Aromatherapy & Candles

Their Color Properties: Fragrant Candles. Choose which essential oil to use not
only for its fragrance but for its other effects Use relaxing essential oils for that
special evening for two, stimulating ones to get the conversation going during the
pre-dinner drinks, and soothing ones with the after dinner brandy. Later still you
may want to bring out the aromatic candles. All the essential oil candles have a
very subtle effect and are not overpowering like the chemical candle fragrances.
The ultimate in hostess attentiveness must be coordinating the fragrance of your
candles with the color of your candles and decor. Try putting a relaxing candle
next to the person who always hogs the conversation and a stimulating one next
to the introverted guest.

penetrating smell of Basil is helpful in combating mental fatigue while increasing concentration and
improving memory. Basil promotes a feeling of renewed vitality and decisiveness. It encourages us to take
action rather than react to challenges.
Basil is unique as it sharpens the mind while steadying the emotions. It helps to calm while elevating the
spirits. I find it useful during periods of stress or sadness. For those of you with insomnia due to anxiety
with persistent unwanted thoughts, Basil combined with Lavender will help to clear the mind encouraging
restful sleep. Useful in massage in LOW doses to strengthen and tone the muscles while invigorating the
mind

The sweet, herbaceous, light scent of Basil is distilled from the flowering tops and leaves of the herb native
to tropical Asia. This basil is quite different, not as pungent as the other two, but rather sweet, spicy and
round, with notes that are even reminiscent of Clove/Cocoa.
Basil has been used as a sacred herb in India and Europe for many centuries. It was said to strengthen
faith, compassion and mental clarity.It is planted around doorways to keep evil spirits away. It is also
commonly planted around temples. The botanical name “Ocimum” may come from the Greek “to smell”.

enhancing self-expression.

A camphorus, woody and sweet oil that is steam distilled from the leaves of the

eliminates therapeutically important minor constituents. Rectified oil is
decongesting but it is harsh on the bronchial muscles, sometimes causing
constriction.Our Eucalyptus is not medicinal smelling at all and is much softer
than others on the market.
The unrectified Eucalyptus Globulus has a softer,nicer scent and is
therapeutically superior to the industrially produced rectified oil. Unlike the
rectified Eucalyptus, this oil relaxes the bronchial muscles. Diffuse this
refreshing, stimulating oil to reduce the swelling of mucus membranes, loosen
phlegm, and ease breathing. It also will kill airborne germs and viruses to help
reduce the spread of flues and infections. Wonderful for protection during the
winter months. Diffused for two hours a day will keep colds and flu away.

respiratory tract. It is highly effective when used with Ravansara aromatica,
against colds, flu and sinusitis.A refreshing camphorus oil with a scent that is
lighter than Eucalyptus Globulus. Patricia Davis says this is the most useful
Eucalyptus as it has a pleasant smell and is easily assimilated. It has many of the
same uses as Eucalyptus Globulus but it is milder in its chemical composition
and gentler in action. Despite its mild chemical composition, it is highly anti-
bacterial and anti-viral. Eucalyptus Radiata has been proven effective in
laboratory tests against many viruses, including staphylococci. It is also a
powerful decongestant: in chronic and acute bronchitis it reduces the swelling of
mucus membranes, loosens phlegm and increases the oxygen supply to
restricted cells.
