AROMA THERAPY GIFT BASKETS & HOMEMADE BATH STUFF

ENTER,TAKE A DEEP BREATH,RELAX AND ENJOY!

Aroma therapy: Has been around since the beginning of time.
However, it's popularity comes and goes, like a fad, so to speak.
Stress is a natural factor of life, and can have tremendous
adverse effects on our bodies if we allow it to build up.
Aroma therapy can be an easy and enjoyable source of healing,
with the proper tools and adequate knowledge.

Essential oils: Are natural, taken from plants, that rapidly evaporate, and act directly on the nerves of the brain.
When inhaled, they can become absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
When used on the skin,they are absorbed the same way.
Oils have been used for centuries to relax, sedate, refresh and stimulate as needed.
In the art of aroma therapy, using essential oils, a little goes a long way.
Quality is very important when selecting oils. **Never use an oil that causes adverse reaction or irritability, you are probably allergic, which would not be therapeutic!

The sense of smell plays an important part in our perception of places and situations.
When blending oils for perfume,listen through your nose,be receptive, as scents are not created immediately. They interact with the user and the surroundings.
We not only SMELL, but we can FEEL scents as well!

AS YOU WANDER THROUGH THIS LIFE, TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE FLOWERS!

Here are a few of my favorite recipes, using essential oils.
If you don't know anything about oils,
please inquire before buying or using, as they are all different and very potent.
Some can be harmful if not used properly,
but for the most part, they can take your feelings and emotions to a whole different planet! circum gif

ESSENTIAL OILS

LAVENDER: light,floral and clear. Used for anxiety, depression, antiseptic.
For a relaxing and peaceful evening, use 10 drops in your bath water or 6-8 drops in a diffuser and put near your bedside.
For depression or anxiety, put 4-5 drops on a tissue and carry it with you.
For a refreshing facial, add 8-10 drops to your favorite cleanser, or add to jojoba oil. This is a very good antiseptic, as well.

ROSEMARY: strong,clear,penetrating and refreshing. Used for depression, anxiety, antispasmodic,sore muscles.
After a long hard day, add 10 drops to bath water and soak for about 15 minutes.
In a diffuser, or lamp ring, put 5-7 drops and just relax. This will clear your head and cleanse your nose.
If you are a smoker, or know one, Rosemary is very good to grow and keep near your entry way to your home. Just brush across a rosemary bush and all hideous odors disappear.
Facial: use 5-7 drops on a cotton pad and wipe face gently. It's astringent properties are wonderful for sagging or puffiness, but be careful not to get in eyes.

PEPPERMINT: sharp, menthol fragrance. Used for nausea, head and muscle aches, energizing. Can be irritating to the skin, but has a cooling effect when hot and warm effect when cold. Peppermint has been known to have a calming effect on children with ADD.
For a cool refreshing bath, add 2-4(do not use more than this)drops to bath water and soak for 15 minutes.
For tired aching muscles, add 3 drops peppermint, 5 drops lavender and soak in lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes.
For congestion, add 1 drop peppermint, 2 drops eucalyptus oil in a bowl of hot water, cover the head with a towel, lean over the bowl and take in some deep breaths.
