Serenity Spell Healing Potion | Multi-Stress Blend 1 in The Aromatherapy Apothecary

Safety first

Familiarize yourself with aromatherapy and do a skin patch test before using any essential oil. Learn what you need to know with The Ultimate Aromatherapy for Beginners Guide here

As always, consult a trusted healthcare practitioner before trying any essential oils.

See below for contraindications and age requirements before trying this recipe.

Most oils/blends have a three week time limit of use. Because of this, I recommend having a waxing moon blend and a waning moon blend for every need. That’s why there are two blends for many of the same things.

Most oils/blends are best at a 2% dilution, but some oils are better at much less like peppermint, pepper, and cardamom. (Half of the adult dilution or less for children, see dilution info below).

Oils/Blends are typically meant to be used up to 3 times a day unless otherwise stated.

If an oil occurs throughout multiple blends you are currently using, this needs to be taken into account in terms of dosing frequency and length of time.

See all specific info for every oil of every recipe before using.

Never take essential oils internally.

When using diluted, prepared, aromatherapy blends, a few drops on the wrist or forearm is typically ideal. Use lower dilutions in perfumes and body lotions and any other product intended to be used in a high amount such as a lotion or perfume or room spray.


The Blend

  • 2 drops of Roman Chamomile (C. nobile)

  • 2 drops of Lemon Balm (M. officinalis)

  • 1 drop of Peppermint ( M. piperita)

Recommended Dosage & Length of Usage

Can use up to 3 times daily for three weeks, then cease for three weeks. If using continually, I recommend having a blend for waxing moon phases and a blend for waning moon phases to avoid toxicity.


Why It Works (Actions):

  • Anxiolytic - Essential oil used to prevent or relieve anxiety: Roman Chamomile

  • Antidepressant - Essential oil that counteracts an absence of cheerfulness or diminishing functioning activity: Roman Chamomile

  • Adaptogenic - Essential oil that can help to prevent imbalances that result from stress and can, therefore, prevent or minimize the possible development of stress-related diseases: Peppermint (Mentha ×piperita)

  • Cephalic - Essential oil that is particularly healing to cerebral conditions: Lemon Balm


Methods of use:

  • For a bath, omit peppermint and dilute properly.

  • For topical applications, do not exceed 0.5-1% peppermint dilution. (different for children, see last bullet point)

  • For topical applications, mind the potential photosensitivity of lemon balm if going into sunlight.

  • All methods of use as mentioned in the base recipes guide

  • See the dilution ratios for adults & children here

Cautions & Contraindications

A note about toxicity: toxic constituent refers to the constituent that can become a toxin in your body if used longer than the recommended time or used more than the recommended dosage.

  • Roman Chamomile - Avoid chamomile in the first trimester of pregnancy. For external applications, apply a skin patch test, because it may cause dermatitis in some individuals. If allergic to Ragweed or other members of the Asteraceae family, take extra precautions.

  • Lemon Balm - Not enough information to know if it’s safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Lemon balm may affect thyroid function and could interfere with thyroid medications. People with hypothyroidism or other thyroid conditions should avoid using lemon balm without medical supervision. Lemon balm may cause excessive drowsiness if combined with anesthesia or other medications used during and after surgery. It's recommended to stop using lemon balm at least two weeks before a scheduled surgery. Lemon balm may enhance the effects of sedatives and other central nervous system depressants, such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines. This could lead to excessive drowsiness and slowed breathing. There is some concern that lemon balm may interact with glaucoma medications. The interaction between lemon balm and HIV medications is not well understood, so it's best to avoid using them together. Some people may be allergic to lemon balm or other plants in the mint family. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as skin rash, itching, or swelling, discontinue use immediately and continue removing with carrier oil, whole milk, or plain yogurt. Lemon balm can cause drowsiness in some people, so it's important to be cautious when using it, especially if you are driving or operating machinery.

  • Peppermint - Toxic constituents are menthol, menthone, piperitone, and thymol. According to Tisserand, it is necessary to avoid using the oil in the first three months of pregnancy or while nursing. avoid use with children younger than two years as it can cause a frightening cold then hot sensation if the dilution is not low enough. Avoid with homeopathics. Topically for adults, use for a limited time only (i.e., no more than three consecutive weeks) and keep at a 2% or less dilution. Do not use it directly on damaged or sensitive skin without a skin patch test. Do not get it in your eyes. If you do wipe your eye by mistake after handling peppermint M. ×piperita, flush copiously with cold water or milk. It will not cause permanent damage.
