We are living in a tense age. If you have ever worried about your ability to keep your family comfortable, you are not the only one. While you are clearing your energy, a cozy bedroom with aromatic scents will provide you with renewed energy. After a tiring working day or before concentrating on your yoga practice, why not enhance the vibe by aromatherapy?
Natural Scented Candles
With a strike of a match, you light up your house with a scented candle. This candle not only offers a good vibe but also soothes your anxiety in several ways. When you struggle with depression, a lavender-scented candle will relax your mind and lift your mood perfectly. An exercise routine with candlelight beneficially relaxes you as well.
For centuries scented candles have been used in various situations–religious rituals, weddings, and even funerals. This little bunk of wax is scientifically proved to improve healing, assist meditation, and cleanse our minds. Candles also provide an ideal aid to promotion in memory by their pleasant aroma. Research even finds out that using a scented candle in a therapeutic room helps people looking for the road to unconsciousness.
It requires caution when you pick up a scented candle in the market. Formulas with the toxin, unnatural ingredients, or environmentally unfriendly paraffin wax should be avoided. Choosing products made from coconut oil and beeswax is also a rule of thumb.
An Oil Diffuser
An oil diffuser can kill two birds at one stone. You can circulate the aroma around your house while softly moisturizing the air if you feel a little dry. Save your money by replacing the air freshers with the oil diffuser. Among all the types of oil diffusers, the ultrasonic diffuser might be the most popular one. All you need to prepare is a half-cup of distilled water combined with a drop of essential oil.
How the ultrasonic diffuser function is basically like the following. An electrical disc at the bottom of the diffuser starts vibrating at an amazing speed, turning the breaking-apart molecules of oil and water into vapor. Then the vapor is channeled out in the air, presenting a mesmerizing plume.
Start your day by switching on this device is a nice alternative to lighting up a scented candle as you don’t have to monitor a built-in timer inside the oil diffuser. It is recommended to enjoy your aromatherapy in the morning and at bedtime. An hour before your rest is the time you put on the diffuser to scent your bedroom.
Remember to clean your diffuser regularly. The disgusting pile of gunk and grime retained can lead to less device life. After every use, pour the water out of the diffuser, afterward use a cotton crush to wipe both inside and outside with a dab of detergent, and rinse well.
Essential Oil
Besides being a necessary product to operate your oil diffuser, applying it into your bath gel or cream is also a common use. Do massage by yourself with drops of essential oil is also a money-worthy practice. Essential oil is a concentrated liquid made from plants like leaves and barks.
Different kinds of oils are targeted at different conditions. Lavender and tea tree is famous for healing skin issues such as acne, itchiness, and dryness. Lemon oil is helpful for pregnant women to combat morning sickness. Sandalwood oil can be used for treating urinary tract infections. Vitamins A and C contained in carrot seed oil are of benefit to hair and skin.
Although it seems essential oils are versatile and powerful, there is a friendly warning for you. Understand your skin and avoid sensitivities like rash or sores. Some ingredients in the oils are photosensitive and cannot be put under strong sunlight. Also, avoid interactions especially when you have liver disease or high blood pressure.
