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.

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.

Different substances that have a special aroma are used in the process as well as candles. These substances when heated and smelled produce a different kind of feeling to a person. Some of the herbs that are used on the session are peppermint and eucalyptus that are known to help boost the energy level. Lavender and chamomile help the person to be calm and relax. Lemon and rosemary also help to revitalize a tired body.

Our sense of smell is very powerful. In fact, the body can distinguish around 10,000 different scents. This area is called the Limbic System and when stimulated it releases endorphins, neurotransmitters and other ‘feel-good’ chemicals.

Once a person inhales the essential oils, the compounds are absorbed by the bloodstream. This is as safe as putting some lotion or cream on your skin and then massaging it.
