Spa aromatherapy

Want to relax and pamper yourself? Spa aromatherapy will not only relax you, it will leave you feeling wonderful - as though you’ve just had a holiday.

Some of the other numerous day spa aromatherapy treatments that are available include using aromatherapy in the spa or in a fragrance dispenser while a person is getting some of the other services done that a day spa is able to provide.

Day spas are able to provide you with spa aromatherapy treatments that you would not be able to have at home, even though you may have a spa. This is because these spas have special aromatherapy dispensers built into them, which is where the fragranced beads are placed. You should know that this is important for 2 reasons: First, if you immerse your aromatherapy beads into the water, they will quickly lose their fragrance. Secondly, loose beads can get stuck in your spa’s air injectors or jets.

Of course, if you are not worried about using beads and simply want a spa aromatherapy treatment, then there are some elixirs that you can purchase. These are specifically designed for spa aromatherapy and can be added directly to the water. You should know that these liquid elixirs are made from a blend of moisturizing botanicals and aloe vera. They will offer you the same fragrance as the aromatherapy beads will off you.

Regardless of whether you use crystals or an elixir, you should know that one of the benefits to using spa aromatherapy is that it will cover up the chlorine and bromine odors that some people find very irritating whenever they are trying to relax in the spa.

Usually your spa will have a great variety of aromatherapy fragrances that you can choose from. They should also be able to recommend one to you based upon the results you are looking to achieve (i.e. if you need to be rejuvenated or if you need to relax).

Essential oils - tips for easy blending

June 18th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

Blending essential oils is lots of fun, and it can mean that you get precisely the therapeutic results you want.

Here are some tips to get you started:

1. Set aside some time to create your essential oil blend; ensure that you have some privacy, so that you can think, and smell, and focus on what you’re creating;

2. Wash bottles and other utensils so that they’re clean. Never put a new blend into a bottle which contains another blend - oils become rancid over time;

3. Write down your blends in an aromatherapy notebook. This notebook will become very valuable. For example, you may mix a backache or sleep blend for a friend, which the friend loves. When she asks you for some more of the blend months later, you’ll know you have all the details in your blending notebook;

4. My preference is to add the essential oils first, and then add the carrier oil - choose a method which works for you;

5. Label each blend as soon as you create it. I’ve left bottles to label “later” and then forgot exactly which blend it was;

6. All your blends will evolve. A blend may smell considerably different in 24 hours, and will have settled into mellowness within a couple of weeks.
