Busting the myth about essential oils, Amy Anthony shares the benefits of aromatherapy.

Listed as one of America’s most influential aromatherapists, Amy Anthony is currently the New York State representative for the Alliance of International Aromatherapists and has her private practice called NYC Aromatica which includes one-on-one customized aromatherapy sessions, online class offerings, corporate consulting and article writing.

Among America’s top certified Aromatherapists and self-proclaimed Aromatic Gardner, Amy is a sought after voice on how essential oils can support our health, connect us with nature, enhance mental clarity and help cope with life’s overall challenges.

Host of the Essential Aromatica podcast, Amy also tends her own aromatic garden on the North Fork of Long Island where she houses her artisanal distillery, and creates unique blends for her clients.

On the show, we will talk about:

1. The critical, genuine and authentic role essential oils may play in supporting overall health, recovery and menopause.
2. The relief essential oils can provide for menopausal symptoms.
3. Key essential oils for supporting wellness and vitality.
4. Safety concerns and guidelines regarding essential oil usage and application.

Some of the recommendations made by Amy:

• Rose Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens): overall balancing 
• Ylang ylang (Canaga odorata): sensual, languid, reminiscent of Jasmine but definitely has its own presence. (Here's a piece I wrote about Ylang ylang: Plant Talk with Ylang Ylang Essential Oil - NYC Aromatica)
• Vetiver(Chrysopogon zizanioides): I like to blend this one with Rose (Rosa damascena) for grounding and cooling, this goes for the mind, skin and yes, hot flushes. It is calming, cooling stability. 

For Sleep: 

Some of the classics are Lavender (of course!), Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis) and Valerian root.  
A classic sleep mist: put 2 ounces of distilled water into a 2-ounce spray bottle, add the following essential oils; always shake before using. Spray your pillow and even your hair 2-3 times before going to bed: 

• 24 drops Lavandula angustifolia essential oil
• 3 drops Roman chamomile essential oil
• 3 drops Vetiver essential oil
