It's amazing how we are affected by smell, often without even realising it. This time in Autumn is when some bad things happen to me and I find myself being brought down because of the smell in the air.
On the other hand certain smells have the opposite effects and make us happy, like the first day of spring or a fryig breakfast. This has good memories for me because a friend of mind and I would go out early on our motorcycles and as we drifted through villages you could smell food frying.
This is by way of an introduction to aromatherapy. Unless you have used oils before you are unlikely to have any reminiscenses to them. However they do work on a very deep level.
There are a few ain ways to use the oils: put it in a purpose built burner with a candle, some drips on a light bulb (make sure the bulb is cool to start with or it might shatter). \you can drip some on a radiator or pour some into a cloth and put it under your pillow or even sniff it straight out of the bottle. Many drip some in the bath, though the best way is to have a trained aromatherapist massage the oil into your back.
Next Post we'll mentiona few oils and what we use them for..
