Have you used Aromatherapy?

I've used aromatherapy like lotion and candles and bath gel. I think they help a lot with the the certain scents that stimulate your brain. For instance, I've used the Sleep aromatherapy and it has worked like a charm. It contains eucalyptus, which smells really good. Good luck with your course and learn as much as you can, because I believe that aromatherapy actually does work.

Hi Aslanlight, I did an aromatherapy course myself and I think that it is fantastic that it is included in the course that your are doing. Lavendar is the most used oil for relaxation but eucalytpus and tea tree are great for all sorts too. I make my own lotios up using a grape seed carrier oil and just a few drops of very good essential oil. There are so many on the market but you do pay for what you get. Have fun with it. I think alternative medicine is definitely the way to go. Some oils you have to avoid if pregnant can't think which ones at the moment as in back of head somewhere but since the birth of my son I have put so much on the back burner. What course are you doing? Huggles. Ellie:D

aslan,
I can't say that I know much about aromatherapy but I'd like to. It is suppose to really help you understand what smells change your moods. Different aromas effect how you respond to so many aspects of life. When you take the course, you'll have to share some of your knowledge with us. I wonder if I can take a course in aromatherapy, just to educate myself. It sounds exciting! Have fun.

I haven't used aromatherapy to any extent. The only thing I have used is lavender steeped in my bath water, which I find instantly relaxing. Scent does play a large role in our lives. Burning Nag Champa incense relaxes and soothes me.

Hi ya 'a'

All I know is that there are different oils for different things like lavendar and sandlewood are good for relaxation and citrus stuff is more for revitalizing. I am pretty usless really aren't I? Let me know more when you know more eh?
