Can you use aromatherapy oils for your skin/face?

Admin — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 05:22:01 +0000

This is the product description: This blend is already pre-diluted and ready for aromatherapy use. The ingredients are pure oils.

Based on the information you have provided it difficult to make an informed decision, as there is no information re the oils in the blend or the percentage make up. – but one of the basics rules of aromatherapy is that essential oils sometimes referred to as aromatherapy oils is that they must be diluted to be applied to the skin.

In saying that making your own massage oil\body oil can be a wonderful way of using essential oils, to moisturise and protect your skin in a similar way to a body lotion.

If you are looking to make your own massage\body oil you may find this information of assistance

When making your oil you will need -
· A bottle to make and store your completed oil
· Carrier oil or oils
· Essential oil or oils

Your bottle should ideally be made of glass. You can have a plain cap or some people like to use a pump top for ease in dispensing.

When choosing your carrier oils bear in mind the properties of the oils and your skin type (or the skin type of the person you are making it for). To start with I usually recommend using a plain grapeseed or sweet almond oil. As you experiment you may like to use a combination of vegetables and infused oils to enrich your basic oil blend.

When choosing your essential oils, consider the effect you want the oil to have and when you intend to use it. Are you planning on a light fresh aroma to use as a body oil after your morning shower? An invigorating oil to massage into muscles before or after sport?

To make your oil blend, take your bottle and place in it up to 4 drops of essential oil for every 10ml of carrier oil you will be using. So in a 50ml bottle use up to 20 drops in total of essential oil, in a 100ml bottle use up to 40 drops. For a massage oil for children or anyone whose health is frail or who has sensitive skin, halve this number. Remember you can use 2 or 3 different essential oils in your blend but the total number of drops should together not exceed that stated.
Top up your bottle with your chosen carrier oil to the shoulder – this is the part where the bottle just begins to narrow. Put on the cap and shake gently or tip the bottle back and forth to mix the oils together.

And don’t forget to label your creation! Information to note includes the date, the name of the person the oil is for and the purpose of the oil, together with the ingredients. This way you can easily reproduce your blend.

Some recipes to get you started -

End of the Day De-stress Massage\Body Oil
100ml Sweet Almond Oil
15 drops Lavender Essential Oil
5 drops Sandalwood Essential Oil
20 drops Bergamot Essential Oil

Wake Me Up Body Oil
100ml Grapeseed Oil
20 drops Grapefruit Essential Oil
10 drops Petitgrain Essential Oil
5 drops Spearmint Essential Oil

Women’s health

Tamsin — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:50:13 +0000

Many people ask do we need to take vitamin supplements if we eat a healthy diet, well the answer to this question used to be no but sadly now the answer has to be yes. Intensive farming methods, transportation of foods over long distances, irradiation of fruit and vegetables, over use of pesticides and herbicides means that the quality of our fruit and vegetables today is very poor. In some cases the vitamin content of fruits and vegetables has dropped by up to 85%. This is an unbelievable amount so our ‘5 a day of fruit and veg’ is no longer enough to provide all our needs. It is necessary to take a supplement to ensure that we are getting all of the necessary nutrients for good health. Women especially need to take supplements, but don’t just grab a pot of the shelf and think that will do because it won’t. We have specific areas that need to be addressed, and these are:

To support a strong robust immune system

To support Breast Health

A Healthier Reproductive System

Healthier Skin, Hair & Nails

High levels of Calcium and Vitamin D for Increased Bone Health

Our immune systems are continually under stress so it is necessary to give it a boost, especially with all of the air borne infections around at the moment, such as swine flu. Our skin, hair and nails are under constant attack from pollution, chemicals in beauty products and the drying effects of central heating so any extra help will greatly improve their appearance. Bone health is a problem in women especially as they enter into the menopause years. Osteoporosis can be a serious problem so ensuring you get the right nutrients is very important.

Sluggish digestive system

Tamsin — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 02:07:02 +0000

Suffering from constipation, bloating and wind? Then your digestive system is in need of some help! In an ideal world we should have a bowel movement after every meal, but most people are lucky if they have one movement a day. Having clean bowels is one of the best ways to prevent most diseases in later life. Even if you one bowel movement a day you can still be constipated.

