Best Aromatherapy Gifts

pauljorg — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 05:45:54 +0000

There are many types of Aromatherapy gifts that can choose from. To figure out which one is best to give, it is important to consider who the recipient is.

If you are looking for an aromatherapy gift for a busy mom or friend, consider an essential oil blend, or aromatherapy salts that can be placed in her bath. This will help her to take some time out for herself and to relax. Lavender is a popular scent and is believed to help in lifting one’s mood, or to help relieve stress and anxiety. If you know someone that has trouble sleeping or is low on energy, consider purchasing an aromatherapy gift that will help them with these issues.

If you can’t decide what to purchase, consider an aromatherapy gift basket that includes a little bit of everything. Aromatherapy scrubs, lotions, gels and body sprays all make great gifts.

These types of gifts allow an individual to pamper themselves and to relax, so they will always be greatly appreciated. These gifts have become more and more popular and for good reason. They provide an inexpensive way to purchase a very impactful gift.

You can find various aromatherapy gifts online. You purchase these items al a carte or, as part of a pre-made gift basket. To find a gift that your recipient will go crazy over, consider their lifestyle. If they are a person that tends to be a bit on the sad side, consider an aromatherapy gift that lifts the spirit.

Most people appreciate a little pampering. An aromatherapy gift allows an individual to do so without ant extra expense. You’ve done all of the hard work and spent the money, they just need to enjoy the experience. If the person that you are buying a gift for, is already pretty familiar with aromatherapy, then you may want to try to purchase something that they haven’t tried or perhaps in their favorite scent. If push comes to shove and you have absolutely no idea of what scent they might like and you don’t want to chance it, consider purchasing a gift certificate to an online retail store, or even a book that is full of aromatherapy recipes. Essential oil, burners and candles all make fantastic aromatherapy gifts.

Aromatherapy Comes of Age

pauljorg — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:57:28 +0000

Now that we have begun to understand the mystery of smell and its relationship to the brain, what relevance is there for us?

Walk into any gift store that sells scented candles, and you’ll often respond with, “Oh, it smells soooo good in here!” We are naturally drawn to things that smell good and scented products attract consumers because they evoke various emotions, thoughts and memories.

Even the ancient Egyptians enjoyed the aromas from lit candles, further validating that our attraction to pleasant scents is inherent and not a passing trend. We have progressed, however, from filling our homes with sweet smelling candles to a wide variety of other products intended to satisfy this olfactory need.

We no longer have to depend on scented candles or aerosol sprays. Infusers, simmer pots, and plug-ins are just some of the many products that we’re using to scent our homes and workplaces. Aromatherapy is receiving further acclaim by highlighting various types of aromas that produced changes in moods and emotions.

Research Worthy of a Nobel Prize

In 2004, a Nobel Prize was awarded to researchers Linda Buck and Richard Axel who published a research paper on odorant receptors and the organization of the olfactory system. Never before has anyone uncovered the genes and proteins that control the responses that result from this sense.

With each of our olfactory-receptor cells producing a single odorant receptor gene, they determined that there are as many types of olfactory-receptor cells as there are odorant receptors. Since most odors result from a combination of odorant molecules, with each odorant molecule activating multiple odorant receptors, an odorant pattern is formed. As a result, we are able to recognize approximately 10,000 different odors, with each odor having the potential to evoke a memory.

Odors travel up the nose to a patch of nerve cells located above the eyes. From this olfactory bulb, smells go to the higher brain areas that are responsible for conscious discrimination and to the more primitive areas that control emotions.

Now that we have begun to understand the mystery of smell and its relationship to the brain, what relevance is there for us?

Smell is a chemical sense. When a person’s olfactory receptors are stimulated, they transmit impulses to the limbic system in the brain. This part of the brain deals directly with emotions. That’s the reason that a person usually reacts to a smell, either in a positive or a negative manner. Smells evoke memories. Memories evoke emotions. This is because of the limbic system.

Through the gentle, yet powerful, stimulation of the limbic system, moods, emotions, and other effects on the mind and body can be manipulated through scent. Since the fastest way to change our emotions is through our sense of smell, this sense is our most primitive, yet most influential sense.

True aromatherapy involves the use of pure essential oils. Although expensive, using pure essential oils is the only way to ensure that the desired result will occur. Synthetic oils do not contain the therapeutic properties of quality essential oils and can cause rashes, burns and other irritations. Our brain’s feel good chemicals (serotonin or endorphins) are released through certain aromatic scents.

