practice aromatherapy

I took a class, had all the stuff, then sort of let it fall by the wayside. I need to pull out my old books and get some fresh supplies, especially for soothing and stimulating.

I found a store this week that will custom-make you your own lotions, etc., with essential oils of your choosing! So, i bought jasemine bubble bath and lotion. It is SO decadent.

For my reward this week for adding more activity to my life, I bought an aromatherapy body cream in lavender. It is SO scrumptious! I also found some jasemine creme bath and body lotion. It also smells incredible. I just showered, so I’m going to put the jasemine on and enjoy the smell!

I’ve been using the migraine tincture I made when I have a headache coming on at work. It certainly calms me, although I don’t usually get rid of the pain using it. But I love it. I love the mixture of lavendar and peppermint.

Right now I’m wearing my aromatherapy shoulder wrap. I love this- it smells wonderful, and it is nice to have the warmth on my shoulders.

Over the next few weeks, I want to get some sachet bags and make some sachets for my closet and vanity.

And it was wonderful! I LOVE peppermint salts!

I used the last of my salts, though, so I will have to make some more this week before my next bath this Saturday/Sunday. I also think I will try to get some good shampoo and make a bubble bath. THAT would be pure heaven!

Yesterday I took an aromatherapy bath. It was wonderful!

I need to make more bath salts and do that again!

I’ve been doing some sort of aromatherapy nearly every day this week. I took a small bottle of migraine pulse-point oil to work, and I’ve been using it daily to help stave off headaches. I can’t say that it’s helped with that, but it has helped me relax, thus taking away the fuel for the headache.

I have not yet been able to use the body powder or bath salts I made late last week, but I am hoping to have the opportunity over the course of the weekend.

Yesterday, I came home from work and made myself an aromatherapy bath. It was very nice. I put peppermint soap and sweet pea scrub in the water, and soaked for about 20 minutes. Since I was pretty stressed out, it was great!

Today, I went and bought some small glass vials for pulse-point oils, some small steel containers and rice powder for body powders, and epsom and sea salts for scrubs and bath salts. I made a pulse point oil this evening for migraines, with lavendar and peppermint. I also made a lavendar body scrub with the almond oil I bought last week and the sea salts I bought today. I’m going to have to find some glycerin, though, before I can make the bath salts. I also need to get some labels so I can label my oil bottles.

I’m very pleased with what I’ve done this week!
