Getting Started with aromatherapy
Getting started with aromatherapy
As your aromatherapy course builds up, you'll no doubt want to start buying yourself the oils and other equipment you need to put your new knowledge into practice.
Essential and blended oils
The mostly commonly used aromatherapy "equipment" is essential oil. you can buy small bottles of oil from Cim's curio corner.
Undiluted oils can seem expensive, but you need to use only a few drops in most applications. Undiluted oils can be used in vaporizers, steam inhalations and baths, and can be diluted in a carrier base, such as avocado oil or unscentd shampoo, for use in massage, shampoo, toning and moisturizing.
Diluted up to 10 drops of oil in 30ml of carrier base before using it on your skin. Rub your massage oil into tired musceles to feel an instant benefit.
Scented Candles
Candles scented with essential oils are a great way to get relaxing, stimulating and sensual aromas into your atmosphere.
Scented candles work better on your mood and emotions than on your body. Their effects are subtle and work well over a long period of time, such as a quiet evening at home, rather than providing quick results.
Fragrances such as citronella and lavender are excellent insect repellents. use candles scented with these aromas while you're sitting outside on warm summer evenings.
A more intense way to fragrance your environment is to use essential oil in a candle vaporizer. To do this, half-fill the vaporizer bowl with water, and add up to five drops of oil. Light the candle beneath the bowl.
Joss sticks and incense.
Another excellent way to fill your room with uplifting scents is to burn incense or "joss" sticks.
The fragrances used to make joss sticks and incense are usually very expensive to buy as oils. This is simply a more economical way of enjoying their benefits.
Light joss and incense beside a scented candle, vaporizer , or other joss sticks to blend different aromas.
As joss sticks burn,they will leave behind hot ash. Always be sure to place your joss stick on a surface that will not be damaged, or buy a special holder that will catch the ash as it falls.
You can also stand your joss sticks up in a potted plant or dish of sand.
Incense is especially useful for creating a very spiritual atmosphere for meditation, prayer or yoga.
