Aromatherapy (using essential oils)  is the art of using essential oils to improve health conditions and change mental states. 

Aromatherapy can be incorporated into your stress breaks to create a haven of relaxation and increased focus.

Although some people may have sensitivities to artificial fragrances and perfumes, such individuals can often tolerate aromatherapy with natural essential oils.

Here are some practical ways to integrate aromatherapy into your day to improve health and wellness.

Lavender Break

Lavender has been showed to help decrease depression and improve mental clarity in people who have Alzheimer’s disease. It can also help improve your mental processes when you have important tasks to achieve.

Did you know that lavender also resonates with the liver energy, which rules our blood pressure and quality of blood?

As a result, people with high blood pressure or anemia can benefit from using lavender aromatherapy, especially when combined with blood building essential oils such as geranium.

Also, since lavender supports the energy of the liver, it can help support our prosperity because liver energy is associated with prosperity of creativity and our ability to produce material abundance. So, if you are struggling with the lack of material abundance, give your liver energy a boost with lavender especially during times of economic challenges.

Order the Aiki Healing Relax Blend which not only has lavender but has also been carefully formulated with other essential oils that provide deeper healing for depression and other imbalances related to liver energy.

Sweet Marjoram and Rosemary

These aromatherapy essential oils can help relax the body in way that encourages mental focus.  The key is using them in combination with other relaxing essential oils.

Thus, I often create custom sweet marjoram blends with my clients who have attention deficit disorder to help them increase their ability to concentrate on tasks.

Rosemary protects our outer layer of energy or wei qi to promote stronger immunity and also ward of nightmares or disturbed sleep. Thus, I create custom blends for my clients who have herpes, HIV, and for those going through chemotherapy to help support the immunity system.  Call me at 512.468.6588 or email me for a custom formula.

Citrus Boost

Citrus oils such as lemon, grapefruit and orange are known as top notes. They awaken and lift energy.   These essential oils are wonderful to energize the mind and  body.

The Aiki Healing Awaken blend is a citrus based blend that clients have reported have the impact of rejuvenating them when tired and also awakening the spiritual self for meditative work.  Visit my aromatherapy store to order a bottle.

I create custom blends wtih citrus oils such as melissa (lemon balm) to  lower high thyroid hormones as merely sniffing this oil can impact thyroid hormones.

I also create grapefruit essential oil blends to clear the lymphatic system and helps clear obstructions. Thus, Aiki Healing Lover’s Blend which contains grapefruit can be used in lotions and creams to also break up cellulite.

Diffuse Your Oils with Mindfulness

When using essential oils in public place such as the work place, be mindful of the sensitivities of others to fragrance.

To prepare a work-friendly diffuser,  use plastic bags to hold tissues soaked in essential oils. You can discreetly open the bag and take a sniff of your favorite essential oil and close the bag tightly, so the scent does not permeate the air.

In this way, you can enjoy aromatherapy without impacting others who do not wish to partake of scents.
