Everyone enjoys the inhalation of a beautiful perfume. We are all familiar with the desire to try to prolong the satisfaction of a breath from a fragrant rose in the garden.

We have the benefit of the availability of the finest essential oils and produce the world offers on the market for those interested in perfumery and in use of oils in aromatherapy. They are in regular use in beauty parlours, healing clinics, churches and the home. Scientific research continues to make us aware of wider benefit as in the case of mental stress, psychological tension and in reference to the benefit to the development of children.

When we want to screen unpleasant odours we can use one of the many, but often unpleasant chemical sprays on the market. Or we can use natural scents such as eucalyptus, lavender, lemon and thyme and many others that have a beneficial nature and do not cause allergic reactions. It is good to walk into a home and to experience our first breath as a pleasant one that sets a good atmosphere.

Although many people use incense sticks to perfume their homes or to create an atmosphere suitable for their meditations, discrimination must be used as many commercial products are polluted by foreign ingredients that outweigh any natural ingredient and nullify any beneficial influence. To use any scent so that it has an overpowering effect, particularly when it is a questionable one, is more damaging than helpful to the business that market inferior products. In Australia one of the most popular uses of aromatics is the outdoor burning of lavender or sandalwood sticks to reduce the smells at barbeques. It has the additional benefit in reducing insect problems.

However, it is when studying the subtle healing influences of the pure essential oils, that we find many pleasant surprises in the wide range of applications that can benefit us personally. Many oils are now regularly used by physiotherapists and aromatherapists, massage parlours and naturopathic clinics. For instance, healing oils such as peppermint can be used with great success in massaging sore muscles around the spine. Inhalation of lavender brings relief from nervous strain and stress. We can apply the magic powers of Tea Tree oil to cure fungal conditions and a great range of minor problems or we can add beautiful perfumed oils to our bathwater for a relaxing soak. Other practical uses of scented oils include scented pillows to induce good quality sleep. Asthmatics find relief after direct or steam inhalations. Oils can provide safe, natural deodorants -the list of benefits is extensive.

Essential oils can be diluted with almond oil for direct use on the body, and must be carefully considered before applying to a baby or infant. So begin to experiment for pure enjoyment or visit an experienced aromatherapist for specific healing oils.

Enjoy every breath of the lovely natural essential oils – nature’s rich storehouse of pleasures and remedies.
