Essential Oil Blends: Using Aromatherapy to Overcome Loneliness

Does this sound familiar? If you’re suffering from similar feelings of solitude, I offer you three aromatic essential oil recipes to help you awaken your sense of self, calm your fear of loneliness, unfold your self-love, and provide an awareness that you are full, rich and so gifted by life. By caring for yourself as you would care for your partner or friends, you will feel more full, much less alone, and less reliant on others to fill your emotional needs.

Each recipe should be made by pouring the oil essences into a 10-ml bottle and adding vegetable oil to fill.
