatic oils associated with this season are a combination of florals, spices and citrus. To create a botanical perfume for the summer holiday consider beginning with a base note scent reminiscent of seashores and foliage such as:

~Oakmoss absolute
To that add one of the following or a combination
~Lavender
~Rose Otto

Then add some top notes such as:
~Bergamot
~Lime
~Sweet Orange

To that add some spice to your masterpieces with one of the following:
~Black Pepper
~Ginger

Add a few drops of your chosen essential oils to your favorite base oil. Apply to pulse points and as Coco Chanel said to a young woman who asked her where to apply perfume, “where ever one wants to be kissed”.

Enhance your individuality and indulge your spirit. Make an appointment with Shireen on (852) 9324 3868 to create your own custom blend perfume or visit our Artisan Natural Perfume page for a selection of our botanical perfumes.

Protect yourself and your family from Mosquitoes this summer!

The hot-wet summer months here in Hong Kong bring the start of the mosquito season. Some essential oils can act as a preventative measure to repel mosquitoes away from the skin.

There are several ways to work with essential oils — one is to add a few drops to the water in a vaporizer/burner. The second is to blend the appropriate oils into a unscented gel/light lotion base and apply to the skin. Care should be taken with young children, babies, pregnant women and individuals with sensitive skin if the latter DIY method is applied. Advise from a qualified aromatherapist is highly recommended on dosage and essential oil selection.
