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
Herbal Scent Essential oils: include Rosemary, Coriander, Sage

Other fragrant essential oils that can be used: Ylang ylang, Tea tree, Sandalwood

 Easy and Simple DIY Essential Oil Deodorant Body Powder:

¼ Cup Cornstarch or Arrowroot Powder: Corn starch absorbs wetne

            Deodorant Body Powder

ss of sweat, dilutes the alkalinity of the baking soda, arrowroot powder is anti-inflammatory

¼ Cup Baking Soda: odor absorber, anti-bacterial

1 tsp Coconut or Jojoba Oil: antibacterial, anti-inflamm

atory, moisturizer

4 drops Rose, Jasmine, or Vetiver Essential Oil: an astringent, antibacterial, uplifting

8 drops of lavender or Clary sage or Patchouli essential oil: bactericidal, antiseptic, astringent, deodorant,

8 drops Tea tree Essential oil: a natural antiseptic, anti-bacterial, deodorant

In a glass bowl mix starch and baking soda. Incorporate coconut oil, mix well. Now add Rose, Lavender and Tea tree essential oils, stir well. Store the mixture in a tightly sealed wide mouth jar or container with shaker top for 1-2 days before using to let aroma blend well. Apply this natural deodorant powder with puff daily or as desired.

 Natural Deodorant Spray Recipe: mix 8 drops each of clary sage essential oil, bergamot essential oil, lavender essential oil (or use your favorite essential oil fragrance), and 2 oz. of distilled Witch hazel in a 2 oz. glass spray bottle, close, label, mix well and use daily as a deodorant.

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

                     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

What is Epsom Salt

Posted on July 26, 2021 by in What is Epsom Salt?

What is Epsom Salt?
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……..Epsom Salt, that we use so lavishly as a natural remedy for number of ailments, to name a few; Muscle Cramps, Sprains, Fatigue, Skin problems, Athlete’s Foot, Toenail Fungus, Toxin Elimination, or General Aches, is not a salt. It’s a naturally occurring pure mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate. Epsom Salt, takes its name from a bitter saline spring in Epsom in Surrey, England, where the salt was produced from the spring.

Epsom salt helps to alleviate stress as stress drains the body of magnesium and increases levels of adrenaline. When we take bath of Epsom Salt, salt is absorbed in through the skin and replenishes the level of magnesium in the body which helps to produce serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of calmness and relaxation. Also, used for Arthritis pain and swelling, Sprains, Swollen and tired feet, Sunburn pain and redness, Sore muscles after workout.

Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate) also helps in gardening with seeds germination, makes plants grow bushier, produce more flowers, increases chlorophyll production.  Can add 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt to a gallon of water and sprinkle on lawn to keep the grass healthy and green.

Epsom salt is for external use only. There are no clinical studies done proving the safety and benefits of oral consumption of Epsom salt. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have not approved Epsom salt, so there are no official guidelines regarding the proper dosage or how to consume it. It is not good for people with severe skin infection and inflammation, or have kidney disease, or people who are pregnant. People use Epsom salts baths as a home treatment for plenty of minor ailments, but there aren’t sufficient studies to back them up. Taking this type of bath probably won’t hurt you, but if you have health concerns, always check with your doctor first.

Quick and easy nourishing Aromatherapy Bath Salt: make for yourself or gift it to family-friends

2 cups Epsom Salt

½ cup Baking Soda

2 Tbsp Dried Lavender Flower (or can use 10 drops Lavender Essential Oil)

6 drops Geranium Essential Oil

10 drops Orange Essential Oil

In a large bowl place Epsom salt and baking soda, mix well with a whisk, add essential oils, mix well. To colour (optional) the salt, use just few drops of food colouring of your preference, stir well, store in airtight glass jar, leaving half inch space at the top, label. After running a warm bath, pour ½-1 cup into bath and stir with your hand. Enjoy the relaxing, nourishing bath for 15 minutes to half an hour as and when you desire.

Aromatherapy and Body Clock for Sound Sleep

Posted on July 12, 2021 by in Aromatherapy and Body Clock for Sound Sleep

Aromatherapy and Body Clock for Sound Sleep
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…………… Sleep is regulated by two body systems: sleep/wake homeostasis and the circadian biological clock. According to the National Institutes of Health, our body clocks regulate our body’s circadian rhythms; the patterns of physical, mental, and

                          Circadian Biological Clock

behavioral changes, including sleep patterns, regulated by body temperature, hormone secretion, and external factors like light and darkness. Our body’s master clock is in a part of the brain’s hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which receives light information from the retina in the eye and sends the information to the parts of the brain, and the gland that releases the sleep hormone, melatonin, which gets suppressed by light. Circadian rhythm causes the level of wakefulness to rise and dip throughout the day. Most people feel the strongest desire to sleep between 1:00pm and 3:00pm (the post-lunch, afternoon nap) and then again between 2:00am and 4:00am, that can vary from person to person.

There are five stages of sleep: stage 1, 2, 3, 4 (Non-REM), and 5 is REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, according to the American Sleep Association (ASA). Over the course of the night, the body will go through this five-stage cycle four to six times, spending an average of 90 minutes in each stage. Stage 1 is considered light sleep, and it is easy to wake someone. Our eye movements stop, and brain waves slow in stage 2. However, stages 3 and 4 are referred to as deep sleep. In REM sleep, the sleeper experiences dreams. Each stage of sleep serves a unique restorative function, including muscle recovery, hormone regulation, and memory consolidation.

