Bergamot (Citrus bergamia)
Ingredient In: LeBaby Me, LeBeloved, LeDreams, LeEverlasting, LeFaith, LeHeart Song, LeRevitalize
Therapeutic Properties: anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, disinfectant.
Affinity For: digestive system, endocrine system, hormone balance, metal element, wood element, water element, yang energy, heart chakra
Resonance: emotional, physical
Plant Family: Rutaceae
Part of Plant Used: fruit
Application: It is always recommended to dilute bergamot well. Well diluted bergamot becomes soothing and emollient; not diluted sufficiently, it can be irritating to skin.
Aromatic Considerations: Bergamot is a sweet smelling citrus oil, with a warm floral scent that is unusual among the citrus oils. Bergamot, diffused, is said to repair the aura and make one feel ‘young at heart’.
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects: bergamot has a special affinity for the liver meridian, it encourages the release of anger and pain that is being held back or held deeply in the body. A person needing bergamot is usually a good listener. They are described by friends and family as cheerful and supportive. Often this cheerfulness is a mask, hiding anger, despair, or depression. It is as though they are carrying the burden of every sad story they have listened to on their own shoulders. They are very angry, but since the stories are not their own they feel they cannot tell them to anyone. The anger they feel becomes repressed and turns inward. The ability of bergamot to relieve anger, nervous depression, anxiety, and hysteria has been well documented in Europe. Bergamot can help us find peace when our heart hurts for other’s distress. Bergamot is excellent in any emotional crisis and in convalescing from an illness. Bergamot raises the spirits and brings light into our lives and lightness to dark and weary days. It is often used in treatments for eating disorders.
Physical Aspects: Bergamot has a great many applications for physical healing. Bergamot is used for urinary tract infections, sore throat, cold sores, bronchitis, and varicose veins. In Italy, bergamot is commonly used in the treatment of intestinal parasites. It is also used in treatments for candida overgrowth and thrush. Bergamot has been shown effective against tuberculosis bacilli. Like all essential oils, bergamot is antimicrobial. It is particularly destructive of bacteria that live in the mouth.
Cautions: Bergamot should be diluted well and used sparingly. Repeated use of bergamot can result in extreme contact sensitization. Bergamot contains bergaptene, which is phototoxic. You should avoid direct sunlight on skin to which bergamot has been applied. This caution applies to more than just an uncomfortable sunburn. Damage to the nuclei of cells has been documented when skin to which bergamot was applied was exposed to ultra-violet light. This photo-toxicity lasts up to 12 hours after the oil has been applied. Using bergamot in a blend does not eliminate its photo-toxicity. There is no problem using this oil as long as you apply it to areas of the body that will not be exposed to ultra-violet light (sunlight or a tanning bed). There are bergamot essential oils available that have had the constituents that create photo-toxicity removed. However, these oils lack both aroma and certain therapeutic qualities.

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum)
Ingredient In: LeEndoRelief, LeGrateful Heart, LeThermaCare, LeWithIn, LeIQ
Therapeutic Properties: sedative, antibacterial, antispasmodic, carminative, antiseptic, deodorant, diuretic, lymphatic decongestant, prostate decongestant, vasoconstrictor, stimulant, tonic, regenerative
Affinity For: digestive system, endocrine system, nerves, circulation, earth meridian, fire meridian, air meridian, water meridian
Resonance: physical, mental
Plant Family: Umbelliferae
Part of plant used: seeds
Application: Coriander should be diluted well and applied as needed.
Aromatic Considerations: The aroma of coriander is like taking a deep breath—breathing out the old ideas, breathing in a new perspective.
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects: Coriander combines a warm, woodsy serenity with the peppery stimulation of a fire meridian remedy. This essential oil is especially appropriate for creative individuals who struggle when locked into situations of predictability and routine. While they need stability and emotional security, they seek these things through passionate involvement with people and causes and not through fear or self protection. Coriander refreshes and revives our spirits. It can be helpful in overcoming fear of failure or fear of making decisions.
