 Aromatherapy Oils
 
Amelia  wrote on the 11 December 2006   
 
base oils can be used individually or blended together to create a base oil particular to your own skin type and therapeutic requirements. The basic rule to follow is to always put the larger amounts into the bottle first, adding the other ingredients of your blend in order of greatest volume. Then put the top on the bottle and roll it vigorously between the palms of your hands, allowing the molecules of all the base oils to become well blended. The following suggestions for base oil can be used for any essential oil formula, whether for medical or beauty purposes

Essential oils are also used extensively in the per-fume, cosmetics, and toiletries industries. These days, especially, customers demand natural purity, and as a result many advertisers are keen to stress the fact that their products include essential oils. This aspect of their use is extremely old, and beauties from the earli¬est times employed the considerable benefits of plant essences to enhance their chances in love. Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, even went so far as to soak the sails of her royal barge in rose essence so that the aroma would drift on the wind and announce her imminent arrival to Anthony, waiting farther down the River Nile to greet her.

Let us never forget that nature is resplendent with life-giving gifts. Trees stand magnificently on the hori-zon, silently pumping gases into the atmosphere, cre-ating the pure air we need to breathe. Plants of all shapes and sizes offer us their fruits, their produce, upon which our sustenance depends. Other plants support animals, which in turn become vital food sources for other animals. Without plants we would neither eat nor breathe; we depend totally upon them.
We also spice our food with herbs, sometimes unaware how much good they do us. And we perfume our world with delightful scents provided by spices
and flowers, grasses, leaves, barks, and even resin ooz-ing from the bark, while the sight of colorful flowers stuns us with their beauty. How flat life would be without these special gifts.

Today, olfactory manipulation is far more than an experiment; it is a part of daily life. In banks in Japan, keyboard operators working in large buildings are perked up in the afternoon by the aroma of lemon being diffused into the working environment. The new school of Japanese architecture, which designs for the perfect working environment, recommends commercial diffusion systems capable of diffusing a variety of different aromas into different areas of the workplace, throughout the day. To calm worried rel¬atives, at least one hospital in America has essential oils diffused in the waiting areas. An increasing num¬ber of hotels and retail outlets pump both natural and synthetic aromas into the atmosphere to make people relaxed, so they feel like staying longer (or coming back another time) while spending more money. Marketers in the olfaction field are fond of saying that aroma-psychology is the new frontier in the business.
