Aromatherapy has picked up legions of followers over the years. It is now possible to buy scented candles and sachets just about anywhere. You can treat yourself to your favorite fragrance in a variety of ways. There is an entire universe of aromatherapy oils and ideas for you to explore. Try some of the following ideas to enhance your life with aromatherapy.

One way to expand the use of aromatherapy is to spray a few pages of your planner with your favorite essential oils. Be sure to dilute the oils so they will not ruin the paper in your planner. Every time you open your planner to note another challenging assignment, you will trigger the release of a surge of refreshing, vitalizing fragrance. It will give you inspiration and strengthen your resolve. You can also add essential oils to notepads and even memos.

Make it a daily habit of empowering yourself for every day by applying your favorite fragrance behind your ears, on your wrists, and even in your hair. The feeling of being embraced by your favorite aroma will help empower you even through the most difficult of days.

You can incorporate aromatherapy into your laundry routine by adding lemon and chamomile to the final rinse. You can also make your own dryer sheets infusing them with your favorite scent. Use an old sock or scrap of cloth and place a few drops of oil on it before you toss it in the dryer. Lemon and chamomile will keep your laundry smelling fresh, while lavender and chamomile will make your pillows and bed linens fragrant with relaxing aroma.

Diffusers are an excellent way to disseminate fragrant oils, especially in the bathroom and bedroom. Diffusers come in a variety of styles and colors and can be used with the fragrance of your choice. There are even aromatherapy fountains available. Many are small enough to sit on your nightstand or desk allowing you to enjoy the fragrant scent all day long.

Aromatherapy also allows you to give up your gnarly old gym towel and wet wipes. Create your own wipes using essential oils. When you extract or distill your own natural oils, save the hydrosols. Soak a few inexpensive terrycloth “bar towels” in your hydrosols; then, you can freeze them for use at a later time.

As you begin to experiment more with aromatherapy you will find the possibilities and ideas are practically endless. Go ahead and try your own ideas with aromatherapy.
