Some suggestions:

• Digestive problems: gentle massage over the stomach and abdomen (blend 3 to 5 drops of essential oil in 10 ml of carrier oil) or apply hot compresses (add 4 or 5 drops of essential oil to a bowl of warm water, soak a clean cloth or sterile gauze in the water and apply).

• An excellent massage oil can be made by blending 1 drop of Clary Sage, 1 drop of Roman Chamomile and 2 drops of Sandalwood in 10ml of Sweet Almond oil.
• This essential oil "can help to reduce excessive production of sebum, especially on the scalp and can be put in a final rinsing water after shampooing, for people with very greasy hair and dandruff" (Patricia Davis, Aromatherapy).
