Essential Oils
I have a new obsession, Essential Oils. I got these (for my fellow Swedes, it's from Ã…hlens) from my husband for Valentine's Day since i had recently gotten a diffuser (unfortunately it was from eBay, a cheap one, that broke after one day, grr) and wanted to start diffusing essential oils, for two reasons basicaly.
First of, for the scent that fills the entire room. We usually light candles before we go to bed, so that when we enter the room to lay down for the night, it has a nice and relaxing scent. Second reason is, aromatherapy. That basicaly means "therapy" through "aroma"/"scent" that can affect your emotional state. So for night i can diffuse scents that are calming, such as Lavendel, if i just want to feel "happy" i can diffuse Peppermint etc. I do belive that scent can affect ones emotional state. They can also be used when having/giving a massage etc.
Since my "new" diffuser broke, and i'm looking at getting a new one, i've just been applying some drops of the essential oils on our pillow cases and it truly helps. The rooms smells amazing and when you hug the pillow, the smell just calms your mind.
So, i can truly recommend this, even if you don't believe in the "therapy"/"medical" perspective of this. You really don't have anything to loose, right? :)
Smell you later! ;)
