For your wedding anniversary this time, you planned a lovely evening, complete with a sumptuous dinner by the Candle light. Though everything went right according to your plans, it were the Candles that spoiled the evening. First, the table got all dirty with burnt wax all over it. Second, the soot and smoke marred the romantic atmosphere.
The ordinary Candles that we get in the market are made out of paraffin. Paraffin is a petroleum-based product and thus results in more soot and smoke when the Candle is burnt. So, if you are using these Candles, be prepared for the unclean burning. However, if you want to avoid these, go for aromatherapy Candles.
Aromatherapy Candles are made from Essential Oils of plants. And lighting the room is only a secondary feature of these Candles; the primary use is in stimulating oneself physiologically and therapeutically. It is well known that aromas and fragrances are effective for evoking mood and emotions. So if you are looking forward to romantic evening, just use aromatherapy Candles and see how your beau says just the right words.
Twitter This!There has been a growing trend in the use of essential oils. The increasing variety of bath products in the health and beauty market gives us an idea of what customers are looking for. No longer are consumers satisfied with synthetic essences, but we are finding that more and more people are looking at the quality of the products they are purchasing.
You too can create your own unique blend of quality soaps, bath salts, massage oils, and creams with essential oils. Using quality base products (essential oils, carrier oils, beeswax, soaps, salts, and creams), create bath products just the way you like them. When you purchase ready made products, some may be too strong or too light. Some products may claim to have a certain level or purity or certification and still not be as effective as they claim to be. Remove the uncertainty by being able to create your own health and beauty products.
Twitter This!Okay ladies, we all want to look our best, feel our best, and be at our best and honestly at times that can be darn challenging! We work all day and then come home and work all night and then wonder why our complexion isn’t peaches and cream. We wonder why our skin is chapped and why our hair just never seems to look as great as the ladies in those shampoo commercials. Well ladies, here it is! Your ultimate beauty regimen custom made for you! By the way, it’s custom because you decide which essential oils to use.
Water sprays with a few drops of essential oils are handy for that quick pick-me-ups needed throughout the day. The sprays are easy to make and it’s a good idea to keep several different ones available for whatever need might arise. The rosemary mist is an invigorating post shower spray that you can apply after you’ve towel dried. Combine 6 drops of rosemary essential oil and a rosemary sprig with one teaspoon of olive in 5 ounces of water. You can also create other sprays using 6 drops of essential oil in 5 ounces water. The grapefruit essential oil is also known to promote feelings of happiness and peace and to combat feelings of fatigue and exhaustion.
Twitter This!Today, people are expected in accomplish more in less time. Talk about stress! While we can’t just quit our jobs or detach from life, we can enhance the environment we’re in to help us deal with the pressures that come our way. Essential oils can be blended to help aid in our emotional well being. Here are a few essential oils and some ways to use them at work.
You can purchase ready made products from local retailers, but if you want to try something new and create your own product, here are a couple of recipes you can use. For the spritz spray, add 20 drops to 5 ounces of water and swirl. If you let the spray sit for any time, just remix by swirling the bottle and spray. For the massage oil, blend 10 drops of essential oil with 1 ounce of carrier oil. The mixes have a shelf life. If you see any discoloration, it’s time to make (or buy) a new batch.

Those who have used essential oils before becoming pregnant will probably want to use them during their pregnancy. Some people will want to try them for the first time while expecting. However, it’s important to know how to use essential oils safely during pregnancy.
There are many essential oils and blends of oils that just aren’t safe to use during pregnancy. Some herbs that are used in cooking should be avoided in their essential oils forms during all nine months of pregnancy. These include basil, bay leaves, sage, thyme, and oregano. Others are clove, marjoram, and wintergreen.
Some of the essential oils are safe for use after the first trimester. There are remedies for many of the discomforts of pregnancy. For example, women often have morning sickness that lasts beyond the first trimester. If so, they can breathe in oil of peppermint, spearmint, or lemon.
It is easy to end up feeling tense and full of muscle pain when you are pregnant. If this happens, a massage could be just the thing you need. With the essential oils of lavender and chamomile mixed with vegetable oil, your partner can help ease away that tension.

A lot of scientific research is being done on aromatherapy and the effects it has on our body, mind and emotions. However, hard research supporting the healing power is limited. I often see the effect that different smells have on people. It is very interesting to watch someone inhale a fragrance deeply and say Oh, that smells so good!?And then two minutes later another person inhales the same fragrance and their response is Oh, that stinks!?as they remove the scent quickly away from their nose.
However, it is not simply the aroma that is important, but also the chemical interaction between the essential oils and the body and the physical changes brought about. Each essential oil has its own individual combination of constituents which interact with your bodys chemistry and produces specific therapeutic effects.
Twitter This!Aromatherapy has become something of a buzzword for the health and beauty industries. But it is actually a type of alternative medicine that goes back to the early twentieth century. Contrary to popular belief, true aromatherapy is not merely the use of scents to alter mood. It is the use of fragrant essential oils to treat a variety of ailments. And one of the most frequent uses of aromatherapy is in the fight against stress and anxiety.
Aromatherapy is ideal for anxiety sufferers who are apprehensive about using prescription drugs. While aromatherapy alone won’t cure acute anxiety, it can provide temporary relief. It also works well for those who do not have clinical anxiety but are suffering from unusual amounts of stress.
There are several essential oils that are effective in the treatment of anxiety. These include:
* Lavender – This is one of the most popular aromatherapy oils. Its scent is very pleasant, and it works as a sedative. Lavender oil is found in many commercial products, including baby washes and lotions.
Twitter This!Aromatherapy is a modern term for a healing art that is ages old. Rene Maurice Gattefosse, a French perfume chemist, created the term in the 1920’s when he published a scientific research paper titled ‘aromatherapy.’
Lavender is thought to be one of the few items Adam and Eve carried out of the Garden of Eden.
Queen Elizabeth I drank an abundance of Lavender tea to help ease her Migraines and used it as a body perfume.
Queen Victoria is most notable for making Lavender popular across England and it could be found, in one form or another, in every one of her rooms, as she used it to wash floors and furniture, freshen the air, A.D.H.D.it strewn among the linens.
Gattefosse encountered the healing properties of Lavender when he plunged his arm into a vat of Lavender oil. He had obtained a 3rd degree burn during a laboratory accident and intended to submerge his arm in water; however, he synchronistically mistook the Lavender for water. The Lavender not only reduced his pain – through several repeated applications his arm healed with no scarring.
Twitter This!* Eucalyptus is an effective analgesic and often used to relieve muscle, nerve and joint pain. Apply a massage oil to the affected area before a warm bath, then massage the area again after your bath. I like a blend of Lavender and Eucalyptus for even better results. When massaging small areas like a shoulder you can double the amount of Essential Oils used. ex. 20-30 drops per 1 oz. Carrier Oil.
* Keep Eucalyptus oil in your shower and add just a drop on top of the shower knob when you turn on the spray. It will smell like a spa.

22. Anise oil has been used by fishermen for years. Use a drop or two on the fingertips before baiting up. Anise covers up the human scent that scares the fish away.
