Dianaji - Aroma therapy
Dianaji
We (finally) helped you. Gave you the kind of help google doesn’t have. Well, now it’s your turn so don’t just point to some clever link. Please tell
us your personal take on things.
Since you’re a part of a group, plan to manufacture aromas for therapy, please tell us about Aroma Therapy and how it could help Nomads.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who is curious about it. What kinds of odor therapies are there? Are there organic smell therapies and synthetic kinds
as well? Could a person use household ambiance aromaticizers like Renuzit and others for mood enhancement? How about candles? Scented body lotion?
Are we being bombarded by bad odors that harm our chances for happy days in the kitchen, the bath, the bodega? Could it be that some of us need a lot
of therapy while others have been almost continually blessed with soothing aromatic surroundings that we just don’t know about and appreciate?
Are there lists of smells according to psychological benefits? Are there smells that might make one grumpy, apprehensive, sensuously alert, bored,
stimulated, angry?
Since we might even be future clients, please share with us any kinds of specialty smells you’ll be working on after you buy those gallons of
Everclear and get to mixing.

Aromatherapy is the practice of using volatile plant oils, including essential oils, for psychological and physical well-being.
Essential oils, the pure essence of a plant, have been found to provide both psychological and physical benefits when used correctly and safely. The
Essential Oil Profiles area details over 90 essential oils. Absolutes, CO2s and Hydrosols are also commonly utilized in aromatherapy. Although
essential oils, CO2 extracts and absolutes are distilled by different methods, the term essential oil is sometimes used as a blanket term to include
all natural, aromatic, volatile, plant oils including CO2s and absolutes.
In addition to essential oils, aromatherapy encourages the use of other complementary natural ingredients including cold pressed vegetable oils,
jojoba (a liquid wax), hydrosols, herbs, milk powders, sea salts, sugars (an exfoliant), clays and muds.

I follow the sign of the double-humped sperm whale.
Getting back to business. I read an article about the anti-microbial benefits of herbs and spices. Plants generate their oil compounds to protect
themselves from phytopathogens, viruses and bacteria in nature.
These translate to protecting food and healing wounds. They are developing vegetable-based edible films to place over your food to prevent spoilage.
Some interesting stuff.

Make mine Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Italy, Spain or Greece.
The others mentioned here make me sneeze.

Flyguy, don't want to pry but if you suffered from multiple personality disorders would they employ mixtures? For example: Big Mac/fried Okra or
tincture of Bluebonnets/acetone.

Would giving your bedmate a "dutch oven" qualify as a form of Aroma Therapy?

I know nothing about aroma therapy but I have observed that nothing brings back a memory like a scent. Every time I smell lilacs I think of my first
girlfriend.

Big O,
Met a few Multiples in my time. One needed different eye glasses for different personalities. Can be expensive.
I think any of your concoctions would drive anyone around the bend.

"can u share some of what u have found?"
Eue de Acapulco (Gold), Alto de Afghani, Maui Zowie Secret Scent, Herb de Oregon (hint of Oregano), Berzerkely Banana (sweet hint of tropical fruit)
Lavender makes me sneeze. Eucalyptis makes me wheeze. Some of those other herbs drop me to my knees.
So if its scents you need I would strongly recommend the common weed.
