Buyer beware.


At the local vegetable market I noticed a brown dove was perched high on the rafters, clearly too terrified to go out the open doors as people kept coming and going.

I came back later in the day when the market was over only to find that the bird was still in there with doors locked!

I returned early in the morning with a key and opened the back door and windows and waited patiently for some time but it just sat there terrified. I put water and seed down. Nothing. I tried standing on a chair with a broom and gently talking to it and moving the broom handle towards it. It just flew from one rafter to the other.

I gave up and went home to get my diffuser and Peace & Calming oil. I plugged it in and went to get a wildlife expert who I had found at the market. He came in and we stood there discussing the situation. The diffuser had been going about 10 minutes by this stage.

By the time we stopped talking and turned around the bird had flown out the window and we hadn't even noticed! I felt the oil helped relax the bird enough to gather courage and fly out. I could not have coped with knowing it was in there another night alone, and terrified!

4.Associated topics: stress-/-tension-/-burnout — "Most studies, as well as clinically applied experience, have indicated that various essential oils, such as lavender, lemon and bergamot can help to relieve stress, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. Most notably, inhalation of essential oils can communicate signals to the olfactory system and stimulate the brain to exert neurotransmitters (e.g. serotonin and dopamine), thereby further regulating mood."Link
5.Associated topics: stress-/-tension-/-burnout — "The ylang ylang oil caused a significant decrease of blood pressure and a significant increase of skin temperature. At the behavioral level, subjects in the ylang ylang oil group rated themselves more calm and more relaxed than subjects in the control group. These findings are likely to represent a relaxing effect of the ylang ylang oil and provide some evidence for the usage of the ylang ylang oil in aromatherapy such as causing a relief of depression and stress in humans."Link

The present study suggests that inhalation of lavender essential oil may be an effective and safe treatment modality in acute management of migraine headaches."Link
