Heart notes define an aromatherapy blend, lending a bridge from heavier base notes to highly intense top notes. They can guide and transform all the essential oils into a unique exquisite aromatic experience. Knowing compatibility is a great part of the art of aromatherapy.

Our old roses are in full bloom! In aromatherapy, roses carry the heart or middle note, which carries the greatest potential of a blend. The low and high notes chosen for the blend releases and entirely unique fragrance, lifting in harmonious layers of scent. It can be worn for fragrance alone or also used to nourish and beautify the skin.

Fill a 1-ounce glass amber bottle with a tight-fitting cap. Choose a carrier oil, such as sweet almond, marula or red raspberry oil. For rose blends, consider using a mild low note to extend the blend. Frankincense helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and regenerates skin. Mysore Sandalwood is anti-inflammatory, soothing redness and acne prone skin. Ylang can be used as a low or high note. As a low note, it helps skin elasticity.

Always add the low note first in every blend. A general amount is 6 drops in a 1-ounce bottle. a blend of 2 or 3 low notes many be used. Keep the amount to 6 drops.

Next add 15 drops of rose or a combination of heart notes. Rose blends well with Jasmine, Gardenia and Rose Geranium. a spicier blend will have 2 drops of Cinnamon and /or Cardamom. Black Spruce adds a light woody aroma and is beneficial for bone integrity.

Lavender also blends well with rose. Provence lavender is the best choice. Add 3-4 drops, 1 drop at a time to support but not overwhelm the rose. A combination of heart notes will reduce the amount of rose oil to use.

The last essential oils added are high note, creating an alluring effect for the blend. High notes are the first scent noticed in a blend. Add 9 drops total. Citrus and black pepper blend well with rose. Neroli is the most fragrant, lifting the person from sad or anxious feelings. Bergamot is less expensive. Use the Bergapten free bergamot to avoid sun sensitivity for the skin. Ylang extra is a great choice, if not used as a low note.

Store the tightly capped blend in a cool dark place for 10 days, up to 30 days for the blend to completely become unique. Do not refrigerate.

This blend can also help hormone balance and soothe arthritic and muscle discomfort.

It should be your first choice for a romantic invitation. Be sure to wear a few drops on the neck and wrist.

For over 44 years I have researched and documented how roses affect every part of our major cultures since ancient times. Roses were used in prayer, foods and beverages, medicines, skincare, haircare, natural perfumes, celebrations, births, deaths, emotional trauma and to attract lovers. ancients understood roses to raise and intensify life experiences in beautiful ways.

My Mother used to soak roses my Dad grew in water and drink the water, saying "it makes you feel good", but how?

I remember from physics that everything living has an electromagnetic frequency and is in constant motion. All is measured in a standard system of units as electromagnetic radiation and sound waves that pass a point in 1 second. Hertz measures 1 wave cycle per second. Kilohertz measures 1000 waves per second of sound. Megahertz measures 1 million sound waves per second of sound.

A wavelength is measured between the distance of crests or peaks. The shorter the wavelength, the the higher the frequency will measure. This frequency is a measurement of  constant vibration motion of sound. For example, 1 megahertz is close to the center of A M broadcasting radio waves.

Megahertz measures sound waves beyond human hearing. Ultrasound exceeds 200 megahertz. Cats and dogs can hear sound on the lower end of of ultrasound. Very high frequency is used in medical imaging for MRI and PET scans.

In comparison, Roses, especially antique roses, have the highest plant frequency at 320 megahertz! Lavender, another lovely herb with fragrance is 118 megahertz. Compare these measurements to humans, resonating from 5 to 16  megahertz. For a human to experience joy, happiness, 30 megahertz is needed. It only takes 40 megahertz to enhance the frontal cognitive thinking mode.

Roses and other flowers have a consciousness that raises our frequency to enjoy more in life. They sense our feelings, pain and energy. This is called Primary Perception. Plants see light and color. Recently, scientists have discovered plants can make neurotransmitters without having a brain. They may be instrumental in finding ways to change brain chemistry affecting many diseases in the future.

