Aromatherapy beads are a modern alternative to potpourri and they actually last three times longer than potpourri does.  This is because these beads are infused with essential oils. 

There are three ways in which these aromatherapy beads can be used.  First of all, you can simply leave them in an open container.  Secondly, you can place them in an air diffuser that does not employ heat.  Third, you can leave them in an organza bag.  These are small 3″ x 4″ bags that are made out of a material that is similar to gauze so that the scent can easily escape.  They come in a variety of vibrant colors.

Another way in which you can use your aromatherapy beads is by purchasing a small necklace that allows you to place your beads inside of it.  You can then take your favorite scent with you wherever you go.  These stunning vessels look great as a wearable aromatherapy container.

There are many different looks that these beads are available in.  However, the most popular aromatherapy beads are those that are either jeweled or made of polish beach glass.  These are the ones that you are really going to want to purchase if you want to beautifully accent your environment with aromatherapy beads. 

One artist that makes these glass beads is Kim Miles.  She is very talented and has thus been able to create some very lovely lamp worked beads.  Some of these beads, such as her layered flower beads, are absolutely amazing.

Before you go shopping for your aromatherapy beads, you will need to know what you are looking for.  This is because different essential oils are able to achieve different things. 

For instance, f you need help falling asleep, then you are going to want a combination of lemon grass, orange and seaweed.  On the other hand, if you are feeling congested, then you will want a combination of eucalyptus, peppermint and lemon grass.
