Aromatherapy has gained popularity as an alternative healing and mood inducer through the years. More and more people are learning about the different herbs and essential oils associated with aromatherapy. For a beginner in the field you can light incense or candles to create moods and take advantage of aromatherapy.

Lemon is a common scent and is very popular for aromatherapy. Lemony is believed to purify the spirit and invigorate the soul. Lemon often reminds people of a fresh and clean scent. You can use Lemon in aromatherapy to give yourself a lift and mask any unpleasant odors in a room such as pets, smoke or cooking odors.

Another scent that will lift your senses and spirits is Nutmeg. Nutmeg is often used in conjunction with cinnamon. Combining these scents is believed to give you a new burst of energy and rejuvenate your spirit. This is an excellent scent to burn in candles when you are feeling a little slow or groggy for the day. Other refreshing and energizing scents also include Pine and Peppermint.

Experiment around with the different scents to see which ones work the best to help your moods. You can sprinkle oils on the skin but be careful not to put too much. Some oils are a little harsh for the skin so be certain that it is a mild oil that won’t irritate you or your mood will definitely not be changed for the better.