Physical Aspects: Coriander is both a gentle stimulant when energy levels are at a low ebb and a sedative in times of stress. Coriander is particularly valuable during convalescence from illness, when energy levels are low and stress is often high. This oil is of benefit for physical, mental, and nervous exhaustion. In an odd combination of sensations, coriander raises our energy levels and makes us feel less irritable and nervous. Coriander relieves muscle aches due to fatigue. Coriander has a marked effect on various aspects of the endocrine system. One of the most important uses for this oil is in balancing glucose levels and supporting pancreatic function. Coriander is estrogenic. It is often beneficial in regulating menstrual cycles and relieving cramping. Coriander is used for digestive problems such as flatulence, nausea, and stomach cramps. It has been used in treatment programs for anorexia.
General Information: Coriander seeds have been used for centuries. Some coriander seeds were found in King Tutankhamen’s tomb. Coriander comes from the seeds of the plant we know as cilantro.
Cautions: Coriander should be used in small quantities and for short periods of time. Over use of this oil can result in a cloudy or stupefied feeling.
Sandalwood (Santalum album)
Ingredient In: LeAcknowledge, LeBenediction, LeDreams, LeEverlasting, LeExhilaration, LeExpressions, LeFocus, LeInner Peace, LeIQ, LeLetting Go, LeMagi, LeMeditation, LeMoonlight, LeTomorrow, LeTrust, LeTurmoil, LeUnity

Affinity For: Pineal, pituitary, skin, lymph, central vessel meridian, triple warmer meridian, gallbladder meridian, vibration between crown and base chakras which affects all of the chakras in between, bladder meridian
Resonance: physical, emotional, energetic, spiritual
Plant Family: Santalaceae
Part of plant Used: wood
Aromatic Considerations: Among sandalwood’s many actions is its ability to give us a sense of inner peace, even when we know that we are heading into difficult challenges
Application: Sandalwood is the favorite essential oil of many people, including me. It should be worn on the body anywhere, at any time, and diffused everywhere
Emotional/Spiritual Aspects: Sandalwood has a very high sesquiterpene percentage. As it crosses the blood/brain barrier it increases oxygen around the pineal and pituitary glands and stimulates the amygdala. This has a profound effect on attitude and emotion. Sandalwood can help us focus outward, loving and accepting others with a full heart. Sandalwood increases our desire to ponder and then act on the perceptions and impressions we have received. (Problem solving is an action of the amygdala.) The energy of sandalwood vibrates between the crown chakra and the base chakra. This makes it both grounding and energizing to the physical body and to the mind. Sandalwood is often used in yoga disciplines and in meditation because it enhances our ability to look inside ourselves and be honest about what we see there. The aroma of sandalwood strengthens the astral body, which is the Chinese way of saying that it improves communication between the physical body and the energetic languages of the mind and spirit. Sandalwood has the ability to go into the DNA of the cells and unlock emotional trauma. It can help us curb manipulative or controlling tendencies in our personalities. Sandalwood essential oil alleviates depression, anxiety, and nervous exhaustion.
Physical Aspects: Some of the many uses of sandalwood include bladder and throat infections, bronchitis, tuberculosis, cystitis, and fluid retention. Sandalwood is an excellent skin and tissue regenerating oil. Sandalwood should probably be part of any program for a chronic type illness.
General Information: Sandalwood is another resource which is being seriously depleted worldwide. It takes a minimum of 30 years to mature a sandalwood tree to its optimum value therapeutically and it is the heartwood of the tree that makes the very best essential oil. These conditions contribute to the fact that sandalwood is often adulterated with something else to extend the quantity. The price of the essential oil is beginning to reflect the difficulties in obtaining this most precious essential oil.
Cautions: Unadulterated sandalwood is absolutely nontoxic.
