Much of what I say here can be applied to other situations, such as religious counselors, astrologers, tarot card readers, and so forth. If you would like specific recommendations, please e-mail me. If enough people have those interests, I ll devote a newsletter to that subject.
People visiting a therapist usually have some kind of emotional problems.
Thus, the essential oils discussed here are focused on emotional and spiritual problems. Typically a therapist will see clients with different types of problems, and even with the same problem, clients may be at different stages of treatment. I m going to make some big distinctions between essential oils and blends that are highly helpful for particular patients, but likely too reactivating to expose the whole day s clients to, and other oils and blends that are neutral or sedating in effect and will not likely cause an outburst. Among the oils and blends which are generally useful, and might be safely diffused in the waiting room or private office, are the single oils Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Orange, Lemon, Sandalwood, and Rosemary. Please diffuse them before or after occupancy, they are not recommended while clients are sitting there, as they might have some untoward physical reactions due to preexisting physical problems.
