Using Aromatherapy Recipes
Organic aromatherapy recipes have been used for centuries and
its usage is very diverse and spread all over the world.
Hundreds of recipes have been found and perfected over thousands
of years. Aromatherapy makes use of essential oils to combat
everyday maladies in our lives such as stress, depression,
indigestion, menopause, nausea, immune deficiencies, fatigue and
numerous others. The following aromatherapy recipes are for your
aromatic information.
First things first! Always remember that essential oils are very
potent and volatile liquids that can be very harmful if used
carelessly. CAUTION: Never apply undiluted oil on the skin
without use of carrier oil such as sweet almond oil, hazelnut
oil, sunflower oil or grape seed oil. Massage is perhaps the
most popular way to use essential oils. It combines the healing
art of aromatherapy with the healing art of touch. Self-massage
is just as effective as being massaged by another person and
lack of a partner is no excuse for not trying these relaxing

essential oils per mixture, and keep it around five for maximum
effectiveness.
You can always concoct your own innovative recipe using many
essential oils that available in the market. You don't really
need a branded expensive aromatherapy product or go to an
expensive aromatherapy spa and some wholesale aromatherapy
vendors can be too expensive. Here are a few quick, instant and
easy natural aromatherapy recipes that can be formulated at your
home: · Beat the depression with 3 revitalizing drops of orange
essential oil and 2 drops of zesty ginger. · Drive out insomnia
with easeful drops of Roman chamomile, clary sage and bergamot
oils. · Reduce menstrual cramps with pacifying drops of
peppermint, cypress and lavender oils. · Soothe stress with
calming drops of Roman chamomile, lavender and vetiver oils. ·
