Aromatherapy is a term created by a French chemist by the name of René Maurice Gattefossé in the 1920's to describe the practice of using 'essences' or now more commonly known as essential oils taken from plants, flowers, roots, seeds, etc., in healing. The term is a bit misleading, since the aromas of oils, whether natural or ...

One of my presents at christmas was this Aromatherapy Foaming Bath Essence kit. I really believe that you should take the time to pamper yourself every now and then, one of the best ways to relax is to soak away your aches and pains in a luxurious bubble bath. I was really pleased when I received this kit. You get four little ...

Aromatherapy as it is recognised today has been around since the 1920s. Its name implies that it is a treatment or cure based on the inhalation of aromatics from the plant that is being used - while this may be true, this is only a small part of the story. This therapy has become increasingly popular over recent years, as natural and complimentary ...

As I was gathering a few herbs to combine in some incense I was inspired to write an opinion (first one in ages) on aromatherapy. I have read through many of the opinions on aromatherapy and although there are lots of claims that it works nothing that I have read has convinced me that it is as good or better than using herbs in the more ...

Until a few years ago, I had never tried Aromatherapy and decided to find out more on the subject. I found it very interesting and had no idea of the amount of uses it has. Did you know that it can improve your immune system and can help with stress of everyday life? Well I have been experimenting for some time now and have been pleased with the ...

Essential oils have been in use for over 4000 years, and can be beneficial to everyone. I have always been interested in holistic therapy, and have tried a few recipes myself as a bathtime relaxer and for relief of aching muscles after an hour or so digging (or attempting to) the veggie patch! The many bath and shower products you can ...

As additional information on homeopathy (a medicinal complement I often use for my family and myself), I thought I could also put down a brief but concise guideline for another alternative way of healing still in the same therapeutic family: aromatherapy. My preferences go to lavender, tea tree and eucalyptus. I won’t give you any ...

Oils can be used in different ways such as in baths, inhaled, massaged or in compresses. Ylang ylang is good to relieve stress, orange oil for better digestion, Rosemary for ...

Everyone seems to be using essential oils these days - from vets to psychiatrists. I watched a TV slot about using essential oils in a massage base to calm stressed dogs. I suppose we all know that a few drops of lavender in the bath or on the pillow is very relaxing and can help sleep. Other essential oils are just as powerful, though, ...

I felt so relaxed after my evening bath. All the stresses of the day had been washed away down the plug hole. I was beginning to believe that this aromatherapy stuff really might work. In my bath I'd used two drops of camomile, two drops of rose and six of lavender and it had done the trick for me. My Boyfriend was due. He'd ...

A few years ago my mum became interested in aromatherapy. She bought loads of books and various different oils, and then proceeded to test them out on us! I think it is probably from my mum's influence that my interest in aromatherapy stems. I now have some books of my own, a growing collection of oils- and a family of my own to try them out ...

OK. The first thing you need to know is that it's a lot easier than it looks. If you can afford to go to a pro, so much the better, but if like me you can't, you'll be surprised just how far you can go with a good guide and a small oil collection. First of all, it's very important to look at the ...
