New Year, New You !

Well can you believe it’s 2010 ?  Already another decade has passed and what a lot has changed.  The most important change, I believe, of the last 10 years is the environmental issue, with more and more people recycling, re-using and trying to use more natural products. 

 Fortunately, consumer pressure is making the large corporations offer environmentally friendly alternatives, and they are also looking at changing their packaging, ingredients and where they source their products from.  Even a little bit helps in the big scheme of things.

   The New Year is always a time when people look at making a change in their lives and now is the time to look around to see how you can help yourself and family to have a healthier lifestyle.

There are many simple changes which can be made using aromatherapy oils which include some of the following:-

Look for skin and hair products with less synthetic ingredients.

Make your own lotions and potions for skincare using all natural ingredients.  It’s easier than you think and can be great fun to do !

Try to use natural aromas from essential oils in the house as air fresheners.  This can enhance the mood as well as keeping nasty chemicals out of the house.  Some essential oils will also have antibacterial and anti-viral properties to helps with colds and flu.

Use some natural essential oils as household cleaners, Lemon and Lavender essential oil have antibacterial and antimicrobial properties and they will leave a lovely fresh aroma too.  Just add a few drops of essential oil to a bowl of warm water and use a sponge or cloth to wipe the surface area.

 Even using a new oil for your face and skin.  Something like Rosehip oil has amazing skin regenerating properties and can help heal scars and stretch marks.  Many people are already using this with fantatic results and the best news is, it’s 100% natural.  Just make sure you buy and oil which is Organic, unrefined and from Chile for the best possible quality. 

The list is endless and these are just a few ideas of how to use aromatherapy oils to help you lead a healthier lifestyle.
