How Do You Make An Aroma Therapy Neck Warmer?
Aroma therapy is well known for its therapeutic value. The essential oils can assist in inducing relaxation because scents are linked to memories; often pleasurable moments in life. When we breathe in a scent it reaches the olfactory bulb in the brain which triggers a response in our limbic system (an area of the brain where emotional memories are housed). Combining the scent with soft fabric that is warmed soothes stressed muscles where tension is held, and can help release the tension. Combine this practice with some soft music and you are on your way to relaxing! Materials Needed: -2 one pound bags of white rice -The essential oil of your choice of cinnamon spice or coffee -Two pieces of cotton flannel fabric 18 inches long by 4 inches wide -A sewing machine or a needle and thread -A mixing bowl that is used specifically for crafts, not for cooking if you intend to use essential oils -A mixing spoon -A food shovel or spoon Creating the wrap: sew the bag around three sides leaving on
