Lavender Aromatherapy Oil

Lavender Aromatherapy Oil

Can you help me with my aromatherapy question?

I’m doing an experiment with oils. I’m looking at oils that might help one to relax in stressful situations.

So I’m asking for your help.
1. Mention an oil that is relaxing BESIDES LAVENDER, I’ve done research on it and people already know it’s relaxing. Also, don’t mention ROSEMARY or LEMON. Research has shown that those scents are alerting.
2. The source telling us that suggests it may be relaxing
3. A product that projects the smell.

Get a really good book on essential oils and read it in detail. Rosemary for example has contraindications for hypertension, pregnancy, epilepsy, etc…

If you are in doubt about your research from more than one source seek the counsel of a certified aromatherapist who has years of experience working with essential oils. Never apply an oil to someone without doing a skin allergy test first, but only after reviewing all of the known guidelines and cautions first.

How to Use Lavender Essential Oil as an Effective Treatment for Burns

It is known by aromatherapists that the benefits of using lavender essential oil for many physical issues are well documented. Anyone who has walked into a room full of lavender is quickly relaxed by its incredible aroma, and soothing effects. Lavender mixes well with other pure oils, so it has a number of uses, but we tend to forget how effective it can be due to dependence upon conventional preparations.

A great many of the natural preparations used to comfort burns have lavender oil in their formula. Lavender and burns have a long history, but often our conditioning prevents us from relying upon this essential oil to ease the pain of sunburn and non-severe burns.

The French chemist Rene Maurice Gattefosse realized the effects of lavender oil when he experienced a personal injury in the early 1900s. Gattefosse burned his hand during an lab experiment, and then immediately stuck his hand in a drum of lavender oil, which he was working with for another process. His burns responded to the oil within minutes and the pain subsided. The burns on his hand healed faster, and there was no long term scarring. Of course Gattefosse’s burns were probably first degree, which means only the outer part of his skin was affected.

Second degree burns often require medical treatment due to blistering and damage to the deeper layers of skin, so common sense and good judgment take precedence in second degree burn situations. For more serious burns medical attention is recommended.

If the burns are thought to be first or mild second degree burns, lavender oil should work wonders if it is applied quickly. The best protocol to treat a burn injury starts with washing the burn under tepid water and then applying a cool compress soaked with several drops of lavender oil. Never use ice on burns. Ice will only create more pain for an already wounded, as well as tender and fragile area. One of the greatest benefits of using the oil of lavender for a burn is its ability reduce blisters, as well as scaring, as it fights infections, which is a potential concern when the skin is badly burned.

Most physicians agree; large burns require special attention, but if you’re in pain from a first season sunburn, you can mist your skin with lavender water. If some areas have painful burns, apply a lavender oil soaked gauze on the area, and then replace the gauze every few hours. When lavender is blended with aloe gel or aloe juice the healing benefits of both of these natural botanicals work together to heal the skin faster.

Kitchen burns from hot pans or steam can be very unpleasant, but following the prescribed first aide protocol of applying cool water, and then applying a few drops of the lavender essential oil to a piece cloth or gauze works well in a very short period of time. Even radiation burns can be treated with lavender, but the degree of the burns must be evaluated before a treatment process can be given.

Description

The Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans considered Rosemary sacred. The leaves were traditionally burned in hospitals to purify the air, and the oil has a similar effect on the body. Its strong, clear, refreshing herbal scent is both clarifying and invigorating. Rosemary oil can be an effective treatment for mental fatigue, circulation problems, as a pain reliever for the muscular system, and as support for the circulatory system. It aids in prevention of mental exhaustion, stress and stimulates circulation to skin and scalp, providing great toning and astringent properties. It also stimulates hair follicles. Rosemary oil has a pronounced action on the brain, clearing the mind and aids the memory. It also helps with headaches and migraines. Aromatherapists use it to relieve suffering from poor circulation, muscle aches, rheumatic joint pains, water retention, cellulite, respiratory problems, colds, and flu. It is believed to act as a nerve tonic, energizing the central nervous system.
