THE POWER OF SCENT Unlike other aromatherapy products that require accessories, aromatherapy candles are simpler to use. All you need is a pack of your chosen scent and a match or lighter to unleash powerful and soothing scents that enhances mood, uplifts spirits while relieving tensions. Aside from lighting up the aromatherapy candle, there are various wats to enjoy it. But, due to the emergence of modern science in the field of medicine, this tradition of healing using natural resources have slowly disappeared. But today, with the trend of going back to the natural and to the basic, aromatherapy is becoming quite popular in the world of healing because of its therapeutic properties. In fact, the father of medicine, Hippocrates, practiced the use of plants for its aromatic and medicinal benefits. Armed with the knowledge that they have gotten from the civilizations of the Egyptians and the Greeks, Roman Discorides wrote a book called De Materia Medica, which essays the different properties of as much as 500 plants. You must remember though to plan the schedule of your massage appropriately, Although you can start your day with a massage using an aromatherapy massage oil, remember that you should not bathe at least 8 hours after your session to allow the aromatherapy massage oil to be fully absorbed by the body. If you have dry skin, you can use rose, sandalwood, lavender and myrrh. If you have sensitive skin, try this aromatherapy recipe: combine 2 drops of chamomile with a drop each of myrrh and rose plus 2 ounces of jojoba or almond oil. You must store this mixture in an airtight dark glass container which should be kept in a cool and dark place. After it is ready, this should be placed in a container and only opened when this will be used while taking a bath. Since bath salts are sold in large bottles, the person will have to buy each separately. The person can try one kind today and another one tomorrow. Most of those sold in the display shelf come with a product description stuck on the container.
