Aromatherapy has picked up legions of followers over the years. It is now possible to buy scented candles and sachets just about anywhere. You can treat yourself to your favorite fragrance in a variety of ways. There is an entire universe of aromatherapy oils and ideas for you to explore. Try some of the following ideas to enhance your life with aromatherapy.
One novel, yet powerful way to carry your favorite scent with you throughout the day is to spray a few drops of diluted essential oil on a few pages. When you open your planner and face what appears to be an impossible schedule, you will be greeted by the relaxing aroma of your favorite fragrance. This will bolster your confidence and sense of well being. Try the same aromatherapy trick with your notepad and even memos. The power of aromatherapy can be surprisingly powerful.
Make it a daily habit of empowering yourself for every day by applying your favorite fragrance behind your ears, on your wrists, and even in your hair. The feeling of being embraced by your favorite aroma will help empower you even through the most difficult of days.
You can incorporate aromatherapy into your laundry routine by adding lemon and chamomile to the final rinse. You can also make your own dryer sheets infusing them with your favorite scent. Use an old sock or scrap of cloth and place a few drops of oil on it before you toss it in the dryer. Lemon and chamomile will keep your laundry smelling fresh, while lavender and chamomile will make your pillows and bed linens fragrant with relaxing aroma.
Invest in a diffuser for your bathroom. A diffuser will release your favorite aromatherapy throughout the day, keeping your bathroom smelling fresh. You may also find an aromatherapy fountain that can be kept on your desk or a nightstand. Larger fountains make interesting focal points and conversation pieces in a living area, while keeping the room fresh and fragrant.
Aromatherapy also allows you to give up your gnarly old gym towel and wet wipes. Create your own wipes using essential oils. When you extract or distill your own natural oils, save the hydrosols. Soak a few inexpensive terrycloth “bar towels” in your hydrosols; then, you can freeze them for use at a later time.
The ideas for implementing aromatherapy into your daily life are endless. The possibilities extend as far as your imagination and willingness to experiment with aromatherapy.
