Aromatherapy beads are just one of the ways in which you can enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy.
While candles are still the most popular item, beads are emerging as a beneficial aromatherapy tool that not only works but are also lovely to look at.
The Power Of Smell There are a number of people who vouch for the value of aromatherapy treatment.
It seems hard to believe that a smell can be so powerful and this is because smell is something we really take for granted.
But think about it this way.
When you have a bad head cold, tucking into a pizza or a nice, freshly baked cinnamon pastry can be like eating a piece of plain bread.
Why? Because you can't smell anything! Enjoying a good meal is as much about the smell as it is about the taste.
Smells can also work as powerful triggers.
The scent of your late grandmother's perfume can be so overwhelming that it can reduce you to tears.
In many cases, a smell can bring back memories that we thought we had forgotten.
And you have probably had the experience of smelling something so bad that it almost made you sick.
It's clear that our sense of smell is incredibly powerful.
This is why aromatherapy is such a powerful form of rejuvenation and healing.
Beads And Baubles The basic material for aromatherapy lies in the oils- a number of natural essential oil extracts are used to either heal or rejuvenate a person.
Healing oils are ones that can soothe stress and aching muscles.
Aromatherapy is also great for conditions like headaches, nausea and even digestive problems.
Oils with rejuvenation powers can energize you when you feel depressed or tired.
Even emotions like sadness and anger can be dissipated with the right kind of oils.
Aromatherapy beads combine the power of the oils with a wonderful sense of beauty.
These beads contain the oils that you need and are convenient, as you can carry them around without worrying about spillage.
These beads can be clear or colored.
The clear beads have a gentle beauty of their own while colored ones can be attractive by themselves or when mixed with other colors.
It's a good idea to check the bead material first, to ensure that it won't react with the oils.
These oils can be activated by your own body temperature so if you wear the beads on a necklace or bracelet, you can easily replenish your senses whenever you need to! Aromatherapy beads can be used in many other ways as well.
Since they look so pleasing to the eye, you can keep them in an open container- a clear glass one usually looks the best.
If you are going to mix some beads together, make sure that the oils do not clash.
Some scents do not blend well when they are active.
You can also put these beads in an air diffuser that doesn't heat up.
These can disperse the scents in a subtle and natural way.
As with all aromatherapy products, make sure that only natural oils are used in your aromatherapy beads.
Chemical based oils will most likely have an adverse effect on you and some may even cause nausea, headache and skin irritation.
Using natural essential oils will ensure that you can get the most out of your beads.
