I have suffered from a lot of stress in my life, most of which has been caused by my work and I can strongly recommend aromatherapy as a treatment for the relief of stress and othe ailments. I have been a fan of aromatherapy for many years, and my wife is an aromatherapist so I have plenty of experience of the treatment.
I also enjoy the atmosphere that essential oils create when they are used in room burners - not only for producing relaxing smells, but also for helping promote restfullness and sleep.
My most recent experience was last night. I have been suffering from a bad cold since just after Christmas. My throat has been sore, I have had a persisitent cough, congested chest, and as a result I have had many nights of broken sleep.
My wife made up a mixture of oils which she massaged into my chest and back - I had the best nights sleep ever and woke up this morning feeling quite refreshed. I still have my cold but it is not as bad today.
When using essential oils, as far as I have always been concerned one essential oil is very much the same as another. After all, they come from the same plant don't they? My wife has convinced me otherwise.
Apparently there are a number of factors which affect the quality of an essential oil, and some of these include, the origin of the oil, whether or not the oil is from an organic source, how the oil has been extracted, and the concentration of the oil. I have to say that since learning this I have been able to compare several similar oils when they are used in burners and I can indeed detect differences.
My wife has tried many different brands of essential oils and is always keen to use organic products from sutainable sources, so she was very interested to try out the Likisma range of aromatherapy products.
Likisma was founded in 1992 and now operates in 8 countries around the world. Likisma essential oils are 100% pure and natural, and they are derived from organically and ecologically grown plants. All Likisma essential oils are guaranteed free from pesticides, synthetic chemicals, and genetically modified plants.
One thing we both like about Likisma is that they liaise closely with local farm co-operatives, and carry out regular site visits to maximise the financial return for the indigenous community.
The Likisma range is divided into two three broad categories, essential oils, aromatherapy products, and blended products.
There are 40 different essential oils in the range, and they are...
Basil
Bergemot
Black Pepper
Cedarwood
Chamomile (Roman)
Citronella
Clary Sage
Coriander

Each of the essentiaol oils is available in a 10ml bottle, some are also available in 25ml bottles.
The price of a 10ml bottle of oil ranges from £4.95 to £22.50
Likisma also offer many of the esential oils pre-mixed to treat specific conditions and ailments, or to provide distinct moods.
The Aromatherapy products range includes beginners aromatherapy kits with full instructions, base creams and lotions to which essential oils may be added, and gift sets.
The Blended products range includes oils blended with lotions, creams and other bases for skincare, haircare, footcare, petcare, mother and baby, and mens toiletries.
Likisma products at first appear to be more expensive that similar products you can buy in the High Street, but taking into account that the products are organic and fairly produced, they are quite reasonably priced when compared to similar products.
Likisam also offer opportunities for earning through parties, social groups and charities - their commission rates are very good reaching as high as 48% for their best performing consultants, and by hosting a party it is very easy to earn commission of between 15-25% and get a lovely free thank you gift as well.
