Enhance your life with the scents of nature
There are many simple and satisfying ways to use aromatherapy in your everyday life. Whether you need to calm down, wake up, feel more confident or attract your true love, aromatherapy will benefit you. But sometimes embarking upon a journey in a new direction can be unsettling because we aren't sure how to begin. For those who are new to aromatherapy, it can feel overwhelming at first. For this reason, we have gathered some commonly used terms in aromatherapy and provided some simple explanations.
Simple Aromatherapy Glossary:
Room Diffuser- There are many different styles, but the concept is the same. A diffuser consists of a small dish above a tea light candle, used for fragrancing the room. To use, fill the dish with water and add 15-20 drops of your favorite essential oils. Light the candle underneath. As the water heats up, the evaporation process will create a fragrant steam that will scent the room.
Carrier Oil- Because essential oils are too concentrated to use directly on the skin, a carrier oil is needed to dilute the oils before applying them to the body. The most typical carrier oils used are almond or grapeseed, since they are light and non-greasy.
However, any vegetable or nut oil will do, as long as they are pure and from a reputable source.
Distillation- This refers to the process in which the oil is extracted from the botanical. Pure essential oils are extracted from the bark, roots, berries, flowers, stalks, leaves, and resins of trees, flowers and plants. The price of the oil depends on how complex the extraction process is. Similar to fine wines, the oils range in price based on rarity and quality.
Pure- In the practice of aromatherapy, it is very important to obtain pure 100% essential oils in order to experience any therapeutic benefit. Since essential oils are not federally regulated, some companies attempt to pass off "pure" essential oils that are either diluted or entirely synthetic, and are often parodies of the real thing. It is beneficial to find one supplier which you know and trust. Auroma's essential oils are 100% pure and are backed by Australia's Therapeutic Goods Alliance (TGA), which does regulate the production and sales of pure essential oils. You can trust that you are getting the highest quality product when you purchase Auroma's line of pure essential oils.