Over time, we can experience a gradual build-up of matter, which adheres to the walls of the intestines and becomes compacted in some areas. This build up is caused by insufficient fibre and too many refined foods, which can eventually stop the nutrients being absorbed properly. It also adds weight to the colon, which in turn can put more strain on the other lower organs, such as the uterus and bladder.

The more compacted matter you have the more toxic your entire system becomes. If these toxins are not eliminated they can be re-absorbed into the blood and eventually dumped into the skin causing skin problems, such as acne. If you tend to eat a diet low in fibre then the muscles of the colon can become lazy which can over time lead to chronic constipation. Food that doesn’t move through the digestive system quickly enough tends to putrefy and this is what causes bloating and wind. A poor digestive function will have a knock on affect and cause poor skin and dull hair and straining to pass a movement can cause piles and/or haemorrhoids.So clean your colon today and help to relieve your body of its hidden burden!

Probiotics, what are they and do they help? Our intestines contain a good array of friendly bacteria to help support its function. The good bacteria keep the harmful bacteria in check and discourage harmful organisms from taking up residence. They also help the contraction and relaxation of the muscles in the gut wall, improve the consistency of bowel movements, reduce inflammation, reduce flatulence and increase the absorption of vital nutrients.

Aging, dieting, stress, travel and certain medications can disrupt the natural balance of our good bacteria in the digestive system. Probiotics are “friendly” bacteria that promote a healthy digestive system. In fact, the word probiotic means “for life”. Probiotics aid digestion resulting in a boost in your immune system making this a very important part of your diet. So yes they are a good idea, especially if you are having problems with your digestive system.

best aromatherapy methods?

Admin — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 22:00:00 +0000

I need something to put in my kids room that will last strong all night long for their congestion and coughing from the cold and flu. I was using Sudacare vapor plugs but they are not as natural or beneficial as pure aromatherapy oils would be. There are so many different methods. I dont want to spend more than maybe 50 dollars on a device. I cant see that the tea light burners would work well enought or long enough and i dont want to leave a candle unattended at night. I want to be able to leave it on..have it work all night without starting a fire. What method would be best -The room is small – probly 12′ by 14′.

What oils do you use for cold and flu? Eucalyptus and Rosemary i read are good.
links would be great.
Thanks.

Safest way to vaporise essential oils, especially in a kid’s room, is in an electric vaporiser – make sure you get one which specifies it does not need water. Then add a few drops of oil.(Not too much, even with a cold kids have more sensitive noses than adults.) They can be a bit pricy but you aren’t buying candles and they use very little electricity.
Best oils for kids colds are eucalyptus, lavender and rosemary.
Good luck!

Stretch Marks

Tamsin — Mon, 30 May 2011 02:00:49 +0000

Those of us that have stretch marks know how distressing they can be. They are considered to be one of the top 5 things that cause insecurity in women. During pregnancy, women are at an elevated risk for developing stretch marks, also called striae, because of the rapid and sudden growth of their body. Stretch marks are formed when underlying tissue grows faster than the skin layers covering it, causing small tears in the epidermal surface. Scar tissue then proceeds to grow in these tears, creating stretch marks.

While some women start showing a tendency of developing stretch marks during puberty, others only experience problems for the first time during a pregnancy. As the woman’s abdominal area can be flat for the first four months of the pregnancy she can suddenly ‘catch up’ during the fifth and sixth month, with extremely fast growth which subjects the abdominal skin to a significant amount of tension. In this situation the fetus is growing at a rate faster than the mother’s skin can keep up with, resulting in epidermal ruptures leading to stretch marks.

Every person is unique and skin grows at different rates, causing some people to suffer from stretch marks more severely than others.

Because stretch marks are in essence scars, they are extremely difficult to eradicate completely, so prevention is key! It is important to apply a good moisturiser that improves elasticity and stimulates the growth of new skin cells to help prevent the problem occurring in the first place.

While the best time to start using a preventative treatment is during the early stages of pregnancy or when you are trying to conceive. However, it is never too late to start and great results can occur on areas that have already been affected by stretch marks!
