"Discover
the Secret to Improving Your Physical
Emotional Health and Restoring Balance to Your Body!"
Since aromatherapy is one of the healing arts that has
enjoyed immense popularity today, so that all you aromatherapy
newbies should start exploing the world of aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy is more for hard working people like us. We
are the ones whose body and soul needs some relaxation,
uplifting, and rejuvenation.
Aromatherapy, however, is not a walk in the park.
There are certain do's
and don'ts that you need to follow to maximize the benefits
and avoid whatever possible risks there are.
Risks? Yes, there are a few undesirables when using aromatherapy
essential oils but that is mostly due to improper use. Some
are actually used as perfume or massage oils, applying them
liberally on the skin. You must take care doing this especially
when applying undiluted essential oils. Some essential oils
like orange or peppermint cause irritation. Diluting the
essential oil in a carrier oil (such as soya been, safflower,
wheat germ, sweet almond oil, avocado, and olive oil) is
always recommended when using it for external applications
including aromatherapy bath and massage.
For internal application, however, I give you this advice:
Don't take essential oils without first consulting your
physician. It may lead to something worse so don't go mixing
essential oils in your tea or drink.
Okay, now on to the good stuff. As a newbie in aromatherapy,
it is easy to get lost in all the different essential oils
out on the market today. You need to learn how to distinguish
from the fake essential oils and genuine ones. The best
way to avoid the inconvenience is to go to a reputable store.
That could be the easiest solution for now but you will
eventually learn the tricks of the trade as you get more
accustomed and knowledgeable to aromatherapy.
Here's a good tip. When buying
essential oils, avoid those brands with rubber tops
covers. There's a good chance that they're not as pure as
they claim. Since essential oils are very concentrated,
they can dissolve or turn rubber tops into gum.
To get you started, it would be best to begin with the
more common and much simpler essential oil blends like lavender
and chamomile. Another good combination is orange and grapefruit,
which by the way, gives your body that energized feel.
Actually, there are still a couple of things that you need
to learn as an aromatherapy newbie. But the warnings and
tips mentioned can get you going for the time being.