According to Chinese medicine, it is not only how much sleep you get that matters, but also at what time do you sleep? In Chinese medicine, energy or qi, moves through the body’s meridians and organs in a 24hour cycle. Every two hours the qi (or energy) is strongest within a particular organ and its functions within the body. A bedtime of 10:30pm (at the latest) is advised so that you are asleep by 11pm when the Liver and Gallbladder start to regulate qi, process emotions, balance hormones and detoxify the body. From 11 PM – 3 AM, the Liver and Gallbladder is active which is most important for maintaining health, especially as we age. Any disharmony in our physical body, is tied to our emotional and mental state.

Aromatherapy is a good way to promote relaxation that can help get your body into a restful state ready for sleep. Aromatherapy is the science and art of using Essential oils to heal the mind, body, and soul. Essential oils are pure, natural, concentrated, volatile, aromatic, liquid extract from different parts of plants. Making specific essential oil (s) aroma a part of bedtime routine, can help train our mind with falling asleep. Not only do essential oils with a sedative property promote sleep, but they can also diminish anxiety, lower blood pressure, and relieve stress that builds up throughout the day. Many people prefer to use essential oils, because they are natural and do not create the common side effects of drowsiness and other health risks associated with many conventional sleep medications. Though, more research is still needed regarding essential oils and sleep, the studies done so far do suggest that using essential oils before bedtime can help alleviate mild to moderate sleep problems. Essential oils can be used in variety of ways; in a diffuser, or can be applied topically mixed in a cream or a carrier oil, or spritzed on, or in a room spray. Following Essential Oils could be used to alleviate insomnia due to stress, depression, headache, fatigue: Cedarwood, Clary sage, Frankincense, Geranium, Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Rose, Sandalwood, Sweet Orange, Valerian, Ylang ylang

Try following these simple steps for bedtime preparation to reset sleep cycle and help fall asleep:
* Set a consistent bedtime routine

* Keeping a set sleep schedule

* Avoid late meals, ideally 2-3 hrs. before bedtime

*Do not exercise close to bedtime, ideally 3-4 hrs. gap

*Schedule 30mts wind down period before sleep:

Dim the light
Read relaxing book
Listen to soothing music

*Avoid alcohol, nicotine, caffeine close to bedtime & early evening to prevent stimulating the body

*For chronic insomnia, consult your medical provider
Sleep Blend: 5ml

Mix 10 drops of Lavender essential Oil and 5 drops of Roman chamomile essential oil in a 5 ml euro glass bottle, top with 5ml sweet almond carrier oil, cap, mix, and label. Massage 6-8 drops onto feet and neck at bedtime.

Diffuser Blend:

Diffuse 3 to 4 drops each of Lavender, Cedarwood, and Orange Essential Oils in a diffuser at night during bedtime. Most diffusers have a timer or automatic shut-off, so you can let it run as you fall asleep without any worries.

Sweet dreams!

Our Thoughts Our Own Creation
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………. No one can choose your thoughts or actions, those are yours alone. We have heard,” Like attracts like,” that is, whatever positive or negative energy we emit, brings about positive or negative results in our life. We often combine our thoughts and feelings and start

       Our Thoughts, Our Creation

visualization to manifest our desire. Every thought, every emotion is our own creation based on our internal and external environment, but there are random life events that is not under our control; the death of loved ones, pandemics, car accidents, natural calamities, families we are born into, etc. So, with divine intelligence and power, we do have choice to generate the thought that we want and stop that we do not want to grant us the power to create the changes we want to design our future. Thoughts also help overcoming complex challenges and teach us to customize our actions to meet the diverse needs of people we interact with.

“Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.” Lao Tzu

Others have expressed similar ideas for centuries. Buddha said, “What you dwell upon you become.” Jesus said, “It is done unto you as you believe.” Indian philosopher and theologian, Adi Shankaracharya said, “Whatever a person’s mind dwells on intensely and with firm resolve, that is exactly what he becomes.” It says in the Talmud, “We do not see things as they are, we see them as we are.” More recent sages like Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “We become what we think about all day long.” Walt Disney said, “If you can dream it you can do it.” Napoleon Hill said, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.” Norman Vincent Peale said, “Change your thoughts and you change your world.”

We create our own destiny. We perceive, we interpret the events in our life and subsequently respond with our thoughts and behavior. We do have potential to change our thoughts through our own consciousness. Scientists have studied that with our brain plasticity we can change the process of our thinking and divert it towards creative positive thinking to increase our

potential. This could be attained with spiritual practice and meditation, which is rapidly becoming accepted practice in technology driven environment. Meditation does not specifically belong to any religion, culture, or spiritual group. The main idea of meditation is to journey from external activity of this fast paced, technical world to our inner calm-peace-silence in the present moment. It helps to see the situation clearly, to ascertain proper observation, interpretation, and to take correct action. Researchers have proved that meditation is a powerful tool to eradicate stress and for maintaining physical, mental, emotional wellbeing. Businesses, organizations like Google, Facebook, Yahoo, PG, HBO are using meditation to improve employee’s happiness, productivity and achieving greater business success. So, the power is in our hands as to how do we perceive the situation, what thoughts do we create, and how do we react? Aromatherapy using Essential Oils is one of the great healers and have been an important part of rituals and meditations for ages in ancient cultures around the world. Essential oil is the therapeutic, natural, concentrated, volatile, liquid extract from different parts of the plant. It can enhance the experience by grounding and promoting a sense of calm to mind, body, and spirit.
