Menopause Hot Flash Spray

This recipe was very helpful when I went through menopause. It is taken from the book, "A Complete Guide to Understanding and Using Aromatherapy for Vibrant Health and Beauty" by Roberta Wilson. She calls is "Cool Flash Spray" and it's on page 164.

8 ounces distilled water
4 drops clary sage oil
3 drops chamomile oil
3 drops geranium oil
2 drops cypress oil
1 drop peppermint oil

Pour the water into a spray bottle, add the essential oils, and shake to blend. Spritz yourself whenever you feel a hot flash coming. Refrigerate the spray for even greater effect. Shake well before each use.
