Sweet-Aromas Aromatherapy: Guest Post

What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is when natural oils are extracted from flowers, stems, leaves, roots or other parts of a plant to enhance and assist with psychological and physical well-being. The inhaled aroma from these "essential" oils is believed to stimulate brain function. Essential oils can also be absorbed through the skin, where they travel through the bloodstream and can promote whole-body healing. Aromatherapy is used for a variety of applications, including pain relief, mood enhancement, relaxation, romance enhancement, sinuses, healthy hair growth and more!

Each One, Teach One…. Guest Post

Denise, from it’s Perfectly Natural, on hair relaxers, balding, chemical burn and going natural
.
My reflection in the mirror that cool Fall morning was the truth. Regardless of how many times I squinted and stepped back from the sink it was time to face the music; I was going bald. Not quite thirty-five, a mother of two and still youthful, I tried to piece together how this could have happened to me. Over fifty-percent of the women on the maternal side of my family all suffer from some form of hair loss. I guess I assumed I was the exception and my hair would stay thick and full forever. The Fall of 2008 (my last relaxer) I soon learned that hair loss has no respect of persons and when it comes you better be ready to fight.

“Mmmm…that smells like creamy, cream pie.” Those were the words out of D’s mouth the first time I applied this all natural conditioner to her hair.
