Will tell more later of how i feel about the oils in the upcoming posts!

While i was conducting a SRT  class in Singapore, during lunch time i went to Aromatherapy store called “The Perfect Portion” at Newton Shopping Mall,  i bought a few massage oils and a 5 ml bottle of MNUKA Oil.

Manuka Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of leptospermum scoparium. It is a native of New Zealand and is used as an important medicinal plant by the Maoris.

This is a natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, mainly used by people for drying up and curing Acne and treating various skin issues.

The scent of Manuka? Spicy and strong leave smell, I kind of like it though… I usually use it with Diffuser and mix with Lemon.

I have one Salt Scrub from Body Shop, i only used it for few times and leave it aside for quite sometimes, today i was thinking to use it but i think i leave it too long and the properties changed.

So.. i thought why not i create my own Body Salt Scrub?

So, here’s my ingredients :-

3-5 drops of Lavender Essential Oils

3 drops of Peppermint Essential Oils

2 tea spoons of Grapeseed Oils (light type)

3-4 tea spoons of Himalayan Salt (fine type)

First i put the salts in a glass bowl, then i mix it with the grapeseed oils and the essential oils, finally i stir it evenly and  it all done! A Body scrub that refreshing and uplifting with antibacterial properties!

The above ingredients are suitable for one time use to avoid wastage, you can adjusts the volume of the ingredients or essential oils based on your preference, so keep on creative and make your own body scrub! If you want you can make more and put it in a jar.

The ingredients above you may purchase the grapeseed oil and Himalayan salt at organic shop, for essential oil it’s better to use Organic and Therapeutic Grade oil, i am using the brand Young Living as it is better grade and quality.

I think most of us in this current modern world are used to “Buy” whatever we need from the marketplace,  we seldom thought of use our creativity to create our own stuff.  Or is it too easy to get as long as we have money? Sometimes making your own can be more contentment. Of course you can make your own salt scrub as a birthday gift to your friends, it is eco friendly, and organic!

Creating something new is fun, it like a child found a new toy to play,  making use of what i currently have and transform it to something else is form of happiness. It is exciting, also stimulating my inspiration, creativity and joy.

The first time  i open up my bottle of Young Living Lavender Essential Oil, the first feeling i got is “Nature”, “Flower”, ” Feminine” and “Poise yet Gentle”.

If you are new to esential oil, Lavender may be the first oil you are going to get.

I believe this is one of the most versatile oils and virtually can be use for anything like meditation, stress release, diffuse, massage, household and ingestion.

Here’s some of the description i have abstracted from their brochure.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has a fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma that is soothing and refreshing. Because it is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it. Lavender is an adaptogen, and therefore can assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances. It is a great aid for relaxing and winding down before bedtime, yet has balancing properties that can also boost stamina and energy. Therapeutic-grade lavender is highly regarded for skin and beauty. It may be used to soothe and cleanse common cuts, bruises, and skin irritations. The French scientist René Gattefossé was among the first to discover these properties when he was severely burned in a laboratory explosion. Lavender may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods. Lavender has an approximate ORAC of 3,669 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter.

Frankincense is one of the oldest oil being used since ancient time, it is also the oil that being offering to Christ child Jesus by 3 Wise Men.

Honestly i don’t know all these history while i am using it, i use it becuase i just love the smell, it give me a feeling of purity, clean, grace, and joy. and that’s the amazing part of Frankincense.

One of my friend said, Frankincense is as epensive as gold in the market, and a 15ml bottle of ” Therapeutic Grade” of Frankisense usually cost from $60 to $100 in the market.

Picture below show the Frankincense that i am using with Diffuser.

Let’s not talk about how good it can be for beauty, health or spiritual aspect. if the oil can give me the feeling of Purity and Joy, i think the elements in the oil already doing the job.
