The fresh aroma of citrus is an ideal mood booster and energizer.  “It stimulates the area of the brain that makes us feel alert” says Dr. Alan Hirsch, M.D. the neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment Research Foundation in Chicago.  For a jolt without the jitters, mist your body with grapefruit.  (ed note:  Look for Supernatural Botanicals new body sprays and lotions in grapefruit in October!)

Rosemary is traditionally known as the herb associated with hair.  It has been said that it strengthens the hair and stimulates the scalp, and Rosemary essential oil is also thought to stimulate the mind and lift fatigue. And it makes your hair smell good, too!

Put a few sprigs of fresh rosemary in a heatproof bowl and pour on boiling water.  Allow them to steep and, when cool, take out the Rosemary.  Use as a final rinse to keep hair glossy and sleek .  Rosemary also helps discourage dandruff.  You can put the rest of the infusion into a pretty glass bottle and keep in the fridge, or somewhere out of direct light, for later use. 

Rosemary is easy to grow, and spreads fairly quickly in either container gardening, or in-ground gardening. 

An eco-idea:  Planting mint near a downspout fills your garden with its fresh scent after every rain shower. 

How is psychology connected to your sense of smell?  It’s the first sense that is activated when we are born.  Smell is provocative and deeply connected to our emotional state.  People who lose their sense of smell can even lose their will to live.  Your olfactory system can take your mind to places and situations in the past, recalling events that you’ve tucked away in your psyche.  Take a few minutes each day to stimulate your olfactory system by breathing in wonderful scents, such as citrus (to enliven your mood) or lavender (to evoke a calm mind.) 

Have you tried all natural skincare products only to find they stink?  They literally stink…as in they smell horrible!  For instance, a popular guy up north makes his products from bees (beeswax.)  Beeswax is an excellent all-natural product that protects the skin, and Supernatural Botanicals is a huge advocate of beeswax in our skincare products (our body butters contain beeswax.)  But just because you want to use all natural products doesn’t mean you have to go around smelling like carrots or tomatoes as the bee-keeper up north would have us do. 

You can have the best of both worlds…you can choose all natural products and have them infused with delicious-smelling all natural pure essential oil scents such as Grapefruit, Orange, Pomegranate, Mango, and Coconut.  We promote all natural and aromatherapy at the same time.  There’s no need to shy away from all natural ingredients…because they can be formulated to smell delicious.  For all natural skincare that smells as good as its ingredients are, shop Supernatural Botanicals.  After all, who really wants to walk around smelling like tomatoes and carrots?  Combine the best of ingredients and aromatherapy for a better all natural experience. 

Grapefruit Essential Oils have many therapeutic benefits, one of which is its antidepression properties.  Grapefruit essential oil contains chemical compounds which help to stimulate the production of hormones in the brain, including adrenaline and serotonin, thereby decreasing the symptoms of emotional and physical stress and depression. 

Before calling the doctor, try to alleviate your ailments naturally.  If you are feeling blue, try breathing the fresh scent of Grapefruit Essential Oils to brighten your spirits and stimulate your mind. 

For skincare products containing pure, all-natural Grapefruit Essential Oils, check out Supernatural Botanicals.

Make this a habit!  Hot towels placed on the face and chest are one of the easiest ways to feel ultra relaxed and ultra zen.  This is an easy spa treatment that can be created at home for everyday use.  You can elevate the experience with aromatherapeutic benefits by applying a few drops of essential oil to the towel.  Lavender’s aromatherapy benefits are to calm and relax the mind and body.  A citrus essential oil will produce a cheerful mood and enliven the spirit.

Simply saturate a white hand towel with water.  Wring excess water from the towel.  Place towel in the microwave in 30 second intervals, up to two minutes.  Be sure not to get the towel too hot and burn your skin.  Place several drops of essential oils (optional) directly to hot towel.  The heat will instantly release the essential oil’s therapeutic benefits.  Place hot towels on face, (leave a breathe hold) and upper chest.

Lie down and relax for 10-15 minutes with the towels draping your face and chest.   Feel free to re-microwave your towel(s) if it becomes too cool.

Make deep relaxation with aromatherapy a habit.  It relaxes not only the body, but also the mind.  It’s a perfect way to decompress at the end of the day.  It’s also super beneficial for the skin, opening up pores, allowing the skin to breathe.

This is a great at home spa treatment that can be done every day, and cost you absolutely nothing.  Love that!  Try this today!