Long before prescription drugs were our mainstay, people used plant oils to heal many illnesses and emotional disorders. Popular uses of aromatherapy include treatment for stress, sleep disorders, anxiety, food cravings, depression and energy fluctuations.

Aromatherapy in the Corporate World

A school in Withington, UK takes the use of aromatherapy seriously. In addition to having the hallways and classrooms filled with the relaxing scent of lavender and the stimulating scent of orange, the school also has its own aromatherapist.

Kajima Construction Company, located in Tokyo, uses aromatherapy to improve productivity. During the mornings, the uplifting scent of lemon flows through the air-conditioning duct. The stress reducing smell of roses fills the plant and offices at mid-day and the afternoons are scented with cypress, a perfect choice for perking everyone up.

Peppermint works to lessen fatigue and dispel drowsiness of the associates at the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Companies like these have found this to be a simple and effective way to not only reduce stress, but also to instill a sense of well-being and alertness. Both morale and efficiency improve greatly with the simple use of aromatherapy.

Psychologists agree that concentration, efficiency and mental stamina can all be improved by using aromatherapy. The real question now becomes, why aren’t more companies discovering this simple truth?

Maybe it’s because aromatherapy is still associated with fragrant gift shops that corporations just haven’t learned to take the science of aromatherapy seriously. As with all innovative concepts, it will take awhile for the therapeutic value of aromatherapy to catch on. But once it does, you can count on the world being a sweeter place!

What You Should Know About Aromatherapy

pauljorg — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 17:53:46 +0000

Scent is a powerful thing. It has the ability to bring back memories from the ancient past and revive people that you haven`t seen in decades, just with a single whiff. Because of this, aromatherapy is something that has become very useful as a therapeutic aide.

Many people are aware that simple things like the smell of lemon smells clean and peppermint is often an aroma that reminds us of freshness and energy. But the actual amount of aromatherapy options out there can be overwhelming and there are quite a few things that those not steeped in knowledge of aromatherapy may not be aware of.

Some Oils Are Dangerous

Did you know that aromatherapy shouldn`t be used with all essential oils? Some oils are actually toxic and this may not be noted by the seller. Essential oils such as wormwood, camphor and rue are actually bad for you and shouldn`t ever be applied to the skin. It`s always good to know which oils shouldn`t be used in aromatherapy.

Other toxic herbs that shouldn`t be used with aromatherapy include wintergreen, sweet birth, Spanish broom, arnica, pennyroyal, onion, garlic and bitter almond. You may wish to talk to a professional before starting in on any aromatherapy work, just to be sure you know which oils are safe and which shouldn`t be used.

Aromatherapy Isn`t Just Mental

A common misconception is that aromatherapy is only a way to help your state of mind. It`s far more than that, though and you`ll find that some of the simplest smells can actually have a physical effect on your body, especially when applied to the skin. It`s important not to apply pure essential oil directly to the skin, you`ll need a carrier oil, first so it won`t burn you.

Drops of lavender oil on a pillow can induce sleep and a massage with peppermint is great for stimulating blood flow and waking you up. These herbs have physical effects, not just emotional or mental ones. Tea tree oil is perhaps one of the best known essential oils and is commonly used to heal all manner of maladies by simply applying it to the affected area.

The Methods of Aromatherapy

The great thing about aromatherapy is that if you don`t enjoy massage or prefer not to use a specific method of diffusing the smell, there are always other options.

Massage with an essential oil in a carrier oil can be very invigorating or relaxing, depending on the smells chosen. Diffusers are some of the most common methods of spreading the scent and consist of a heater (often a candle) and a container for the oil. Sometimes the oil is added to wax chips that release the scent as they melt. There are also aromatherapy candles on the market and sprays. You can also add a couple of drops of essential oil to a sink or tub of hot water or even onto a handkerchief or cloth to tuck inside your pillowcase or pocket.

Aromatherapy is a very useful way to treat problems or to enhance a state of mind. If you find that you are drowsy in the morning when you need to get ready for work, it can be a great idea to have a diffuser ready to go with an invigorating aroma. Likewise, a soothing one at bedtime eases the transition from being wide awake to sleep and has been used by insomniacs for hundreds of years now. Aromatherapy is a great way to connect with your family, as well, using their sense of smell to draw them in!
