"There are a bewildering array of aromatherapy fragrances to choose from, but it's easy to get the hang of picking the one that's just right for you"
Some fragrances will ease you off to sleep, others will help to wake you up in the morning. Some relax you, easing away stress and anxiety, others are revitalising and will gee you up for that important job interview.
Follow Your Nose: - Oils that smell similar often have very different effects. Lemon is a stimulant, yet lemongrass is a sedative. Rosemary and peppermint, on the other hand smell nothing alike, but both are excellent for fatigue.
Aromatherapy And Your Body: - The active ingredients of essential oils can ease muscle tension, raise your mood, improve your circulation and clear respiratory problems, such as hayfever, stuffy noses and sore throats. By rubbing your oils over or onto the affected area, you can begin to feel their healing effects almost immediately. You should always use the oil with a carrier oil or some variety of cream. Some essential oils work better on certain areas of your body than others, use this checklist to find out where each oil is best applied.

Aromatherapy Massage:- Combine aromatherapy with massage to get the best out of both natural techniques. Rubbing healing oils into your skin allows their active ingredients to pass directly into the tissues of the affected area, while healing massage strokes also work to alleviate pain and stiffness, as well as improve circulation. A quick and easy way to get the benefits of essential oils is to add a few drops to your usual body lotion or moisturiser and then rub it into the affected area.
