Last week, together with my editor Özlem Akalan, we participated in the aromatherapy workshop of Florame, a 20-year aromatherapy and organic cosmetics brand.
We have learned that the essential oils used in aromatherapy, which means applying essential oils with various methods for physical, emotional, mental health and beauty, have very bad imitations on the market. Because if we think that 1 kilogram of oil is obtained from thousands of tons of raw material, there is no possibility that the products sold in bottles of 10 milliliters will be very cheap. You need to be careful about it. I guess this type of oil makes the most sense to buy from pharmacies. Because imitation of this type of oil as well as smelling of the body is harmful to health. When buying, you need to pay attention to the absence of chemicals. It is even better to choose organic ones, but don't forget to check the certificates when you buy organic oils.
HOW DO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NATURAL?
How do we know if an essential oil is natural oil? Let me pass on your technique. Drip one or two drops on a paper napkin. If there is no stain after 15-20 minutes, it is natural oil. However, it is not stained. It's called essential oil.
Nimet Özata, a pharmacist interested in aromatherapy for many years, gave the training at the workshop. Traditionally, the most important uses of aromatic plants are prevention of germs spread, odor healing, cosmetics and skin care. These areas of use are still valid today, Özata said, explaining the ways of using aromatherapy: 'Massage, compresses, mist and can be used through the bathroom as well as fragrance lamps can be applied.'
When it comes to the points to be considered about essential oils ... Essential oils, because they are very effective when used directly damages the skin, so it should be diluted with carrier oils such as almond and sesame. Bergamut, grapefruit, lemon, orange, citrus and angelica oils should not be used in the sun and during the solarium. You should also use hepatitis, epilepsy, cancer, Parkinson's and allergy sufferers in consultation with your doctor.
LAVANTA EVERY HOUSE
I am learning that lavender oil, which has a calming effect and is good for insomnia, headache and high blood pressure, should be kept in the bag even at home. Here is a recipe for people with migraine like me: 10 milliliters of lavender essential oil, 25 milliliters of almonds with a carrier oil such as temples and nuchal massages can be applied.
In addition, a few drops of lavender essential oil dripped on the pillow helps sleep.
In contrast to lavender, rosemary oil has a revitalizing and stimulating circulation system. It's also good for sprains and muscle fatigue. Cold drops prepared by dropping 4-5 drops of rosemary essential oil, when applied on sprains, relieves weights and reduces skewers. In addition, 1 milliliters of rosemary oil, 25 milliliters of almond oil diluted, aching joints and muscles, hair to strengthen the scalp and headaches can be applied to temples.
