Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy has been used across many cultures since ancient times. Ancient Egyptians used specific aromatherapy oils as they were mummifying a body. On the heads of guests they also placed scented wax cones that would melt progressively releasing the fragrances of the essential oils. In modern-day France, famous for its high quality lavender oils, essential oils can be used internally instead of medicine by trained aromatherapists. Most countries restrict aromatherapy oils to external applications.

Aromatherapy uses the scents and chemical properties of essential oils to affect our emotions and moods as well as healing on a physical level. These are commonly used in oil burners (6 drops), massage oils (1 drop essential oil : 2 mls carrier oil), several drops in a bath or on a tissue. Use whichever oils you are drawn to or try any of the following. 2 or 3 oils may be blended together:

• Calming and Balancing
lavender, marjoram, geranium, chamomile or mandarin
• Overthinking and Worry Relief
sandalwood, frankincense, geranium, clary sage or vetiver
• Concentration and Memory Improvement
rosemary, peppermint, basil, pine or lemon
• Invigorating and Uplifting
orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, peppermint
• Sensual and Erotic
ylang ylang, jasmine, rose, patchouli
• Tension and Frustration Relief
bergamot, orange, neroli
• Overburdened and Humourless Relief

Try luxuriating in a warm bath with your favourite aromatherapy essential oils for a special treat. Remember that so-called aromatherapy oils marked ‘fragrance oil' are synthetic and do not have any of the healing properties of pure essential oils. You get what you pay for.

Despite its high price tag, pure rose oil is probably the best oil for opening the heart to love and joy. Jasmine and neroli oils also work well and are a more affordable price.

Tea-tree oil is a must have for first aid as an antiseptic, for mouth ulcers or for fungal complaints, including thrush. Remember to dilute it heavily in water first. Peppermint oil can neutralize even the strongest odours. Neat lavender oil takes the itchiness out of insect bites, provided the skin is not broken. Bergamot is extremely effective for getting rid of cold sores.

Wherever possible use essential oils like lavender, lemon, orange and peppermint to make your own cleaning agents. Aromatherapy oils can also be added to your own shampoo and cosmetic bases as well as homemade soaps. These reduce the number of toxic synthetic fragrances in your environment, lessening the burden on your immune system and assisting you in holding a higher vibration.

Is it normal to not be able to sing AT ALL after recovering from being sick?

I'm a singer, and I don't recall this happening since I haven't been this sick in a long time. I had just lost my voice for two weeks and it just a horrendous cold. But today for the first time since I got sick I did my daily vocal routine with my warm ups, gargled salt water, drank lemon juice and honey and did my warm up songs, but when I'm singing I'm completely out of tune and I feel like I can't control my breath control. I don't see my vocal coach for a while though.

Is this normal for singers after recovery?

It is not usual for this to happen. It is possible though.
However, if you are not finished your infection, and if you have a staph or strep infection, it is possible that it is still causing this to happen.
It is possible you may need antibiotics.
It is also possible that even though your main cold symptoms have disappeared your throat has not, and it may take it a little more time.
I would suggest you see a doctor as your voice is very important to you, and you should see if anything more significant is going on.
