Hangover Cure Part 4: Hangover Belly Rub


Bubble!

 Here's Part 4 of my Hangover series. See Part 1 here, Part 2 here, and Part 3 here.






A recap of the regimen (with links):
Okay, you've just gotten out of a stimulating shower, you're marinating in your wake up/feel
good oil, and now it's time for some tea and a Hangover Belly Rub. Rub that belly! 

 

The Recipe

Note: This recipe appears in Ms. Jeanne Rose’s Aromatherapy Herbal Studies Course.

4 drops Fennel essential oil
2 drops Juniper
essential oil
1 drop Sage
essential oil
1 ounce carrier oil


Mix this stuff together in a glass or PET bottle. It will last a while in the fridge. The blend smells like licorice, and is very very soothing and wonderful.


What it Does

This belly oil is really good for nausea and bloating. It actually works. The smell is very very pleasant and will raise your spirits, too.

 Fennel

Foeniculum vulgare: digestive, tonic, soothe nervous respiratory disorders (too many cigarettes at the bar?). 


Time to fumigate that thing, girl!

Juniper

Juniperus communis: expectorant, digestive, astringent, respiratory ailments, depression, and nervous disorders, de-congestant, detoxifier. Siberian shamans use Juniper smoke to fumigate their tambourines. This may come in handy after a festival.


Sage

Salvia officinalis: antiviral, astringent, emmenagogue, anti-depressant, good for mental strain and  exhaustion. Dried sage was/is burned by Indians and new-agers everywhere to cleanse spaces and people of negative energy. Cleanse that house! Cleanse that head!
