Aromatherapy for the Female
Evelyn Lim
As a female, you undergo several changes to your body as you age. Your
hormones turn topsy turvey during pregnancy, childbirth, and
subsequently menopause. Because of hormonal changes, you not only
experience physical effects but also emotional ones.
There are many over the counter treatments, fad diets, exercise gadgets
and prescription drugs that promise to help shed the pounds, tone the
body, prevent wrinkles, remove the effects of hormonal imbalance or
speed up the production of estrogen. However, as you well know, it is
impossible to turn back the hands of time and your aging process.
The most important thing that you can do, as you age, is take good care
of yourself and health. By living a life that is as stress free as
possible and consuming a diet of wholesome rich organic foods, and by
using the essential oils of herbs and plants you can treat many of the
symptoms that appear before they become settled and evident in your
life and appearance.
One of the most important aspects to maintaining your physical beauty
and health is to detoxify the body of impurities regularly. Toxins will
rob you of your beauty and slow down the ability of your body to
regenerate itself and maintain its optimum level of health and beauty.
One sign that you may need to cleanse your body, even if you have
achieved your desired weight, is by the appearance of cellulite.
Cellulite is dimpled areas of collections of fat that lay underneath
the skin. These spots usually collect around the hips, buttocks, and
upper thighs. They have a strong resemblance to cottage cheese and
clearly, you will want to get rid of cellulite in order to fit into a
bikini or bicycle shorts.
Aromatherapy offers many plants and herbs that have excellent results
in removing cellulite. Three of the most powerful herbs used to rid
toxins and cellulite include Juniper, Grapefruit, and Fennel. A
wonderful way to use these herbs is to make massage oil out of the
essential oils and adding them to carrier oil. You can massage the oil
directly onto the problem areas daily for maximum benefit. You can also
drink a tea or herbal infusion made from these beneficial herbs.
In addition, you can also use inhale some aromatherapy scent for
stabilizing your mood. At the scent level, aromatherapy activates the
limbic system and emotional centers of the brain. Lavender and
eucalyptus can make a wonderful choice in aiding sleep and reducing
anxiety.
Before using aromatherapy, it is always best to consult with a
qualified therapist on how to mix the herbs or for edible teas or
infusions. Always remember to read labels and safety instructions of
essential oils before using them.
Aromatherapy is a wonderful weapon to combat stress, fatigue and poor
immune system. It holds the key to improving your skin, hair, and
overall health and wellness. With the help of aromatherapy, while you
may not be able to turn back the clock, you can still look younger than
your age as well as go through menopause gracefully.
