I once wrote about scents for women, where I mentioned that the best perfumes are the ones made of natural essential oils versus regular market perfumes made with alcohol. Today I would like to share a little more detais about each fragrance and add a few more on top.
Ayurvedic Gift
Each fragrance has its own quality not only on a level of a scent, but also on a level of its influence on us. That is a subtle psycho-emotional effect that they have – affecting our mood, sleep, physical and mental performance. In Ayurveda this part of healing is called aromatherapy, and it has a significant, although supplementary, role in the healing process.
The main ways of using them are very simple: adding in a form of essential oils to a massage oil, massaging specific points of the body with essential oils, inhaling them, adding them to food or drinks (note: please add only edible ones), adding them to diffusers to fragrance your space, or burning incenses.
Here are some wonderful fragrances that can be used in a variety of situations in life of a woman.
Rose
One of the best floral fragrances for women. Rose is not only very pleasantly fragrant but also very healing for the heart. It is in fact the flower of the heart. Fragrance of the rose is calming and cooling to a mind and nervous system. It takes away headaches and fatigue. Rose increases the sense of love and compassion. It is incredibly nurturing for the whole female reproductive system. It can also cleanse and cool down strained eyes, for which rose water is excellent. Rose is used for sublimation of energy too, by turning negativity to something positive: anger to joy, sadness to happiness.
Sandalwood
Sandalwood scent is also very calming and soothing for the mind. It creates the sense of satisfaction and pleasure, improves the mood and enhances creativity. It is a very good fragrance to use during meditations, that can be used either as an incense or as an oil. Sandalwood also nourishes the heart, soothes lungs, strengthens the intellect, improves immune system and cleanses kidneys.
