11 Ideas For Using Aromatherapy

The uses for aromatherapy are endless and varied. Unfortunately, many people aren't sure on how to use it, so I hope you find this article useful in that regard. So you can see some of the possibilities, I have listed a few below:

Pregnancy:
Aromatherapy might assist greatly during your pregnancy.

Although there are some oils that are recommended not to use, there are many that are safe and can assist with everything from morning sickness to stretch mark prevention to helping you during labor!

Children:
Pure essential oils are perfect for children. They can help with cheering up, helping your children to relax and calm down, they can be applied to insect bites, getting rid of germs and helping with upset tummys!


For the older kids, some uses include getting rid of those pimples, encourage mental alertness when they need to study, help with smelly sneakers, menstrual cycles and general relaxation.

In The Car:
Use essential oils to help keep you relaxed and calm when you're driving. There are also oils to assist with mental alertness to keep your mind on the job!

Muscular Relief:
Some oils are very beneficial before and after exercise, and also if you get any injuries while you're exercising. Ginger, black pepper and lemon with a sports massage can do amazing things!

Beauty:
Your skin will thank you if you're using essential oils. For everything from wrinkles and lines, to moisturising, to balancing sebum - you name the condition, the benefits to your skin are endless. Aromatherapy facials have been used for many years.

Ailments and Conditions:
From colds and coughs, to eczema, bruising, skin conditions, infections, wounds, digestive complaints, sports injuries, burns, hair care, toothache, you name it!

Emotional:
Essential oils can help with a myriad of emotional conditions - depression, anxiety, need to relax, need to sleep, personal boundaries, cheering up, contentment, general wellbeing.

Perfumery:
What better perfume is there than a natural perfume made with your favourite blend of pure essential oils?

Massage and Pampering:
Aromatherapy massage is a technique for helping to move the lymphatic fluids which is beneficial for your body as the lymph system moves the toxins. You can also do hand and foot soaks. Take the stress and tiredness out of your body while putting beneficial oils into it at the same time.

Home:
Enhance your home environment with whatever mood you are wanting to set - cheerful, romantic, relaxed, mental alertness, warmth, and just a great place to be!

Work:
Work should be no different to home since you spend so much time there. Encourage cheerfulness, mental alertness, a feeling of well being and contentment. Stay on top of any negativity that might try and creep in.

As you can see, the uses of pure essential oils and aromatherapy is only limited by the imagination. The oils are beneficial on all levels - physically, emotionally and mentally. They are therapeutic, and if you have any pre existing conditions like epilepsy, bruising, pregnancy, diabetes, etc, you should consult your medical professional first.
