Scent is such a powerful thing — it can evoke nostalgic memories, trigger strong emotions or stimulate the brain. For centuries, aromatherapists have aimed to harness the power of scent in order to help people relax, sleep better, reduce anxiety and more. Some basic tips and scents will help you get started incorporating aromatherapy into your routine.
It’s important to know the source of any essential oils you’re purchasing for aromatherapy use. Do some research about companies you’re purchasing from and what type of container they’re sold and stored in. You can learn more about MojiLife’s commitment to quality here.
Consider your goals for aromatherapy. If you’re looking to enhance feelings of contentment, consider rosemary. It can improve mental focus, sharpen memory, and have a positive effect on one’s mood. For relaxation, lavender may be a good choice. It’s been known to have mild calming and sedative effects. Another scent that can help with memory is peppermint, which can enhance alertness as well. Lemon is known for its stress relief and uplifting properties.
Aromatherapy effects can be achieved by inhalation via diffuser or room spray. They can also be (carefully) used with carrier oils during a massage or in a bath for direct absorption into the skin. Even a high-quality aromatherapy candle can have positive effects on well being. It’s very important, though, to be careful if you have high blood pressure or are pregnant or breastfeeding, as some essential oils should be avoided in conjunction with certain conditions.
As we like to say about aromatherapy, “It taps into our senses, enlightens the mind and body, imprints memories on the mind, and triggers wonderful emotions. It becomes more than a fragrance. It becomes a part of you.” Learn more about MojiLife products, including our brand new AirMoji II, now on sale, by contacting me here: https://getmojilife.com/
