Aromatherapy Kits for many needs
October 20th, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed
With aromatherapy kits, users can enjoy a wide range of essential oils extracted from nature for physical well-being, perfume, cosmetic skin care, and psychological purposes.
Many aromatherapy kits contain essential oils made from some surprisingly common fruits and other plants from which the essential oils are extracted. Essential oils are available as absolutes and infusions.
Aromatherapy kits include anywhere from one to many different oils.
They’re usually aimed towards one special effect, so you may get healing salves and massage oils in the same kit.
For example, travel aromatherapy kits will contain oils like lavender, ginger (for travel sickness), basil (for jet lag) and chamomile (for relaxation.)
A memory enhancer kit designed for students taking exams could contain oils like lavender, rosemary, basil, grapefruit and cypress.
Some sellers of aromatherapy kits will create customized kits, just for you. This is the ideal solution if you have special needs - perhaps you’re dealing with arthritis pain, or are suffering from insomnia.
If you’re buying aromatherapy kits as Christmas gifts, you can find specialized gifts for everyone in your family, and for work colleagues too.

Chamomile essential oil - calming, aids sleep, and useful in skin care
August 1st, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed
When you’re looking for chamomile essential oil, you’ll find several varieties: Chamomile Roman, Chamomile German and Chamomile English.
Chamomile has a lovely scent, like apples, and is wonderful for treating inflamed, itchy skin.
It’s also a very relaxing essential oil. A couple of drops on a tissue and tucked into a pillow will calm even the most active child when it’s bedtime.
If you suffer from insomnia, a chamomile massage about half an hour before bedtime will put you to sleep within moments of your head hitting the pillow.
Some migraine sufferers also find the herb calming - when you feel a migraine coming on, have a massage with chamomile, or a bath with a few drops of chamomile added, and you’ll drop off to sleep. When you wake, you may find that the migraine is gone.
Chamomile for stress
If you’re looking for a stress reliever, a couple of drops of chamomile with a drop or two of lavender in a warm bath will help you to de-stress.
Other uses for chamomile include pain relief for arthritis, and for RSI (repetitive strain injury.)
Of the three chamomile varieties, Chamomile English has the most sedative action, so it’s especially good for insomnia.
