It seems that Essential Lavender is such a big seller that everyone wants these aromatherapy gift baskets. I finally found some time to make these as well as Orange Aromatherapy Gift Baskets for those who need a little uplift to their spirits.

The Essential Lavender Aromatherapy Gift Basket is the perfect gift for yourself or someone you love. Why pay expensive fees for a spa treatment when you can have your very own spa gift basket for so much less?

Spa gift baskets have become very popular this year and I am sure than anyone of you would appreciate having their very own Essential Lavender Aromatherapy Gift Baskets. I only have a few available and I am not sure how long I can find all of the products that I have included in these Aromatherapy Gift Baskets. it is not problem finding some of the elements in the Essential Lavender and Essential Orange Gift Baskets as I make some things here fresh as soon as your order goes through. What I cannot gaurantee are the things such as the exact Aromatherapy Diffuser, these may change as I run out, also the exfoliating bath/shower mitt may need to be changed to a loofah type cloth, but don’t worry I won’t run out of the Essential Lavender and Essential Orange Aromatherapy Gift Baskets for a little while.

Essential Lavender Oil: 5 Ways to Benefit from Lavender Essential Oil

Essential Lavender Oil is the #1 Oil sold by Aromatherapists around the world. It is the very first choice that the general public chooses and which aromatherapists recommend the most.

What is the reason for this phenomenon?

Why is Essential Lavender Oil the most loved oil?

What distinguishes it from the rest of the essential oils?

Essential Lavender has been the most popular since the beginning of the ages as far as we can trace it. The Greeks and Romans perfumed their baths with Lavender and it was a popular facial water between the 14th and 19th Centuries.

It was also burned as incense to the gods & goddesses and carried during the plague to ward off the diseases which were so prevalent.

The name Lavender comes from the Latin verb meaning “to Wash.” Lavender was essential to everyday living. It is even believed to ward off the evil eye.

Essential Lavender Oil blends well with many other Essential Oils also such as: Bergamot, Cedarwood, Chamomile, Clary Sage, Clove, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Fennel, Frankincense, Geranium, Grapefruit, Jasmine, Juniper Berry, Lemon, Lemongrass, Linden Blossom, Mandarin, Marjoram, Melissa, Myrrh, Neroli, Niaouli, Orange, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Peppermint, Pine, Rose, Rosemary, Sandalwood, Tea tree, Vetivert and Ylang Ylang.

Some of Essential Lavender Oils properties are: It is analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-septic, anti-rheumatic, a cell regenerator and a disinfectant.

I would like you to note this very carefully. Most aromatherapy books and web sites say that you can use Lavender oil and/or Tea tree oil undiluted on the skin. This is what is known as a neat application. BUT the big surprise is that they are finding more and more people are becoming sensitized to these mild oils because they were not diluted in a suitable carrier oil.

ALWAYS DILUTE ANY ESSENTIAL OIL BEFORE USING ON THE SKIN!

Essential Lavender Oil can be used for so, so many things, I cannot write them all down in one article. But because of its diversity and the ability to be sedating or stimulating depending on its dosage this has made it the number #1 oil in aromatherapy.

Now, how can you use Essential Lavender Oil? I will tell you 5 ways as I promised

Essential Lavender Oil can be used in a candle light diffuser. Simply add 3-4 drops in some water on the top and light the candle underneath.
Essential Lavender Oil can be placed on a cotton ball and placed inside your pillow at night for sweet, relaxing dreams
Essential Lavender Oil can be added to your evening bath by adding it to a teaspoon of carrier oil or honey. 10 drops per bath is about right.
Essential Lavender Oil can be added to a Tissue Kleenex and then stick it on a fan. The fan will cause the Essential Lavender to permeate the immediate area. This is great if you are stressed out.
Lastly, for this article, Essential Lavender Oil can be added to 15ml of carrier oil and massaged gently into your skin. If you can get a loving partner to do it for you then it will be even more relaxing.

I hope you have enjoyed these tips. Be sure to check out my webpage.

Essential Lavender Oil vs. Fragrance of Essential Lavender

Many people get confused when it comes to aromatherapy. This is because there is no law restricting companys from using fragrance oils in the products and calling it aromatherapy. Because of this, many people confuse aromatherapy with anything that smells nice. In actual fact there are many essential oils that do not smell that nice but can benefit you in spite of the fact of it’s smell.

