In this special 100th episode of the Vetiver Vibes podcast, co-hosts Nikki Fraser and Rachael Dean celebrate a significant milestone: six years of their journey in the world of aromatherapy and the release of their 100th episode of Vetiver Vibes. As certified clinical aromatherapists, we reflect on our growth, the challenges we've faced, and the evolution of our podcast over the years.

We kick off the episode by acknowledging the importance of surpassing the five-year mark in business, a time when many ventures falter. We share our feelings of accomplishment and security in our roles, having transitioned from a phase of uncertainty to one of confidence and independence. Our discussion highlights the importance of resilience and adaptability in both our business and personal lives.

Throughout the episode, we express our gratitude to our listeners, students, and community members who have supported us along the way. We emphasize how our podcast has become a platform for sharing knowledge and connecting with individuals worldwide, with students from over 50 countries engaging with our courses.

As we reminisce about our favourite podcast episodes, we highlight some standout guests, including Teresa Triebi, who discussed transformational breathwork, and Nikki Ojeda, who introduced us to the world of tarot. We also celebrate the popularity of our frankincense episode with Robin Kessler, which has resonated with many listeners due to the oil's significance and versatility.

In addition to reflecting on past episodes, we address frequently asked questions from our audience, such as the importance of diluting essential oils when using them topically, the reasons behind photosensitivity, and the necessity of using carrier oils in baths. We provide clear, informative answers to these questions, reinforcing our commitment to safe and effective aromatherapy practices.

Looking ahead, we share exciting news about the development of a new 200-hour aromatherapy course, which will cater to those who already have a background in anatomy and physiology. This course aims to bridge the gap for professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge of aromatherapy without repeating foundational courses.

As we wrap up this celebratory episode, we express our heartfelt appreciation for the journey we've shared and the community we've built. We invite our listeners to continue exploring the world of aromatherapy with us and to reach out if they are interested in joining us as guests on future episodes.

Thank you for being a part of our journey, and here's to many more episodes of Vetiver Vibes!

In this episode of the Vetiver Vibes podcast, Rachael and Nikki dive into the fascinating world of geranium essential oil, which happens to be Nikki’s second favourite oil.

Nikki shares her personal journey of how she transitioned from disliking geranium to craving it during her last pregnancy. Rachael, on the other hand, remains skeptical about geranium, humorously challenged to use it this week.

As we explore the benefits of geranium, we highlight its chemical constituents, particularly citronellol, which contributes to its anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory properties. We discuss its uses in skincare, women's health, and emotional support, emphasizing its ability to help with anxiety and stress.

In a fun twist, we pull a card from the Oracle of the Essence deck, landing on Juniper Berry, which encourages self-reflection and balance. We wrap up the episode with affirmations that resonate with both the geranium and juniper berry, inviting our listeners to embrace their journeys.

In this episode of the Vetiver Vibes podcast, Rachael and Nikki dive into the fascinating world of coriander essential oil, known botanically as coriandrum sativum.

We share our personal experiences with essential oils over the past week, including Nikki’s commitment to using patchouli in her bath blend and Rachael's uplifting citrus inhaler to combat the winter blues. As we transition into spring, we reflect on the emotional and physical benefits of coriander, including its ability to aid digestion and promote mental clarity.

Additionally, we explore the spiritual aspects of coriander, noting its connection to the navel and solar plexus chakras, and how it can help release emotional blocks and encourage creativity. We also touch on safety considerations, emphasizing that coriander is generally safe to use unless oxidized.

To wrap up the episode, we pull cards from the Aromatherapy Insight deck, featuring patchouli and myrrh, both of which offer unique benefits and insights. We encourage our listeners to embrace the affirmation: "I release what holds me back, embracing clarity, creativity, and the courage to move forward with ease and balance."
