Some of these aromatherapy scents include the tea tree, lemon, chamomile, rosemary, jasmine, lavender and peppermint. Each of these scents, used by itself or combined with others has unique healing effects so careful consideration should be given when choosing a scent. For instance, tea tree oil when applied directly can be used to cure athlete’s foot. Lavender, chamomile and rosemary are all used to reduce anxiety, they relax you emotionally and physically, and of course they have the ability to reduce stress. Applied physically, lavender oil heals cuts and bruises and can even help with burns and scalds. Eucalyptus and peppermint bring fast relief of coughs. It has even recently been realized that peppermint can reduce the effects of jetlag. Although there are almost over ninety different types of essential oils used, the lavender scent in aromatherapy seems to be quite popular. Although a professional aromatherapy massage with lavender oil is very relaxing and melts your stress away, there are a few other ways to experience the healing and calming benefits of lavender scent in aromatherapy right at home. Combine the oil with aromatherapy candles, or even aromatherapy body candles can be beneficial to your health.

For those lucky enough to have a garden, simply strolling through your field of lavender flowers will soothe and relax you. During a bath, lavender bath salts and bath balls can be added to your bath water. If you prefer to use the essential oil, be sure to dilute it as recommended as direct application may harm the skin. It can be diluted in oil, honey or even milk. You would definitely enjoy this lavender bath as it will sooth your mind, relax aching muscles, as well as prepare you for a restful night’s sleep.

Adding some drops of lavender oil (either pure oil or body candle essential oil) to some water in a spray bottle can be used as an air refreshner. Spray this in all the rooms in your house and you are guaranteed to experience the relaxing effects of it. Spraying this around your bedroom during bedtime can also contribute to a good night’s sleep. In addition to the air refresher, lighting scented lavender aromatherapy candles in all the rooms in your home has the same relaxing and soothing effect. These are less pricy than other scents and can be found in any department store. Of course, in my view, getting a full body lavender scented aromatherapy massage is the ideal relaxation and stress eliminator.

So if you have not yet had the exquisite experience of aromatherapy, there are a few simple things you and your loved ones can do to enjoy this ancient science of healing and relaxation right at home.

In aroma today, there are too many specified scents to list briefly. However, the most well-known and popular scents consist of those in which are said to have a calming effect for most people, which is indeed what the majority people who use aromatherapy today aim for. These particular scents are listed and described below:

Ÿ  Lavender- The scent of lavender is derived from the actual lavender flower, which might have already been apparent to most people reading this. The fact that it has many beneficial effects when inhaled or smelled gave it the nickname of Blue Magic. This essential oil, if not the most popular, is most definitely among the most popular essential oils in the world and is said to truly be the most “essential” of all essential oils.

Ÿ  Vanilla- Although some believe vanilla can be used as an aphrodisiac, it is among the most popular essential oils today. With its overwhelming scent being one of the most favorable scents in the world, the demand for it is extremely high. I’m sure you know what it smells like, of course aromatherapy is not the only thing that the actual substance, vanilla, is used for.

Ÿ  Rose- Usually burned to get the most beneficial scent out of it, Rose is another one of those calming essential oils that you are probably familiar with in some aspect. This scent is derived from the actual flower just as lavender is and provides an invigorating smell, although it must be used in higher concentration than some other essential oils UNLESS you do actually burn it. 

Ÿ  Jasmine- Being very popular among the romantic and sensual type, jasmine is commonly referred to as “The King of the Oils”. Just by reading that sentence probably gave you an idea of what one of the benefits are, and that is the fact that the scent of jasmine can actually induce the sensual mood of people. So among the benefits of jasmine are both the obvious relaxation benefits, and sensual benefits as well.

Although these are only a few aromatherapy scents, they are most certainly among the most used and are some of the best sellers scents in the world. Without the actual scents of all essential oils, aromatherapy would simply not have the same affect on people as it does with those invigorating scents, thank god for the sense of smell.
