Why Have Sex? That's a good question. Especially if you have been in a long term relationship, sex seems like one addtional chore or obligation that one needs to make time for in their busy life. Its really easy to loose interest in it, once it becomes same old, same old. Agreed?
Well, having sex is a good idea merely because it is a good way to burn alot of calories fast. It is also a good way to keep your relationship on track. What can you do if you simply don't feel like it? ever...?
Counseling is out of our realm but Ylang Ylang is one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs and can help you get motivated for the big 15 minutes or so you will need to be engaged.
Ylang ylang is a gentle oil that is rich in esters. It sooths the nervous system and allows you to relax. Another reason it is not a whole essential oil, meaning that it is processed differently from other essential oils. In a 2005 study ylang ylang was found to reduce the pulse rate while at the same time increasing alterness and arousal. All good conditions for having sex.
So now we've established that we must have sex for diet and for our relationship. We've established that ylang ylang works on relaxing the pulse rate as well as the nervous system while at the same time increasing alertness and arousal, so how do we use this very powerful smelling oil?
It can be used in an inhaler along with other essential oils. The chemicals of the scent will travel immediately to the brain and into the limbic system where ylang ylang will begin to do its work. Ylang ylang can also be added to a lotion along with other oilsin a blend that it won't over power. Check out http://www.omstonearomas.com/ for intstructions on how to blend. Happy Luvin!

Ghandi Root Essential Oil - Warming, Calming, Grounding Om-ilicious!
I have found an om-ilicious essential oil that has been adding a new dimension to my blends both for relaxation, sleep and for those seeking a spirtitual depth. Ghandi Root.
Its aroma is deep and slightly sweet. It opens with a syrupy top note ending with an earthy base note, perfect for meditation and energy work. It is also excellent for those struggling with sleeplessness. I have been combining Ghandi root together with frankincense, sandalwood and lavender holds well in a rich body cream. Of course, I always like to cheer things up with a touch of rose hydrosol or perhaps a citric oil.

Can you get rid of your wrinkles forever?
Can you get rid of yor wrinkles forever? The answer is no. Even a facelift will eventually begin to fall, because aging progresses. So what's a wrinkle fraidy cat to do? Prevent and Correct.
Prevention is the ultimate way to control wrinkling and contain the damage. This means, staying out of the sun, no smoking and keeping your skin well hydrated because dry, tight skin leads to wrinkles!
Essential oils and carrier oils can help hydrate your skin. Carrier oils known to deflake dry skin include borage oil, evening of primrose oil and grapeseed oil. Jojoba oil is an excellent choice for acnetic and oil skin. Essential oil of frankincense is an excellent oil to rejuvenate the skin along with rose geranium and sandalwood. Toss in a drop or two of lemon essential oil and you skin will brighten up.
Correction of wrinkles is possible of couse (and its all temporary!) with Botox and other neurotoxins. Not everyone wants to go this route. You can try exfoliation techniques to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with microdermabrasion and mild chemical peels. At home you can make yourself a sugar scrub using the absolute of orchid oil. Contact us at Omstonearomas@yahoo.com and we can blend specifically for you!

Aromatherapy for your Lifestyle
No matter where you live these days life is hectic and stressful. There is the faltering economy, fewer jobs, fewer contacts with people and electronics all the time anytime. Kids are attached to little Ninetendo computers they carry around. After school its Wii.
We are bombarded by information and it seems like none of it is good. Lots of "must do's" fill the airwaves. Must have breakfast, must have less than 6 ounces of protein, must work out like 10 times a week -- where on earth are we supposed to get the time, let alone the money? The expectations are high.
Can't even get away from it all at work -- that is for those of us who have work. Many employed people are performing jobs that used to be done by two or three people. No complaining allowed. There's no time or money for a vacation. Not to mention college tuition, and parents who may not be well.
It all takes it toll on diet, exercise, outlook and emotions. UrbanOm (http://www.omstonearomas.com/) was created to help urban and suburban dwellers find relief. These edgy products address stress, insomnia, focus and our environment. They are preblended with the finest essential oils sourced from reliable markets. Like OmStone Products, they are insured.

It is thought that Melissa mimics the actions of benzodiazopenes - commonly used sleeping pills. This mister scents your bedroom, pillow, pajamas and body. Evening use only.
Focus- Restless? racing thoughts? focus can calm your racing thoughts and stimulate your mind. Key ingredeient is grapefruit which is a nervine as well uplifting. Simply apply gel to bottom of feet or temples or wear as a personal scent.

Exhausted Nation: Essential Oils and Aromatherapy
Sleep, like an elusive lover escapes the embrace of 40 million Americans a year. Americans' lack of sleep runs up $16 billion dollars in medical costs per annum. If you are among those tossing and turning at night, it may be some small consolation to know that you are not alone.
There are many reasons for insomnia. Depression and stress are key culprits and medical evaluation and psychotherapy may be called for. However there are times when we experience disturbed sleep due to life situations. Aromatherapy can help.
Lemon balm or Melissa officinalis is an essential oils dispensed by aromatherapists that mimics the action of a benzodiazapene which is a category of sleeping pills that stimulate the neurotransmitter gamma-amniobutyric acid (GABA). GABA is essential for the proper functioning of the brain and the central nervous system. It has the effect of reducing excessive brain activity and promoting a state of calm leading to sleep. GABA produces endorphins the feel good hormones which are secreted during exercise.
So next time you find yourself tossing and turning, don't panic. Aromatherapy offers many you many options for potential relief.

A qualified aromatherapist can expertly blend an aromatic sleeping potion including Melissa along with other essential oils such as sandalwood, frankincense and neroli. If you are allergic to Melissa let your aromatherapist know. There are many other oils which can work very effectively on insomnia. Your essential oil synergy for sleep may serve double duty and be blended into your face or body cream or lotion. You can also choose to diffuse the oils in an electric diffuser, or you can spritz your room and linen with your customized blend. Your aromatherapist may decide to create a roll-on for you or recommend a cool compress steeped in water infused with essential oils.
