For me, I regularly get migraines brought on by tension. Rolling the Headache Relief on the tense spots in my back/shoulders/neck helps to melt away the tension. Thus, I use my roll-on quite frequently instead of aspirin. For things like sinus headaches and headaches brought on by illness, it really doesn't do a whole lot. I think calling it "Tension Relief" would be a more appropriate name. Try using it on tense spots...if you still aren't seeing any results, bring it back to your local BBW store and they'll give you a refund or exchange. BBW has a 100% guarantee on everything they sell...you're never stuck with anything. Good luck! :] It really depends on the cause of your headache.

]]> Comment on In aromatherapy, what is the difference between an essential oil and an absolute? by spa_wellness http://www.healwitharoma.com/in-aromatherapy-what-is-the-difference-between-an-essential-oil-and-an-absolute/#comment-1176 spa_wellness Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:50:44 +0000 http://www.healwitharoma.com/in-aromatherapy-what-is-the-difference-between-an-essential-oil-and-an-absolute/#comment-1176 What are Absolutes? Like their essential oil counterparts, absolutes are highly aromatic liquids extracted from plants. Absolutes, however, are extracted in a complex manner that requires the use of chemical solvents that are later removed during the final stages of production. Sometimes, the hot steam or water used to distill an essential oil does not extract much natural oil from the plant or harms the precious natural oil. The solvent extraction methods are often used in these cases. As a rule, absolutes are more concentrated than their essential oil cousins. Where it is true that a little essential oil goes a long way, a little absolute goes an even longer way. A very trace amount of solvent can remain in the final absolute. This indeed is a disadvantage to using absolutes as aromatherapy focuses on the use of pure and natural plant matter. Although the amount of remaining solvent is minimal, absolutes are used in true aromatherapy with care, respect and knowledge. Essential oils should never be taken internally by anyone that is not trained, educated and experienced at doing so. Absolutes should never be taken internally by anyone because of that small amount of trace solvent that may remain. What are Absolutes?

Aromatherapy uses essential oils extracted from nature’s herbs and flowers. The aroma is inhaled, or applied to the skin, and each of the oils (or combination thereof) addresses a specific disorder. It appears that the body is able to utilize the healing properties of the oils through the olfactory system of the body, and so initiate the healing process. Aromatherapy practitioners would also have an understanding of the psychological and emotional factors of illness. This website has some great information and articles about Aromatherapy.

Not just as a relaxant "like music", but in many other ways. Stress relief, insomnia, lack of focus, headaches, sinusitis, muscle aches, and cleaning are just a few things it can help with. Almost any affliction can be helped with aromatherapy, although for more serious ones, aromatherapy should be used in conjunction with synthetic medicine. Essential oils must be used in order for it to be truly considered aromatherapy. Fragrance oils, scented candles, and body lotion are not aromatherapy, even if they claim it on their label.

Please do not support this person. He is a business man, a shady one at that, not an aromatherapist. He suggests some awfully unsafe practices, and he gives all aromatherapists a bad name.

Combine the aromatherapy with soothing music soft lights and a comfortable chair. Not a bed or you may fall asleep. Yes they really do work but the effect is minimal.

To get pure essential oils, usually they need to be ordered separately and assembled into a kit since the price varies so much for different types of pure essential oils. Pure frankincense, sandalwood, and rose oils are especially expensive. Lavendar oil and orange oils are less expensive. Aura cacia and Original Swiss aromatics are good brands for pure essential oils, but they do not produce kits. If you are just looking for aromatherapy gift sets that include fragrance oils, not necessarily pure essential oils, they are much easier to find, almost anywhere that sells spa or bath & body products.
