Unique Gifts: Essential Oils and Aromatherapy Q’s and A’s
Aromatherapy is an ancient practice that utilises essential plant oils to enhance healing, wellness and mental well-being. People believe that the elements of an aroma trigger a reaction in the area of our brain that presides over our sentiments, with the result that we often feel relaxed and serene in the presence of a positive aroma. Certain aromas trigger certain reactions and may result in particular mental and physical effects. Giving a gift of thoughtfully selected aromatherapy essential oils may help the recipient in remarkable ways.
Unique Gifts -What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils refer to natural and untreated elements taken from specific plants which have advantageous effects. The awareness and tradition of essential oils are well documented. These oils create both mood-enhancing and also curative results and are extracted from plant leaves, fruit peels, and flowers. An essential oil that comes from fruit peel would be orange, lemon, or grapefruit. Essential oils that come from leaves and flowers include eucalyptus and lavender.
Where Are Essential Oils Available?
Essential oils are not hard to find. Look for it in a local health store or ask a local chemist. If it is not available at these sources, try mail order or check online stores.
How Can I Know the Cleanness and Strength of Essential Oils?
Look at the label for components. Disallow all products that have imitation components as they will weaken the strength of the oil. Stay away from a product in which the label does not have a list of ingredients or does not list 100% of its components as essential oils. Never purchase essential oils which are deemed fragrances and never keep essential oils in direct sunlight.
Unique Gifts -What's the Best Way to Use Essential Oils?
There are no specific rules for using essential oils but two popular ways are either to allow the skin to absorb them during massage therapy or directly inhale their mist. When using essential oils, consider the belief that "less is more" and don’t begin with large amounts. You can add more gradually until you reach your right amount. For breathing in the oils, gently warm the bottle and inhale directly or place a few drops on a clean soft cloth or tissue. Also, you can place essential oils into a diffuser at home or at work to obtain further inhalation enhancement. For massage, use a mixture of oil which is thinned in a neutral carrier such as olive or pure vegetable oils including safflower, corn or peanut. Massage lightly onto your skin. Keep in mind that, less is more. If you want a proper start with the essential oils and massage, try going to a practitioner who will offer some suggestions as to what blend of oil suits you best. Meanwhile, though, this is a list of essential oils and the benefits you could gain:
- Awareness - basil, lemon grass
- Equilibrium - pine, eucalyptus
- Sureness - cinnamon, orange, grapefruit
- Assurance – pine
- Focus - lemon grass, cedar wood
- Self-reliance - eucalyptus, rosemary
- Strength – rosemary
- Vigour – cinnamon
- Comfort - lavender
A unique gift, like a scented essential oil will be both a useful and delightful item.