Roses communicate their aroma to us in 1/100th of a second, raising our frequency in ways we experience as joy, alertness, increased awareness and compassion.

In my research in hospitals, clinics and private practice and experiences, I used antique rose and flower essences to beneficially affect personality traits, self talk and help recuperating from emotional and physical trauma. Roses reduce triggers from painful memories, allowing the personality to correct deficiencies and experience greater success.

The effects are immediate, yet subtle and profound. One mother, bought a rose essence for her son, who politely refused it. She decided to wear it. Weeks later, I met her again and hardly recognized her. She was radiant and beautiful, moving through life challenges with grace. Her son had recently decided to use the essence also. She came for a refill.

a friend was putting 2 drops of a rose essence in her husband's coffee to enhance his mood. son didn't believe it could help until they were stuck in a Dallas- Ft. Worth airport traffic jam. As her husband's mood changed for the worse, her son exclaimed, " Get the drops, Mom!".

Roses affect us in many beneficial ways. Explore hundreds of recipes, remedies, foods, beverages, aromas, skincare, pet and child care using roses you can also learn to grow and enjoy. These roses originated millions of years ago and evolved to support and celebrate humans and nature. You will never look at roses the same way after reading Antique Rose Collection with over 100 colored photos of the most ancient to modern roses.

For the past 35 years Harmony and Relaxation therapeutic blends have been used successfully in patient care to reduce the Nocebo effect. The blends are used before and after chemotherapy and cancer treatment at Baylor Hospital's Healing Environment program in Dallas and Irving Texas Patient care began with bone marrow and stem cell patents and quickly spread throughout all departments, including speech therapy. Topical application allows the aromas to be used with other modalities.

The Nocebo effect occurs when expectations and negative suggestions cause symptoms or illness to occur. Nocebo effect is both biochemical and physiological, displaying with a variety of cues. Cortisol and histamine levels dramatically increase, targeting adrenal and hypothalamus involvement. Recently, Ted Kaptchuk at Harvard medical, proved Nocebo occurs without conscious awareness.

 Therapeutic aroma blends lessen anxiety and unconscious responses. I have clinically used Harmony and Reduce Stress essences in the United Kingdom and USA for over 25 years to balance a full spectrum of stress. These aromas change brain chemistry within seconds affecting moods and fears. Given a repose from the stress response, the brain can adjust to homeostasis.

Headaches are a common source of pain and often mysterious in nature. Most headaches are related to tension and muscle tightening in the neck and base of the skull. Stress, alignment and ergonomics are often the cause of tension headaches. Aromatherapy is increasing in use for helping reduce headache and sinus pain. These are non-invasive aromatherapy pain products that are topically applied and may be safely used concurrently with over the counter and prescription medications.

Relax the Shoulders lotion massaged onto the neck, collarbone and shoulders is best for tension headaches. Deep Massage essence blend applied on the temples and across the forehead help reduce cyclical pain and pain receptors. Each pain aromatherapy blend is calming and soothing. Relaxation and Reduce Stress blends promote calmness and stamina to reduce everyday stressors.

Migraine headaches have several symptoms: sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, auras, tingling, clumsiness and difficulty communicating and hearing. Many factors trigger migraines: hormone imbalance, weather, stress, fatigue, hunger, diet, trauma and neck injuries. Sufferers should use these pain aromatherapy products: Deep Massage daily, and Relax the Shoulders lotion on the neck and shoulders twice daily.

Sinusitis and subsequent headaches and facial pain are best helped with Decongest aroma blend lightly massaged around the nose, cheeks, on the temples and forehead. The Sinus spray can be used throughout the day for quick relief. Allergy blend is also used when common allergens cause sinusitis.

Ear infections are common to most children by the age of three. Deep Massage blend can be worn to reduce pain during medical treatment. Unwind aroma blend worn behind the ears and/or side of the neck increase drainage and may help reduce re-occurrence. If re-occurrence continues, dietary changes may be needed.
