Aromatherapy And Your Sense Of Well Being
Catherine Olivia
Who doesn't smell a loaf of homemade bread baking, or fresh
baked chocolate chip cookies and not close their eyes and
remember simpler, happier days? Smell is a very strong sense
which can evoke many different types of emotions. Aromatherapy
is the use of specific essential oils to help rebalance,
harmonize and promote spiritual health and a feeling of well
being.
While lavender helps one to relax, and can be used in
conjunction with meditation, mint and rosemary are stimulating
and uplifting and are great pick-me-ups used in a morning
shower. Oils such as lemon and tree tea are used to help
healing of wounds and infections. These oils can be mixed in a
base cream.
Baths with essential oils are very popular. Chamomile and
peppermint can be used to sooth tired and aching muscles and
make a wonderful soaking bath. If, with research you find you
want to blend your own essential oils for bathing, they can be
diluted in a base of powdered milk, sea salts, or milk.
Inhaling is another way to use aromatherapy and is most
beneficial to aid some respiratory disorders such as
bronchitis, hay fever or sinusitis. Inhalation can be done in a
variety of ways, through steam or by use of an electric
diffuser, which are easily available in many stores. Don't
forget aromatherapy candles!
It seems that manufacturers have caught on to the popularity of
aromatherapy and they are now incorporating aromatherapy into
their products, including it in things such as cosmetics and
hair care products.
Aromatherapy is used in the US by some medical practitioners
such as massage therapists, and naturopaths. Aromatherapy is
widely accepted in France and Britain and is even taught in
medical schools there.
