ENJOY ESSENTIAL OILS !
The popularity of natural perfumes is at a peak providing us with opportunity to select essential oils of every kind in the current market. Instead of beautiful perfumes being a luxury they have become an integral part of modern toiletry. The insistence upon quality is an indication of the continuing demand for the unadulterated, natural essential oils that offer wonderful benefits and pleasure and used in aromatherapy, with their subtle but effective healing potential.
The more sophisticated blends of expensive perfumery, with complex and often chemical ingredients, will always keep their allure and be used for personal enhancement. However, natural oils have an advantage in that they can be used alone or blended at home for use either as body perfume or as massaging oil. This allows personal experimentation until you find your favourites.
Essential oils are the only safe ones that can be used in healing and the developing science of aromatherapy. This science is pointing the way to a wide range of application from relieving sore muscles and strains, for pain relief, headaches, sinus, and pulmonary complaints. In the latter case eucalyptus oil is usually selected as one of the best, along with pine and peppermint.
Some oils are specifically antiseptic, such as tea tree and thyme oils. Others are exquisitely perfumed and used for direct inhalation when deep breaths draw their beneficial properties to nourish brain and nervous system as in the case of rose or lavender when we hardly need more encouragement to take a deep breath.
Lavender has also proven to be a deterrent for mosquitoes and many burn it at barbeques and outdoor gathering for this reason. Other oils can be similarly used.
We can inhale fragrances such as frankincense applied on our skin or onto an incense stick to help us relax and create an atmosphere for meditation. It is still retained in church use in incense.
Perfumes always have their fascination for both men and women and there are many occasions when we can enjoy them. Their elusive qualities keep us wanting more of the lovely ones. It is a voyage of discovery to find perfumes that suit your particular personality, or provide a particular influence at work or in the home. Enjoy!
