Aromatherapy
Sleep inducers
Worries can race around inside our heads, usually just as we are trying to fall asleep. The resulting restless night leaves us prone to anxiety. Help break this circle with a hot, relaxing evening bath using essential oils.
Many essential oils can be added to a bath to aid relaxation and sleep, just having a fragrance that you enjoy will help you to unwind after a long day.
A couple of relaxing blends, which are not over-sedating, are 3 drops sandalwood oil and 4 drops rose or 5 drops ylang-ylang oil. Add this oil to the bath just before you get in, holding them under the hot water tap so they are dispersed evenly in the air and water.
Other essential oils that aid relaxations include bergamot, chamomile and clary sage, while tranquillity and peacefulness cand be achieved with neroli.

Relaxers
When people are described as being “uptight”, that is often exactly what they are: tense muscles in the face and neck are a sure sign of anxiety. Release that tension with a face massage using gently soothing strokes.
A face massage using soothing strokes with the fingerprints, on the temples and forehead especially, is a very good as an evening treat, calming away the day’s cares and relaxing tense muscles.Use just a little oil, as most people dislike a greasy feeling on the face. Make up a blend of four drops lavender and two drops ylang-ylang oils in a light oil such as sweet almond, grapeseed or coconut.

Ulei repelent pentru insecte
Niciodata nu mi-a placut senzatia pe care o lasa pe piele diversele produse repelente pentru insecte. In plus, am tot citit diverse materiale pe tema toxicitatii lor astfel incat am hotarat sa le evit si sa apelez la natura.
Uleiul repelent pentru insecte are miros placut, lasa pielea hranita si catifelata. Uleiul esential de citronella este cel mai puternic repelent natural, iar uleiurile de rozmarin, lemongrass si lavanda sunt folosite din cele mai vechi timpuri in acest scop. Pentru o piele stralucitoare se poate imbogati cu pigment mineral auriu.
Se aplica pe corp in zonele expuse atacului tantarilor. Este eficient 2-3 ore. Nu se aplica inainte de expunerea la soare, unele dintre uleiurile folosite fiind fotosensibile. In cazul copiilor mici, al femeilor insarcinate sau care alapteaza uleiurile esentiale de lemongrass si citronella se inlocuiesc cu ulei esential de geraniu.

Despre uleiurile esentiale
Din cele mai vechi timpuri oamenii au folosit produsele parfumante in cadrul ceremoniilor religioase, ale bailor si masajelor, pentru parfumarea parului si a corpului. In secolul X, medicii au invatat cum sa distileze uleiurile esentiale din plante si asa s-a nascut aromaterapia.
Uleiurile esentiale pot fi extrase dintr-o mare varietate de plante, incluzand citricele, arbustii, ierburile si mirodeniile, si sunt folosite pentru a relaxa, seda, improspata sau stimula, in functie de nevoi. Uleiurile esentiale au considerabile efecte vindecatoare, pot dimniua dureri sau pot imbunatati starea pielii. De aceea nu este surprinzatoare folosirea aromaterapiei in medicina conventionala.
Uleiurile esentiale sunt substante naturale, volatile, care prin evaporare isi elibereaza in aer aroma, asa cum se intampla, de exemplu, daca cineva striveste o planta aromatica. Uleiurile esentiale au numeroase beneficii dar trebuie folosite cu atentie.
Atentionari
- Niciodata nu luati pe cale interna uleiurile esentiale, daca acest lucru nu v-a fost recomandat de catre un medic
- Intotdeauna folositi uleiurile esentiale diluate
- Nu folositi un timp prea indelungat aceleasi uleiuri
- Nu folositi in timpul sarcinii fara recomandarea unui medic
- Diluati si mai mult uleiurile esentiale in cazul persoanelor cu probleme ale pielii
- In cazul persoanelor cu astm sau epilepsie se cere o atentie sporita
About essential oils
Since the dawn of human history, people have used scented products in religious ceremonies, bathing and massage, and for scenting the hair and the body. in the 10th century, physicians learned how to distil essential oils from plants, and the practice of aromatherapy was born.
Essential oils can be extracted from a wide variety of plants, including citrus fruits, shrubs, vines, herbs and spices, and are used to relax, sedate, refresh or stimulate, according to need. In addition to affecting moods, however, these esential oils boast considerable healing powers and can shoote aches and ease skin conditions.It is not surprising, then, that so much use is made of aromatherapy in conventional medicine today.
Essential oils are natural, volatile substances that evaporate readily, releasing their aroma into the air, as happens, for example, when someone brushes against an aromatic plant. The oils have many beneficial properties.
Caution
- Never take essential oils internally unless prescribed
- Always use diluted oils
- Do not use the same oils for too long
- Do not use oils in pregnancy without professional advice.
- Dilute oils even more for anyone with skin problems
- Be careful with anyone who has astma or epilepsy
