Aromatherapy  

     Have you ever noticed the affect different fragrances have on you? Much like Herbology, the aromas of herbs and flowers create certain effects: relaxation, energy, etc.

     Aromatherapy, an extremely fascinating but lengthy subject, relates to flower and herb fragrances captured in oils and what effects the different fragrances have on a person, such as, increasing energy or creating a good feeling.

     Aromas encourage angelic protection, calmness, creativity, clearer dreams, harmonizing with the higher self, inspiration, self-confidence, stamina, and trust in the Universe, to name a few of the benefits of aromatherapy.

     The easiest way to use aromas for your benefit and pleasure is to put a few drops of oil on a cotton ball. Put the cotton ball in a container of some sort because the oils can stain clothing and furniture then hide the container in a bouquet of dried flowers or behind a plant.

     After you discover what fragrances you enjoy and the special effect each aroma has on you, add two more fragrances, putting one very small drop of oil on a separate cotton ball and place the cotton balls on a small saucer or in a bouquet of dried flowers or herbs.

     Or, put the drops of oil in a diffuser, in a saucepan of water on the stove or in a humidifier and breathe in the aromas! To start, choose two fragrances from this list: black pepper, cinnamon, orange, tea tree, clove (*), eucalyptus, jasmine, lavender, lemon, mint, orange, pine, rose, sage (*), and thyme (*).

     Because some fragrances are stimulants, those scents should not be massaged on a woman if she is pregnant; these I have marked with an asterisk (*).

     Listed here are beneficial fragrances for each sun sign.
