In many modern stores, you can see essential oils on sale. But not all buyers are fully informed about what it is – essential oil, and how and where it can and should be used. If you belong to them, then you will most likely also be curious to find out that the scope of essential oils is large enough.
To begin with, it should be said that essential oils are active and volatile substances that are in plants and help them delight us with their greenery and beauty. In addition, essential oils give colors their unique aroma, without which it is impossible to imagine any flower.
Molecules of essential oils, entering the human body through the nasal sinuses, are able to reach the brain and influence it – so, thanks to the effects of essential oils, a person can be given tone and self -confidence, increase his mood and even increase performance.
If we talk about the use of essential oils in medicine, then, first of all, it must be said that in this science there is such a thing as aromotherapy. First of all, it is Aromomassage. It is carried out on the basis of vegetable oils or oils of olive, apricot or sesame seeds, which added a few drops of essential oil. This method of using essential oil can rightly be called the most ancient – even the royal persons were delighted with this wonderful and tonic procedure.
Modern cosmetologists advise enriching your favorite creams, balms, lotions or masks of essential oils to increase their effectiveness. But at the same time, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the next dosage – 2-3 drops of essential oil per table or two teaspoons of your cosmetics. Moreover, before adding oil to cosmetics, make sure that there is no chemical fragrance in the cream or mask, otherwise a mixture of essential oil and artificial fragrance will most likely cause you a persistent headache.
Another method of using essential oils in medicine is the use of their inhalations. Almost all essential oils have an antibacterial effect. Therefore, having caught a cold, do not rush to swallow tablets and mixtures-add 5-6 drops of any essential oil for 500 ml of hot water and take away about a steam for about 10-12 minutes.
If you are tired, you had a hard day, after which you would like to relax and relax – take a bath with your favorite essential oil. For this excellent procedure, add 5-6 drops of essential oil, the aroma of which is most pleasant to you, into one tablespoon of honey or a glass of cream or milk, pour this mixture into a bath and enjoy!
Nowadays, many have probably seen aromedalions on sale more than once. In the case when you would like to constantly feel the aroma of your favorite essential oil, use an aromedalon, which, moreover, will also serve as a stylish accessory. Just do not forget to periodically “refuel” it with a few drops of essential oil, and it will delight and maintain your tone all day. When using an aromedalon, it is not recommended to use perfumes – the combination of their aromas is unlikely to give pleasure to you and others.
In order for essential oils to delight you with their aromas for a long time, they must be stored, observing certain conditions. They are afraid of sunlight and poorly tolerate temperature changes, so it will be better if you find a dark and cool place in your apartment for your favorite essential oils that will always help you overcome hardships and always remain in good shape.
