The Olfactory Connection
Our sense of smell has a unique memory. We often associate pleasant smells with warm memories and the opposite is true. Choosing aromatherapy oils that invigorate and inspire such as Citrus, Peppermint or Bergamot are ideal when you need a boost of energy. Relaxing, calming fragrances including Lavender and Ylang, Ylang and Jasmine are wonderful when you are seeking something soothing for the bath or an aromatherapy massage. Blending two or more essential oils together creates and entirely different vibe. Once you establish your favourite fragrances and blends, you will be excited to share them with your clients.
Endless Potential For Your Spa Practice
Educating yourself on the myriad of blending possibilities is exciting. Certain oils including Lemon oil, Orange oil and Tea Tree offer antimicrobial qualities ideal for creating your own spray bottle cleaning solutions. If you are tired of using commercial cleaners in your home or spa, these blends are an excellent and effective alternative. Certain oils including Peppermint work well to stimulate circulation and are wonderful for clients who suffer from cold hands and feet. You will be capable of creating a plethora of custom blends including: scalp massage oil blends, body oil blends and moisturising treatments. Many spas integrate aromatherapy into their hand and nail treatments, manicures and pedicures. Once you begin working with essential oils, the creative floodgates of potential will be wide open.
