Finding Safe
and Effective Aromatherapy
Jewelry
If you have found the benefits of
aromatherapy, and you would like to take your treatments with
you as you go about your day, the solution may be to purchase a
few pieces of aromatherapy jewelry that will offer you
relaxation or invigoration on the go. There are many retailers
who sell aromatherapy jewelry, both in stores and on the
Internet, so you will not be lacking in selection. However,
there are some important guidelines to keep in mind as you shop
for your jewelry pieces so that you end up with accessories
that are safe and effective as well as
beautiful.
One of the most popular styles of
aromatherapy jewelry is to hang an amphora or an essendulum on
a chain for a necklace. These attractive pendants come in a
variety of designs and colors, so that you can coordinate your
aromatherapy with your wardrobe. The pendants are actually
miniature vials that house the aromatherapy oils of your
choice, giving you a whiff of your therapeutic scent throughout
your day, no matter where you are.
Other popular choices in aromatherapy jewelry
are bracelets and rings that will give you smaller doses of
your scents, but can be a fashionable alternative to carry your
oils with you as you go from work to
play.
History
and Safety
Aromatherapy jewelry has been worn for
generations, particularly by cultures like the Native Americans
and Hispanic communities where the aromatherapy jewelry was
worn to add fragrance to the body and ward off evil spirits.
Today’s jewelry pieces may be slightly more refined and updated
than those worn by past cultures, but they offer the same
benefits as those used previously.
Because the times have changed however, it is
important to exercise some steps and precautions to ensure that
your jewelry is safe as well as beneficial. First, always fill
your vials in your jewelry with oil that is at room temperature
to prevent burning of the skin that the piece will touch. It is
also a good idea to use a carrier oil to subdue the scent and
diffuse the aroma in a more gradual manner.
Keep in mind that your aromatherapy jewelry
will need to be refilled often, since the small portion of
scent will diffuse rather quickly. To avoid having to fill more
often than necessary, select oil with a potent aroma that will
have a tendency to linger longer. If you blend your oil
properly with a carrier like baby oil, you will not need to
worry about the scent becoming overpowering. Once you fill your
jewelry piece, let it set for a few minutes to ensure that it
has cooled down properly before you put it
on.
Aromatherapy jewelry will offer you an
aromatherapy treatment at any time of the day, no matter where
you are. Check stores and the Internet to find your favorite
pieces of aromatherapy jewelry today.
