The Scents<br />
of Summer<br />
Summer is in full swing. We're making the most of the<br />
warmer, longer days by, traveling on vacation, taking a rest,<br />
going to the woods and spending more and more of our<br />
free time outdoors. Let’s make this time even more pleasant<br />
by use of aromatherapy. Scents are not only for pleasure,<br />
but for relief from various ailments we may come in contact<br />
with during the summer.<br />
In the hot summer, you<br />
can very well use herbal<br />
distillates (also called floral<br />
water), which are formed<br />
as a by-product in the<br />
production of essential<br />
oils. The result of<br />
the steam-distillation<br />
process is an ethereal<br />
(essential) oil and also<br />
floral water,<br />
which contains all the water-soluble<br />
substances. Floral water spray, for example,<br />
is used to refresh the skin. It can<br />
also be used internally. For example, a<br />
few drops of peppermint or rose hydrolat<br />
(floral water) in a glass of drinking<br />
water can offer refreshing relief.<br />
SWELLING OF HANDS<br />
AND FEET<br />
If you are troubled by the swelling of<br />
hands or feet, try<br />
a cooling bath.
