Aromatherapy

So I have worked in an aromatherapy store now for three days, and I have to say I think it is absolutely fabulous. Never in my life have I been so happy. To talk to people who are interested in finding alternative ways to soothe their lives, whether it is through a bath, a massage or simply inhaling the scent of an essential oil really does make me appreciate my fellow man a bit more.

Of course I had an interest in aromatherapy before I started this job. However, I have discovered so many new things over the last three days I don't even know where to begin. Another thing is I come home and I smell so good. And I feel really good. It's a big change from sitting at a desk for the last year, so standing all day is a bit tiring, but I feel very focused when I do my yoga now. More so now than before.

I even had the luxury of meeting a chef doing his practicum at one of the more prominent high end restaurants (which incidently is next door to where I work) who is looking at incorporating essential oils into his cooking, to bring about a more intense and interactive experience.

I had purchased an aromatherapy book a few months ago, and I think now that I am in the position to purchase oils at a bit of a discount (hello, of course there are perks) I am going to start to experiment. As I discover things and come up with some recipes, I'll post them.
