I’ve been an essential oil user for a few years now, but not seriously until the past year. What got me serious? A greater understanding of the various oils and methods of their use in my daily life. Over the past year I’ve made my own make up, hair treatments, gifts, cleaning products and of course infusing aromas! I’ve used it for my grandchildren’s toothache, acne and booboos. It’s what makes being a part of the Simply Earth family such a joy! Every month I get six new recipes that I can add to my recipe box of “useful” ideas.
In true fashion and being a gal of good intentions, I’ve had the desire to share this information with the Ridgeview readers every day, but life happens and I get distracted. You’d think there would be an oil for that… there is! Let’s just be honest, I’m just too scatterbrained to use it. And the oils only work if you use it!
So I’m trying to do better.
In this month’s box I was introduced to the Simply Earth Peace and Quiet blend.
Imagine inhaling the fragrance of a rose in full bloom on a warm summer day, or catching the scent of fresh garlic and rosemary in the kitchen, and consider how those scents bring about a shift in your state of mind. Essential oils, which contain massive concentrations of powerful plant chemicals, stimulate the subconscious with their scents, bringing feelings of alertness, happiness, calm, relaxation, or sleepiness. Aromatherapy not only has a positive effect on the psyche and spirit by working in concert with the limbic system but it also aids in physical healing. This occurs in two ways: Minuscule essential oil molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream via the lungs when inhaled. These tiny molecules can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the skin when added to bathwater, used in body care products, or applied during a massage.
Just a note, if you’re allergic to something such oregano, you’d also be allergic to the essential oil. Guard yourself on allergies!
But with no allergy, the power of essential oils can bring a calming, invigorating, and even mind stimulating (I should learn) effect on your life.
