Organic Aromatherapy

Fall is here and winter is quickly approaching which means one thing, the holidays!  If you can believe it, they will be here very very soon.

During the holiday season we all seem to want to burn candles to create a romantic setting or just have the scents of the season fill the air.  One of the more famous scents of the season is frankincense.  This pillar candle is 2.75 X 5 and burns for approximately 70 hours.  It has a wonderful aroma of both Frankincense and Lavendar essential oils.

Lazy Days Bath Salt is a great way to chill out from your life.  Lazy Days Bath Salt is a combination of mineral salts and lavender essential oil. 

Traditional hot salt baths will help draw toxins out of your body as it opens up your pores and the toxic waste purges through your skin.  Lazy Days Bath Salt will also replenish what is lost from rigorous exercise and all of your other daily stresses.

The Christmas season is quickly approaching.  I for one am determined to get my Christmas shopping done early this year.  That way I can relax and just enjoy the season.

I’m always looking for unique gifts to give to my friends and family.  I found a truly unique Christmas gift with this.  It is a Frankincense & Myrrh Gift Set.  Is there a better gift to give that matches the reason for the season?  You will receive the story of the Gifts of the Magi and along with it, a dram of frankincense and myrrh.  It even comes in a pretty gold mesh bag.

We know that lavender essential oil is the useful essential oil, it is good for just about everything and is very mild to anyone using it.  Just a few of the common uses of lavender essential oil is treating eczema and wounds (typical ailments of the skin).  Chamomile essential oil is calming to the skin and helps reduce redness, relives dryness and aids with itchy and flaky skin.

When you combine the two, you get twice the healing and soothing effects for your skin.  This is why I really do like Lavender and Chamomile bath and body oil.  It is extremely soothing to the skin and leaves a fresh scent with you for the entire day.

The medical establishment has derived a number of techniques over the years to deal with depression, and many of these take the form of prescription drugs. The side effects of pills can be just as damaging in their own way as the disease they are meant to treat, and pharmaceuticals aren’t always the answer. In the case of mild depression, aromatherapy could be used as a viable treatment option. Essential oils work to naturally soothe the body and ease the mind.

The sandalwood fragrance has long been associated with treatments for depression, anxiety and nervousness. Rather than reaching for the nearest pill or drowning your sorrows in alcohol, try relaxing with a healthy, natural alternative. The positive effects of aromatherapy may differ greatly on a case-by-case basis, but you’ll never know how it may affect you until you give it a try.

Essential oils have been diffused into the air for years and years.  They have been used in ceremonial rituals, aromatic fumigation’s, treatments of ailments and for simple mood enhancing. 

One of the easiest ways to begin using essential oils is to diffuse them into the air.  A battery operated diffuser is easy to use and is just about silent.  Just place a couple of drops of your favorite oil on the pad, pop in a battery and let the diffuser do the work.  You can place this in your home, office or even your car.  I like to use them in the bathrooms mainly because you don’t have to worry about an open flame on a candle.

By now you’re undoubtedly aware of the many health benefits associated with aromatherapy. From relieving stress to treating insomnia, there are precious few ills this all-natural technique cannot cure. The secret lies in the curative powers of essential oils, which are extracted from plants and other organic matter and then inhaled for their healing effects.

Now that you understand the potential of aromatherapy techniques, it’s time to find an effective, reliable way to reap the benefits. Numerous types of oil diffuser exist, and not all of them are equally dependable or efficient. Candle-based diffusers and aroma lamps leave a lot to be desired in terms of range. Unless you’re sitting in close proximity to the unit, you won’t enjoy their charms. Fan-based electric diffusers represent the best way to allow the essential oils to permeate the room, leaving a lasting impression that can be enjoyed over the long term.

I also have gotten used to making my own toiletry product using essential oils with organic shampoo, conditioner, bath and shower gels and body lotion.  I’ve recently began to make my own hair conditioner. 

Lemongrass Essential Oil is my favorite scent of all essential oils because it is so crisp and clean.  All I do is create a 3% dilution blend by mixing 15 drops or Lemongrass Essential Oil with an organic, unscented conditioner.  This makes about and ounce of hair conditioner.  It lasts me about a week.  I like making an ounce at a time to keep it nice and fresh.

A traditional hot salt bath will help draw toxins from your body.  Mineral bath salt will open the pores and assist the skin in purging waste and by products. 

Mineral salt baths are even better when you combine them with essential oils.  They will soften your water and provide a soothing aroma.  This Fountain of Youth Mineral Bath Salt is a great way to give yourself that boost you need to complete your day.

Let’s face it, taking a bath is probably one of the most relaxing things that we can do.  Especially when you add in some organic bath and body products and perhaps a candle and a glass of wine.

We have added a new line of bath and body products we are sure you will love.  We have bath and body oils and mineral bath salts.  As always, the products that we sell are organic.
