diff pple have diff reactions to these stuff..some are okie, some are v sensitive to it. since if u think ur nose bleeding is due to e usage of aromatherapy then avoid it.
the trick of using essential oil is: using the correct amt. essential oils are v concentrated, therfore use it minimally. some are used for massages, bathing, spas (friendly for skin) others are for heating, or even ingestions. be careful on which type to use for which purpose. (eg u cant ingest those for burners) one warning is that PURE essential oils are v difficult to get. most of wat we see are artificial fragrances.
the duration of use depends on individuals. that fann wong documentary says ten mins. but you have to take into consideration of the concentration of the essential oil. if its very concentrated, then a lil goes a long way.
others recommend not more than 40mins. tis is becos the oil quality will change, hence giving off byproducts rather than e essential oil.
if you feel discomfort, then shortern e duration or the amt of essential oil used in e burner. stop using it altogether when you feel dizzy or nauseaus. drink more liquids.
throw away essential oils tat are 3-6mths old or when they change colour. they are v voliatile liquids and react to sunlight (UV) v easily. therefore to make its self life longer, store it in the dark.
burners - use it only carefully. esp those which uses the tea light candles. this is becos they give off carbon dioxide (CO) which is a odorless and colourless gas. therefore its hard to detect. this is a poisonous gas. use it in a ventilated room. tis is y some pple prefer to use electrical burners as it doesnt give off CO and parafin (from wax burning)
those from MLM, eg Bel-r and Lampe Berger shld b quite safe to use as they are considered high end products and have insurances and certificates to proof that e product is safe for useage. however, there are many imitations around. so have to look out for these real looking fakes.
these burners also actually help to ionize the air around and does not use up oxygen. therefore a better choice compared to those you can see on ordinary shops.
personally i use e product from Lampe Berger. (yes i know there are taboos) but it works for me. helps in bodily healing.
Rose essential oil:i no longer suffer from menstrual cramps, improved skin texture
Eucalyptus: stopped my itchy throat which comes w e dry cough immediately (no cough syrup helped), breathing was much better
Lavender: helped me in sleeping and relaxing.
PS: jus to share what i know.. -
Is it true that pregnant woman smell too much Lavender will get miscarriage one?
-
yes i have heard that lavender is not suitable for this grp of pple. but do not know e reason why. it is best to stay away from lavender in the first trimester. some say it encourages menstrual discharge, hence miscarriage. however, others have used lavender for drinks and teas and their babies turn out fine.
as a safe guideline: pregnant ladies and nursing mothers shld steer clear of essential oils. when using essential oil, do seek consultation from medical professionals.
