Aromatherapy Stinks
You may recall, awhile ago, I bought some eucalyptus oil to use in the sauna at the gym. I thought I might give aromatherapy a try at home too, to see if there's any claim to the hype. I ordered an oil diffuser, which is simply a small adobe lantern that holds a couple ounces of water and oil in the top, and a tea light candle below. There are dozens of essential oils, but the key is to find the right blend of essential oils that supposedly evoke different feelings and emotions. I ordered several samples from a mail order essential oil company, and I have to say, they are all junk. The blends I ordered were named Calming, Relaxing, Refreshing, Take 5, etc. Mostly, they are weird smells, nothing that I would choose to have in my house. So, I may just stick to standard essential oils, such as Sweet Orange, Lavender, Lemon, Cinnamon, etc. At least those are smells that I can tolerate, but the oil blends have to go.
