Aromatherapy for Body Odor

Posted on August 23, 2021 by in Aromatherapy for Body Odor

Aromatherapy for Body Odor
A Lovely Monday Morning to You All!
PLEASE STAY SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19). FOLLOW GOOD HAND HYGIENE and MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING

Do you know…………… Body odor is the unpleasant smell our body gives off when natural skin bacteria breaks down sweat proteins into acids.

                                      Body Odor

It is also known as B.O., Bromhidrosis, Osmidrosis, or Ozochrotia. Some other causes of offensive body odor include poor hygiene, nutrient deficiencies, diet, medication, gastrointestinal problems like chronic constipation, and underlying medical problems, such as; genetic metabolic disorders, liver disease, or diabetes. Each person’s unique body odor can be used to identify people, especially by our pets, like dogs and other animals.

Sweating, in general, is the body’s natural way to regulate its temperature, but unpleasant body odor can affect our confidence and personality. Bacteria breakdown proteins in our sweat into two acids – propionic acid and isovaleric acid. Propionic acid is produced when Propionibacteria break down amino acids. It has a pungent smell and is often associated with vinegar, while Isovaleric acid, also found in many kinds of cheese, is produced by Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria. Human body also has two types of sweat glands, Eccrine Glands: These glands are found throughout the body and produce sweat for maintaining our body temperature. Apocrine Glands(scent gland): These glands are found in our armpits, eyelids, genital area, breasts and are usually responsible for the foul odor produced by our body,

Body odor can be treated by practicing good hygiene and with over-the-counter medicines or Anti-perspirants or Deodorants. But lately, there has been a lot of debate surrounding the chemicals used in deodorants and their cumulative adverse effect on the human body. The safer, alternative, simple, and natural home remedies that help get rid of body odor by controlling the growth of bacteria and reducing excessive sweating, is the use of Essential Oils. Essential oils are natural, volatile, concentrated, liquid extract of different parts of plants that possess individual therapeutic properties:

Floral Scent Essential oils: include Rose, Lavender, Clary Sage, Patchouli, Mandarin, Geranium
Citrus Scent Essential oils: include Neroli, Lemon grass, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Cypress, Lemon

Happiness Healing with Aromatherapy

Posted on August 9, 2021 by in Happiness Healing with Aromatherapy

Happiness Healing with Aromatherapy
A Lovely Monday Morning to You All!
PLEASE STAY SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19). FOLLOW GOOD HAND HYGIENE and MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING

Do you know…………If you want to be happy, learn to move on. What does that mean? It simply means, learn the lesson from your mistakes, let go, and move on. Resentment, anger creates worries and devoid us of being happy. Remember energy follows where our

                      Happiness Healing

attention is. Identify and understand your situation and let it go. Master Stephen Co, a teacher, author, a healer, an expert in Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga, always use this metaphor, cars have proportionately larger windscreen than the back view mirror because when we are driving, we want to move forward not backward.

Why are we unhappy? It’s because of our disturbed mental-emotional health, our strained relationship, our conscious, our anger-ego-greed-lust-insecurity-fear, lack of understanding and accountability, and our physical health (WHO, analysed that on an average every 100 people has 200 illnesses). These negative qualities of our personality, makes us hostile and we start blaming others for our mishaps (while sometimes without realizing, we unknowingly give this right to others to take advantage of our trust, of our simplicity, and as a result get hurt) and in turn lose happiness. To attain happiness, we can follow these guidelines:

  1. Staying Grounded by regularly practicing meditation, yoga, mindfulness, and exercising, will help with our spirituality, hormonal balance, which in turn will keep our stress and anxiety in check.
  2. Avoid negativity and toxic people who pull you down, instead of being your support.

3. Pay attention to self-care by giving yourself a TLC (tender loving care). Catching up  on  tasks is great, but don’t hesitate to take breaks and pause.

  1. Indulge in activities that gives you pleasure, but you haven’t had time for it before. You deserve it.
  2. Walk in nature to get connected with your surroundings and the beautiful mother nature.
  3. Be compassionate and perform the random act of kindness, it leads to profound happiness in life and will get blessings in return.
  4. Be thankful and show gratitude for the abundance in life.
  5. Spend quality times with your loved ones.
  6. Finally, smell your favourite Essential oil and pamper yourself to a nice Aromatherapy massage. Essential oils have the power to affect person’s mood. Aromas are highly emotive, and everyone reacts to scents differently based on their past experiences, memory, and emotions. A sense of smell is one of the five senses and a powerful connector between people and the world around them.

Essential Oils are natural, volatile, concentrated, liquid plant extracts with different therapeutic properties and have been used since ancient times to cure different ailments and in beauty products. Tangerine, Peppermint and Eucalyptus essential oils can help with the mental focus, discipline, and coping mechanisms, Grapefruit essential oil helps to uplift, to cheer up, while Rose absolute and Geranium essential oil brings balance of spirit and feeling of harmony. Rosemary is clarifying, Sandalwood, Clove, Frankincense essential oils, help with breathing, grounding, and to stay centered.

Happiness Room Spray:

                     Essential Oils

3-4 oz. Distilled Water

1 Tbsp Alcohol

10 drops Sweet Orange Essential Oil

10 drops Lavender Essential Oil

8 drops Sandalwood Essential Oil
