Aromatherapy and Mental Health Part 1

Stress

 Aromatherapy isn’t just about pleasant smells that make you feel good or help you sleep. Aromatherapy uses essential oils for an array of physical, mental and emotional health purposes. For example, ylang ylang, chamomile and clary sage might help you beat anxiety and insomnia, while rosemary and geranium might be useful when your mood needs uplifting.

 If aromatherapy sounds like something you might want to try, keep this points in mind:

  • The oils used in aromatherapy aren’t safe for everyone (or every species, for that matter). Essential oils may be pretty darn natural, but that doesn’t mean they’re always safe. They can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions and phototoxicity. Talk with your doctor and do your research to make sure engaging in aromatherapy isn’t going to have a negative impact on any illness you have or medication you’re currently taking.
  • Part 2 soon to come!

    Dry skin solutions

    Dry skin responds best to climates with high humidity and hates cold, dry and windy climates. Indoor heating and air-conditioning can also be drying to skin. If you live in a dry climate, try to use a humidifier to add moisture to the air.

    Don’t steam facials because steaming is actually more drying than hydrating. Likewise, avoid steam rooms, swimming pools, chlorinated hot tubs and overly hot baths. Avoid those old-fashioned recommendations to put your face under a towel over a pot of boiling water. Not only will this lead to excessive drying, it can also cause broken capillaries or blood veins along the fragile skin of the cheeks and nose.

    If your skin tends to be dry, and tight or wrinkled and sun spotted, avoid excessive sun, exposure or hot wax facial treatments, hair sprays and hair dyes that can dry your skin and provoke inflammation leading to dark spots.

    Hormone replacement therapy can help to lessen skin dryness after Menopause though it will increase age spots due to new hormones stimulating pigment production. It may help prevent the wrinkles that quickly occur after menopause.

    Spa Gift Basket

    You might wonder why gift baskets are so popular these days.   It’s because one can immediately see what exactly what you are getting, which is contrary of the usual process of getting a present – all the excitement of ripping open the wrapping papers and then only knowing what you are getting, so what could be so nice about getting gift baskets? As the entire gift items in a gift basket can be seen, there’s just not much to say even though gift baskets are usually gorgeously packaged.

     In the past, baskets were woven using suitable resources that could be obtained conveniently. These baskets were used to collect fruits and food, and hunters used them to store their catch of the day. This could very well be the reason why baskets are used to present gifts nowadays, as they had once been used to present natural gifts such as fruit, flowers and other types of food that can easily spoil.

    The Biblical tale of discovering three-month old baby Moses in a basket made of bulrushes among the tall grass by the riverbank was said to be the other version of how it all started. This could very well explain the beginning of the baby gift baskets ideas, followed by the rise of different types of gift baskets.
