THE GOOD OIL

 

The word AROMATHERAPY means “treatment using scents”. It refers to the use of essential oils in Holistic Healing to improve the health and emotional well being in restoring balance to the body. Smell acts directly to the brain. The aroma enters our nose and connects with cilia, the fine hair inside the nose lining, converted into electrical impulses that are transmitted to the brain through olfactory system. All the impulses reach the limbic system, the part of the brain, which is associated with our moods, emotions, memory and learning. All the smell that reaches the limbic system has direct chemical effect on our moods. Limbic system is also a storehouse of millions of remembered smells. That is why the mere fragrance of haystack takes us back to childhood.

 

Essential oils have myriad applications. Aroma oils work like almost quickly for stress-related problems, psychosomatic disorders, skin infections, hair loss, inflammations, pains arising from muscular or skeletal disorder to name a few. Essential oils are safe to use. The only caution being they should never be used directly because some oils may irritate sensitive skin or cause photosensitivity. They should be blended in adequate proportion with the carrier oils. A patch test is necessary to rule out any reactions.

 

HOW TO USE AROMA OILS

 

Essential oil like pure lemongrass oil is calming, refreshing and relaxing and can be used in a variety of ways at home and place of work. Some of the common ways are:

 

Inhalation: Add 1-9 drops of pure lemongrass oil to the hot boiling water and inhale the steam by covering your head with a towel to stop the steam from escaping. Steaming also helps open the pores of the skin and thus more oil is absorbed giving additional benefit of a facial. The bowl with hot water and lemongrass oil could be left under the bed to envelope the room with aromatic fragrance. A drop or two of lemongrass oils on a tissue kept inside the pillow or cushion could be used for a very peaceful and relaxed sleep.

 

Diffusers for Aromatherapy: Diffusers are generally made of ceramic or clay. It has a cave like opening to house a small candle or earthen oil lamps and the top is shaped like a curve to hold a little water and a few drops of lemongrass oil. Light the candle or the lamp. Once the water and 2-3 drops of lemongrass oil heat up, evaporation takes place and the whole atmosphere is filled with the aromatic scent. This is ideal for presenting conducive ambience during a gathering or even in bedrooms, hotels, living rooms, etc. and anywhere where scented air is required.  In order for aromatherapy to be effective, only pure, unadulterated and natural essential oil must be used.

 

Bedtime: Sprinkle 2-3 drops of lemongrass oil on the pillow cover or on a tissue that can be placed under the pillow or cushion cover and inhale just before sleeping or while sleeping. This can be very useful in treating headaches, stress, tension and in boosting confidence.

 

Air Freshener: In a piece of cotton, put two to three drops of lemongrass oil and place it in a room or in your bathroom.

 

Compresses: Both cold and hot compresses are profitable. Add 2-3 drops of lemongrass oil to a bowl of hot or warm water and dip a hand towel then squeeze out the excess water and place the towel on the area to be treated.

Spice: Essencia Lemongrass Essential Oil is food grade, it is safe to use as food flavor when cooking shells, pork, chicken, etc. & for barbeque marinate.

 

Potpourri:  As the name suggests is a mixture of dried flowers, herbs, grass & seedpods. Few drops of lemongrass oil added to the potpourri kept in a bowl would keep giving out aromatic fragrance for 4-6 weeks.
