Practices for Men
Although men can and should enjoy all the
aromatherapy practices that women enjoy, below is a list of the aromatherapy
practices that men tend to favor the most.
Ready-Made Aromatherapy Products
Large and small crafters of ready-made aromatherapy
products sell product lines created especially for men. Read AromaWeb's
What to Look for When Shopping
for Aromatherapy Products for general guidelines in purchasing aromatherapy
products. It's a gender-neutral article, but the same principals apply
for aromatherapy products tailored for men.
Diffusion
One of the easiest ways to enjoy aromatherapy is to diffuse essential
oils. Read the Aromatherapy and Essential Oil Diffusers
article for more info.
Air Fresheners/Room Sprays
Room sprays are a quick way to disperse essential oils. They are easy
to make, and are practical at times when you are traveling or at other
times when diffusion isn't possible. You can make your own by using AromaWeb's
Air Freshener recipe.
Colognes and After-Shaves
Colognes and after shaves made with essential oils not only can leave
you smelling good, the right choice of oils can also help improve your
skin and give you an emotional boost. Refer to the Essential
Oil Profile area and review the properties for each oil for further
details. Try AromaWeb's Men's
Cologne Recipe that is fragranced only with essential oils.
Bathing
Bathing isn't just for women. Read AromaWeb's gender-neutral article on
aromatic baths.
Showering
If you're more of a shower guy, you can still enjoy essential oils in
the shower. After turning on the water and allowing it to get hot, sprinkle
2-3 drops of essential oil on the sides of your shower. The oils will
disperse into the steam-filled air. Make sure that the surface that you
drop the oils on will not become damaged (essential oils are highly concentrated)
or stained.
Massages
Who doesn't love a good massage? Read AromaWeb's Aromatherapy
Massage for details on how to enjoy aromatherapy massages and to find
a wonderful aromatherapy massage oil recipe.
Incense
By its nature, incense tends to have a very rich, masculine, earthy aroma
that appeals to men. Most of the incense available, however, is not all
natural and can even contain toxins. Read AromaWeb's Incense
and Aromatherapy article for more information and to learn how to
make your own natural incense.
Candles
Learn what you need to know to purchase aromatherapy grade (all natural)
candles in AromaWeb's Aromatherapy Candles
article. Quick tip: Beeswax candles are a good choice for men who don't
like highly aromatic candles or who prefer to burn candles while using
other aromatics. Find 100% beeswax candles. They are all natural, burn
for a long time, have a soft, honey-like aroma, and are available in either
tan or sometimes in white (the wax is bleached).
