HOW CAN YOU UTILIZE THE SCENT YOU CHOOSE? You can apply HERBAN AVENUES
Scents ($11.95/vial) in two
ways: Inhale the vapors of a pure essential oil released by an HERBAN
AVENUES AROMA
Diffuser ($14.95) or
Eye Pillows ($15.95) or let
the plant oils enter through your skin by soaking with them in a warm tub.
Or use an HERBAL SKINCARE product (i.e. massage or bath oil).
"I believe there is a subtle magnetism in nature that if we unconsciously
yield to it will direct us aright." - Henry David Thoreau
Aromatherapy -
Fact or Fiction?
The idea that you can smell something that will make you feel a certain way
is ridiculous to many. Partly because our olfactory systems have been
impaired by pollutants, allergies, and over-fragranced products. We have
also been "conned" into buying "Natural", "Botanical" products that contain
chemical preservatives & synthetic fragrances. With these, the aromatherapy
benefits are lost in translation. At HERBAN AVENUES, aromatherapy is the
icing on the herbal cake, so to speak. A "cake" that is made from nothing
but the most wholesome, skin-loving ingredients.
Remember the aromatherapeutic benefits may not be felt in a "mood
altering" way. The effects are many and subtle. For instance, lavender does
more than calm stress. It is known to be antibacterial, anti-fungal,
anti-viral in action. It is helpful for anxiety/depression, and is even a
natural bug repellent.
The aroma of pure plant essences can calm or stimulate, trigger pleasant
memories, increase mental clarity, induce sleep and more!
Enjoy them in the bath tub (12 drops), in a plain votive candle
(3 drops), in an aroma diffuser (6 drops), or massage oil (2
drops per Tbsp of oil). These can also be blended with jojoba oil to
make an unforgettable and original perfume.
*Pregnant women should avoid products containing
concentrated amounts of essential oils.
