Its pleasant and slightly chilly in some parts of the world and the best way to combat cold is using Basil Oil. The name originated from Greek word basilium and hence Greeks referred to Basil as “King of plants”.
All the parts of the plant are used namely the stem,leaves and flowers to derive oil. Our Tulsi plant is called “Holy Basil”.

ishing everyone a Happy Navaratri season.

While Navaratri celebrations have begun in India most of the people in the West are welcoming Fall. Fall reminds me of Pine, Cinnamon and dried leaves.
Sweet, woody smell of pine trees is familiar to all who love being outdoors. Pine trees are evergreen in nature and found in abundance hence the oil obtained from them is inexpensive. Pine oil is obtained from steam distillation of the needles, twigs and cones.
There are medicinal uses of pine oil. Hippocrates used pine oil to treat pulmonary conditions and Pliny recommended it for respiratory ailments.In Aromatherapy it is used to stimulate the mind and also the body.It has an energising effect on the body and it is used to treat mild depression.It also helps in slowing down cellular deterioration thus slowing the process of aging.It is also used in various skin conditions like psoriasis,acne, boils. It is also an excellent cleaning agent hence used in sprays and room freshners.
There are also certain precautions which need to be taken as pine oil is very powerful. If it is not diluted then it can irritate skin and mucuos membrane.

Ganapati bappa has arrived and everyone is happy celebrating his arrival. Different kind of flowers are offered. Incense sticks are burnt. Sandalwood pastes are applied. And the whole atmosphere is full of fragrances.
Sandalwood oil is one of the best oils suitable for all skin types. It has relaxing,calming,cooling and soothing properties.It helps to ease an anxious mind and promotes sleep which gives one's mind and body a good rest.
It not only cleanses the skin but also gives a good texture.It is therefore added to facial and bath oils and also to various after shave lotions,creams. It has its own sweet warm aroma and it blends with any other oil. It can be readily mixed with products which are used by both men and women.

It is safe and non-irritating oil however as all essential oils require the basic blend this too needs to be diluted before using for skin or hair.

Wishing everyone A Happy Ganesh Chaturthi. May Lord Ganesha
bless us all with Peace,Prosperity and Happiness.
