Combat Office Stress with Aromatherapy - the Power of Essential Oils
Monday September 1, 2008
Aromatherapy is not a new science or a new fad. Humans have been using the essences of plant (and even a few animal) oils for thousands of years. But over the past few decades, there has been an increased interest in the use of aromatic herbs and oils - to improve your mood, to treat common ailments, and make your life better. And it's not just happening in the United States. Aromatherapy is gaining popularity all over the world - as is evidenced by the article "Combat Office Stress with Aromatherapy" from the Times of India. It talks about a "convenient and faster way of combating stress at the work place" - aromatherapy, and gives several really good suggestions of how to use essential oils at the office. The same basic suggestions can be used in your soap making or candles, or in other bath and body products, too. If you want more information about essential oils, check out Best Essential Oil Books for Soap and Candle Making, and also remember, that just because it's natural, doesn't mean it's safe. Be sure you understand the Basics of Essential Oil Safety.

Hi there
Thanks for the article. I just wanted to add that it is really necessary for people to know not only how good aromatherapy really is, but also the warnings/contraindications and dilution rates so that they can use essential oil safely and effectively.
Thanks again for a great article
