Aromatic Natural Body Powder

Do you know…….Generally we use body powder for softer skin, light fragrance, and even in shoes to refresh that smelly shoes. Many store bought body powders and baby powders contain talcum, which is suspected to be

              Aromatic Dusting Powder

containing the known carcinogen, asbestos. Therefore, try to avoid the use of commercially available body powder and hand make the aromatic natural body powder containing essential oils, that will deodorize and soften your skin.

Since centuries, Essential Oils have been utilized in cosmetics, fragrances, healing, as an antiseptic, and for health remedies. These Essential Oils are natural, volatile, concentrated liquid extracts taken from the roots, leaves, seeds, bark, or blossoms of plants. There are great many options of essential oils to choose from for the body powder recipe:

Vanilla, Lavender, Sweet orange, Jasmine, Geranium, Rose otto or absolute, Lemon, Clove, Cinnamon, Ylang ylang, Clary sage, Masculine scents: Bergamot, Vetiver, Nutmeg, Patchouli

Try making this natural body powder with these readily available natural products. This is a basic idea to get you started. You can customize this in different ways.

Ingredients:

1C Corn Starch or preferably Arrow Root Powder

¼ C Baking Soda

1tsp Jojoba or Coconut Oil

2 Tbsp Rose water

15 dr Bergamot or Jasmine or Rose Essential Oil

30 dr Lavender Essential Oil

In a large glass bowl or measuring cup mix corn starch (arrow root powder) and baking soda with a fork or wire whisk. In a separate bowl, add essential oils to the Coconut (Jojoba) oil and stir well to combine, add oil mixture to powder mixture stirring well with a fork until no lumps remain. Pore the powder in an empty clean old powder container or a spice jar or in any air tight container, cap, label, and store in a cool, dry, dark place. This homemade body powder will last 4-6 months. Use this smooth and soothing powder as deodorant or just apply the finished powder into your arm pits or wherever you struggle with perspiration.

Aromatic Reed Diffuser

Do you know…….Reed Diffuser is an elegant way to aromatize any room with light, subtle aroma. Homemade Aromatherapy reed diffuser is also an easy and cost effective excellent holiday gift or a birthday gift, or a house warming gift, or a gift for any other occasion. It can be customized according to season, occasion, personal scent preference. So get creative and have fun.

              Aromatic Reed Diffuser

Peaceful Aromatic Diffuser Blend

8 drops Bergamot Essential Oil

6 drops Frankincense Essential Oil

6 drops Palmarosa Essential Oil

4 drops Geranium Essential Oil

¼ cup Carrier Oil or Distilled Water

2 Tbsp Alcohol (Vodka or Rubbing Alcohol)

Method

Add 1/4 cup of lighter carrier oil (Apricot Seed or Safflower or Sweet Almond) or distilled water (or can use Dipropylene glycol, but I don’t like using it) to a glass measuring cup, add above essential oils (or your desired Essential Oils), add 2Tbsp of alcohol, stir the mixture well with a reed stick and pour it in a narrow neck glass bottle or jar.

Add the rattan reeds to the bottle so that the ends are submerged fully in the oil. Rattan reeds can be cut to desired length if needed. Turn the reeds upside down every few days or at least once a week to get the most aroma from the mixture.

Once a month can top up with more essential oils, depending how well they last – base essential oils tend to last much longer than top notes.

If the liquid mixture starts to look or smell unpleasant, dump it out, wash the jar, and make a new batch.

Wishes for an Aromatic 2019!

Do you know………….from here on, I thought of starting my every day with all the things that I am thankful for. First, being grateful to the Almighty for his blessings, the next on my list is you all for giving me strength and keeping me motivated to follow my passion of Aromatherapy, then my friends, family, and strangers who are kind to me. My list kept growing with the sense of well-being and gratitude;                 

  • Remembering that I am loved, though I feel totally alone, but I am just lonely for one specific person, my husband, who left me alone for the Heavenly Abode too early. It makes me very sad and sometimes depressed. I read this beautiful line, “To remember brings a painful joy,” as if it was written just for me.
  • I have gradually learnt and trained myself to focus on present and continue to do my best by changing my emotional state from being sad (which certainly is the most difficult task) and feeling sorry for myself.
  • Not be fearful of life’s debacles and fight it patiently with intelligence. With this affirmation, I would like to wish everyone,

A Peaceful-Safe-Happy-Aromatic 2019!

Avoid Holiday Stress with Aromatherapy

A Lovely Christmas-Eve Morning to you all!

Do you know………….. We’re a society of chronic stress, an awful fact, that many of us don’t realize, but everyone likes to have some peace, quiet, and the inner serenity. Especially around Holidays, we get stressed for many reasons like; the stress of planning, stress of gift exchange, stress of having family-friends over or visiting them, financial stress, and the stress of keeping up with the fast-pace schedule amidst job-family responsibilities. Though, Christmas is no doubt the best time of the year.

While vastly different, each stressful situation, whether life-threatening or simple inconvenience, or dealing with day to day life or constantly under attack by outside forces (especially, our own loved ones), triggers a fight or flight response, releasing adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream. Adrenaline increases blood pressure and boosts energy supplies, while cortisol releases glucose into the bloodstream, and even altering the immune system which can cause some serious health risks, including:

Insomnia

High blood-pressure

Depression, Increased anxiety

Hormonal imbalances

Hostility and rage

Aggressive and impulsive behavior

This is why we need to work towards de-cluttering our life. Take a step back, and assess what is stressing you out? To avoid the holiday stress, plan things ahead of time including the regular weekly schedule, try to incorporate 20-60 minutes of daily exercise routine, make sure to have 8 hours of quality sleep per night, and spend time with family-friends-loved ones to comfort the heart and soul. Essential oils are probably best known for their calming and relaxing properties to maintain physical and mental health. Essential Oils can be applied topically with proper dilution on wrist, neck, temple or can be used in diffuser. Some of the pure, natural, classic holiday aroma of Essential Oils such as Cinnamon, Clove, Pine, Orange, Tangerine, Peppermint, Myrrh, Nutmeg, Ginger, Lavender, Frankincense, Sandalwood, Spruce, Patchouli, can help weather seasonal stress.

Holiday Aromatic Diffuser Blend

30 drops Sweet Orange

10 drops Cinnamon bark

10 drops Clove

5 drops Geranium or Ylang ylang

5 drops Pine

Blend oils in a 5 ml dark glass euro bottle, close, mix, label, and add 8-10 drops to diffuser or in a candle warmer as desired.
