Ayurvedic oils are numerous.  Some them are listed below and can be of use in many areas. There is nothing worse than suffering from pain, whether it is a low pain threshold that you can stand or sharper pain that can make you body feel as though it is under attack.  Here are just a few:

•    Menthol and Karpura
•    Seasum Oil and Krishna Marich (pepper)
•    Cinnamon and Shudda Guggulu
•    Rasna and Shubthi
•    Winter cherry and errand

Herbal Remedies that can help with pain in the joints are in great demand and Arthcare can help with rheumatic conditions and arthritis as it is anti-bacterial and an antioxidant. The oil is massaged all over the body, which helps the tissues to be strong and removes the stiffness of the body to allow the limbs to relax and move freely. It is also an aid to the neuromuscular system and the skeletal structure as it is so powerful it can enter the skin very quickly.

These oils are all names under the umbrella of Sandalwood, a rich and sweet aroma that reminds  you of your granddad smoking a pipe and settled in for a long winters evening. It has been known to be used as an aphrodisiac and as pleasant tool to aid meditation.

Both the Indian and Sri Lankan oils have specific differences although both are effective to use as a tonic to build up the immune system in the physical body and also balance the skin whether it is dry or oily.  They are especially good if you are a man and suffer with tender skin from shaving. It can be useful in relaxation, lifts depression and is well known as a balancing oil.

Sandalwood, if being used as part of a collection of Home Remedies , will surprise the person using it for the first time as the liquid is thick and can take time to come out of the bottle.  Unless you are very patient it may be useful to use a pipette. If stored correctly it will improve with age but if you have a favourite oil then stock up as it is becoming scarce, and the prices are soaring due to the aromatherapy oil becoming so popular.

Most popular sandalwood essential oils are from India and Sri Lanka although there are also Australian Aromatherapy Oils on the market but these may not have as strong an aroma (Santal Spicatum).

There are new sandalwood essential oils coming in from different countries that will enhance the scents once they have aged.  Sandalwood is known to be one of the Herbal Remedies that blends with almost every thing, including Atlas, Cedar wood , Enrol, vanilla and many more.

The Bergamot oil is taken from a tree that can grow to four metres high and can be found in south East Asia.  However, it was Italy that made the essential oil well known as the town of Bergamo was the first to sell the oil.

The scent of the oil is basically citrus, yet fruity and sweet, with a warm spicy floral quality and is reminiscent of neroli as well as lavender oil. The colour ranges in shades of green and flavours Earl Grey tea.
The aromatherapy oil is used to create a more relaxed atmosphere and relieves urinary infections, looking after the main organs including the liver and spleen.  It can be multi functional as it is useful in fighting sensitive skin infections like eczema, acne and psoriasis and also cold sores.

There are therapeutic uses with this Aromatherapy oil as it is an antiseptic, digestive, febrifuge, analgesic, and deodorant. However, there are certain precautions required as it can burn the skin if it is sensitive and therefore advisable that you keep out of the sun if using it on your skin.

The rose essential oil, or Rosa Damscena to give it its correct name, is one of the most popular and can be one of the most expensive aromatherapy essential oils.

The Arabics first distilled the aromatherapy oil and the Romans and Egyptians all loved the oil and put it to good use in medicines, perfumes and cosmetics.

The first race of people to make fragrant pomades in the shape of cones was the Egyptians, who placed them on their heads, and they would melt with the heat from their bodies making them smell nice.  The Romans featured flowered pomanders in their gardens and would have petals on the floors of their banqueting halls in an attempt to produce a calming effect on people.

However, the rose is the flower that is used in weddings and for romance and is well known as the most romantic flower for the pursuit of love.  Beauty cosmetics, soaps and perfumes with the essential oil as an ingredient are now available all over the world.

The ‘rose’ aromatherapy oil is anti-viral and can be used to help with depression, dry skin and helps with wounds, sprains, insomnia and for the chocolate lover it is also used in Turkish delight.

Seaweed is an essential oil that smells a little bit like cedar wood but is an essential oil in its own right. The oil is distilled from ‘lamindaria digitata’  or kelp as we know it. However the seaweed that is sold in tablet form over the counter is a totally different source of ‘kelp’.

When the aromatherapy oil is used by a Herbalist or an Aromatherapist, they will often blend the oil to use on the skin as arthritis massage oil, but the oil can be blended as an essential oil cream to be used for detoxifying and even water retention. Therapists say they are reminded of being in a seaside town when using the oil and you can smell the salt in the air as if you were standing at the seawaters edge.

The use of seaweed, both as a dried plant or fresh, can look after water retention problems by draining the fluid and increase the circulation allowing the skin to open up and supply the nutrients the body requires. This in turn will speed up ones metabolism and allow the lymphatic system to push the fluid through the body therefore eliminating toxins and also helping with the tangerine looking  lumpy bits of cellulite areas of the body, thus allowing the skin to glow.

When we have children we make a promise to ourselves that we will look after them and make sure they learn from our mistakes.

There are different aromatherapy oil burners available for you choose from, depending on the décor of your room.

Aromatherapy oils can be used as Home Remedies in different ways and one of them is by using the oils in an oil burner which sends out the aroma of the essential oils to the area of the room that you place it in. The essential oil is placed on a small pad that soaks in the oil drops and the dispenser or oil burner can sit on a plate being warmed by an electric coil which will make the aromatherapy oil evaporate without having to use water.

Electric oil burners are available as a clean way to use and be safe by using the undiluted essential oils which can relieve stress and depending on the oils you choose can also have calming effect especially after a hard days work. Other oil burners can be bought to use outside with small candles inside them or the small tea candles, which are ideal for parties and other outside entertaining but be aware this can be dangerous as the candles have a naked flame.

Areas of muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons are helped with treatment by having a firmer massage as it removes the amount of toxic build up that can cause physical problems as arthritis, sciatica and rheumatism.

Other trained therapists work in a calmer way which can reduce emotional feelings that may have been hidden in the mind since childhood or later in life causing an emotional blockage.

Large businesses have now started to offer their office workers one of the most popular massages which is the head and shoulder massage.