It is important for people to realize that just because a product says aromatherapy on it, that does not mean it is a true aromatherapy product. Unless you see that it contains essential oils, rather than just fragrance, you will not get the benefits from the product that you may associate with the scent, such a lavender. If Lavender fragrance oil is used in the product rather than Lavender Essential oil you cannot benefit from the properties associated with the true essential oil. It is not only the SMELL in an aromatherapy product that causes relaxation but the therapeutic benefits of the natural chemicals which are found in the distilled essential oil.

Taking an affordable aromatherapy course can teach you all of these things.

How do you use aromatherapy essential oils?

I see them in shops, read them online etc, but I've never really understood how to use them. Why must you dilute the oils, and with what?

Also, what sort of burner is the best - ceramic or metal ones?

Anyone expert on aromatherapy, or have step by step guides on them - I have yet to find a comprehensive website that isn't trying to market their oils. I just need to know how to use them properly.

Thank you!

The essential oils are very potent and to use them neat on your skin could cause damage. The usual dilution is 6 drops of essential oil to 10 mls of carrier oil. Oils have different properties and should be used for different conditions.
I will have a look around for some decent sites and put them in later….;

How do you set up an aromatherapy kit?

My mom received an aromatherapy kit from a friend. I have no idea how she needs to set it up… It has a ceramic plate with a spot for a tea light, two extra tea lights, a couple of little bottles of sandalwood frangrance, a porcelain leaf and beads, and a regular leaf with some three-or-four inch pieces of what I think is hemp. How is this supposed to be set up?
It didn't come with directions, and since it is a gift, it wouldn't be appropriate to return it.

I would take it to the store and explain that you cant work out how to set this up and can they explain as it did not come with directions and it was a gift … this is a different kit than the one i was given so i m not much help

Whats the best aromatherapy essential oil to use for handmade soap?

I was planning on making a small batch. Wondering what other soapers have liked in the way of aromatherapy essential oils (as oppossed to perfume fragrance) oil.

I know a lot of them aren’t suitable for handmade soap because of the termperature or expense. I was thinking of orange, patchouli or cedar.

Any suggestions?

Thanks all - be well
Tink

Lavender or sage. Love the orange thought also.

What is the difference between edible cooking oils and the carrier oils used in aromatherapy?

I am very interested in experimenting with the carrier oils used in aromatherapy. However, where I come from (Singapore), aromatherapy is not such a big thing and thus their products are quite exorbitantly priced. I was wondering if I could substitute edible oils for the carrier oils (e.g. sunflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil etc.) Has anyone tried before?

Theroretically yes. But most cooking oils are processed to give them a longer shelf life - this is not so good for aromatherapy. That's partly why carrier oils sold for aromatherapy can seem more expensive.
If looking in the cooking oils look for oils which say they are "cold pressed" and/or "virgin" which means the first pressing. Sunflower oil is often processed, so I would be wary of that. Cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil would fit the bill, but can have a strong smell and some aromatherapists dislike it for that reason. If using sesame oil make sure it is not the toasted version often used in cooking. You might want to experiement with mixtures of different oils as they all behave differently and have different aromas.

Can you use essential oils in tea? Like lavender essential oil?

or others?
I want to try it to help me sleep.

Lavender oil, or any essential oil for that matter, should never be taken internally unless administered or prescribed by a full quaified aromatherapist or other health professional specialising in the uses and administration of such essential oils ………….. what did you want to heal??

Try putting a few drops of pure essential lavender oil in a warm bath and soak in that for 15 - 20 minutes ~ inhale the beautifull calming aromas. It reduces stress and calms the nervous system, lifts depression and eases headaches and insomnia too ♥

caution ~ avoid using for the first 4 months ofpregnancy, longer if there is a history of miscarriage……….. if that is the case simply substitue for chamomile tea … Chamomile tea is a classic and popular bedtime anti - insomnia drink and will soothe the over excitable, relieve mental strain and stress, depression and insomnia…………… only organic though, as the commercial varieties have had nearly all the essential oils pulverised from them and could never possibly be used for therapeutic purposes.

take care of you ♥

has anyone used lavender or rosemary oil on their scalp for hair growth? Thanks

I tried but I didn't stick with it. I think one of the essential oils irritated my scalp or something.
