Aromatherapy
Have
you ever noticed the affect different fragrances
have on you? Much like Herbology, the
aromas of flowers and herbs create certain effects:
relaxation, energy, etc.
Aromatherapy, an extremely fascinating but lengthy subject, relates to flower and herb fragrances captured in oils and what effects the different fragrances have on a person, such as, increasing energy or creating a good feeling.
Aromas encourage
angelic protection, calmness, creativity, clearer
dreams, harmonizing with the higher self, inspiration,
self-confidence, stamina, and trust in the universe,
to name a few of the benefits of aromatherapy.
The easiest way
to use aromas for your benefit and pleasure
is to put a few drops of oil on a cotton ball.
Put the cotton ball in a container of
some sort because the oils can stain clothing
and furniture then hide the container in a bouquet
of dried flowers or behind a plant.
After you discover what fragrances you enjoy and the special effect each aroma has on you, add two more fragrances. Put one very small drop of oil on a separate cotton ball. Choose the additional two fragrances from this list: black pepper, cinnamon (*), clove (*), eucalyptus, jasmine, lavender, lemon, mint, orange, pine, rose, sage (*), and thyme (*).
Because some fragrances are stimulants, those scents should not be massaged on a woman if she is pregnant. These stimulants I have marked with an asterisk (*).
Listed here are beneficial fragrances for each sun sign.
Aries: Bay (*), Birch(*), Juniper(*), Lemon, Myrrh(*), Rosemary(*), Sage(*), Thyme(*).
