Aroma Therapy

Garden Herbs.jpg
* Rosemary: a spicy aroma that stirs and strenghtens. It refreshes the skin and tightens the pores. Excellent choice at the end of a stress filled day.
* Peppermint: improves circulation, soothes a headache, dizziness and nausea. Combined with a gentle massage of the head will improve its affect.
* Rose: reduces inflammation, calms the skin and helps balance its moisture content. It also helps balance emotions.
* Lavender: refreshes and harmonizes; it helps calm nerves and lift a sad disposition; it even helps with a panic attack.

Aroma therapy is generally used in a form of an oil. It may be combined with a massage oil or used in vapor form. Peppermint may also be consumed as a tea in which case it also helps to settle an upset stomach.
