“The practice of using natural oils extracted from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots or other parts of a plant to enhance well-being is known as Aromatherapy” (www.aromatherapy.com). By using essential oils (highly concentrated extracts from plants) we can enhance feelings of balance. Aromatherapy oils can be used alone or combined with other oils/carrier oils to create your own blend!
These naturally occurring oils are believed by many to have healing properties and can be used in place of potentially harmful chemicals often found in commercial fragrances that have been manufactured artificially. Our family uses them routinely in our bath water, our diffuser and they even make a wonderful non-toxic room freshener when mixed with water in a spritz bottle!
There are many oils that can be used alone or blended with a carrier oil to help enhance your mood or used to relax and soothe! So this Valentine’s Day, a nice blend recommended by www.aromatherapy.com might just create the romanctic ambiance you’re dreaming of!
- Aphrodisiac
Clary Sage, Jasmine, Patchouli, Rose, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Ylang Ylang
Or a soothing and stress-relieving massage for your special someone?
- Stress Relief
Bergamot, Chamomile, Lavender, Lemon, Orange, Patchouli, Vanilla, Ylang Ylang
Whichever essential oils you use, make sure to read all safety info on it prior to use. Some oils should not be used by pregnant women or applied directly to the skin. “Do not apply drops directly to your skin; blend with carrier oils or lotions if you want to apply it that way” (http://www.aromatherapy.com/).
There are a wide variety of essential oils available at a reasonable price and I hope you enjoy all of the ways that our amazing plants and natural surroundings can increase our happiness…and perhaps add a little boost in the romance department too!
