Aromatherapy and Grief

Blends to Help Cope with Grief

These blends can help during times of grief. Rose is noted to be especially helpful during times of grief, so you will notice that it is an ingredient in all of the below blends. When selecting and using oils, be sure to follow all safety precautions and remember that aromatherapy should not be used as a substitute for proper medical treatment.
