Firstly, you will need to learn the different guidelines when looking to purchase quality essential oils. You should not confuse these true aromatherapy essential oils with a number of perfumed and fragrance oils which are currently on the market. You will find that all too often that vendors try to pass off these types of oils which have a combination of fragrance and chemicals. You will discover that true pure essential oils actually come from the essence of the plant and they provide individuals with therapeutic benefits. Also, you will see that fragrance oils can smell nice for some time but will not provide you with any psychological or physical benefits.
When you are first getting started with aromatherapy it is a good idea to look for a good comprehensive aromatherapy book or even take an aromatherapy course as a way of learning as much as you can.
It isn't difficult to get started with learning the different parts of aromatherapy or indeed understanding the different essential oils which are available to and their combinations to make maximum impact. When you read an aromatherapy guide you will learn to appreciate the different guidelines in the use of essential oils and how you can combine these for the most benefit.
Some of the best essential oils to get started with include lavender and chamomile; which can help you to relax, unwind and get a good night's sleep. If you're looking for something to uplift and energize you consider essential oils such as orange and grapefruit.
Be aware that essential oils should not be used in an undiluted form for physical application. Undiluted is fine for inhalation or steam inhalation as well as freshening a room or your laundry, but if you intend to use your oils for an aromatherapy bath or massage they must be combined with a carrier oil such as sweet almond oil.
And, finally, you should consider it important to learn how to keep and store your essential oils. A good aromatherapy guide will have a section that talks through the way to store your essential oils and should instruct you to store them in dark glass bottle such as cobalt blue or amber. The purpose of these bottles is to keep the oil cool and you should then store them in a dark area. Also, having a wooden box to store and carry them in is a good idea as you can take them with you wherever you go.
