I'm sure you've noticed how scent can affect your mood.
For instance, your sitting in your office cubicle and a co-worker walks by smelling as if she fell into a vat of insect repellent. You don't know what perfume she's using but you're sure it could repel a swarm of killer bees. Your eyes water, your nose itches and you feel yourself becoming irritated. Or you're walking to your car, heading for work, and your neighbor is mowing his lawn. The smell of freshly cut grass sends your mind back to your childhood when you and your friends had the run of the neighborhood. The memory brings a smile to your face and a rush of nostalgia floods your heart.
It's long been known that there is a correlation between scent and our emotions.
But did you know it can also affect our health?
Enter Aromatherapy. I know what you're thinking. You've heard it all before. Burn scented candles or oil diffusers in your home to create a peaceful environment and reduce stress. It's all New Age fluff right? Well, actually not so much. Yes, you can use essential oils to scent your home, your car, even your aforementioned office cublicle and the scent will help to alleviate your stress. But there are many more uses for these oils than just stress reducing, pleasing aromas.
The use of perfumes and oils can be traced through out history all the way back
to the ancient Egyptians. Oils and perfumes were used in a variety of ways, ranging from worshiping the deities to healing the sick. Not surprising since the essence of these oils and perfumes were extracted from living plant life, which is well know for it's healing properties. In the days when modern pharmaceuticals were not available, Nature provided the cures and without chemically induced side effects.
In our modern world we can use these same beneficial properties for our own unique needs.
Need to up your production at work but have trouble focusing? Place a drop of Orange essential oil on a cotton ball and hold it under your nose for a few moments. Pulled a muscle and the gym? Mix up a synergistic blend of Black Pepper, Eucalyptus and Sweet Marjoram. Asthma? The right blend of Clary Sage, Cypress, and Frankincense can help relieve symptoms.
On the home front, imagine the time saved shopping, not to mention money wasted on products that don't do as they claim, when you mix up your own uniquely tailored body washes and facial scrubs. Stubborn Acne?
Try whipping up a clay mask using Basil, Lemon Grass, and Sweet Orange oils. Cellulite?
Use some massage oil containing Grapefruit, Juniper Berry and Rosemary.
Each essential oil contains components, which can be used in such ways as to relieve pain, balance hormones, reduce excess water retention and even calm a cranky baby. You can also mix up your own room sprays and carpet fresheners.
Essential oils are simple to use. Just make sure that the oils you buy are pure essential oils and not synthetics. Synthetics have been altered and beneficial properties removed. They will not have the same effect. Also if you're going to use Aromatherapy to treat any medical condition it's best to run it by your doctor first. Aromatherapy is not meant to take the place of proper medical care. Some of these oils are very potent and can aggravate certain conditions and allergies. They can also have a negative reaction when used with certain medications.
