Astrological Aromatherapy for March - Aries

December through February were 3 wonderful months of celebration. The Christmas feasting of turkey, eggnogs and log cakes were fantastic. All those yummy treats threatened to add a few centimeters to my tummy. Then, barely 4 weeks later, we celebrated Chinese New Year. That's another awesome 15 days of pineapple tarts, love letters and those fat laden, oil dripping bah kwa. And a few days after the end of CNY is Valentine's Day. And that means another box of sinfully rich chocolate! It's great that good things come in a row! Now that the celebration is temporarily over (fortunately), we have to start taking care of our bodies more diligently.

Those who know me well will know that I'm a firm believer of the wonders that a good therapeutic massage can do to your overall well being. Why?
Regular massage:

-reduces tension and anxiety
-improves blood circulation
-prevents and relieves muscles cramps and spasms
-calms the nervous system and promotes a sense of relaxation and well being
-stimulates the lymphatic system, which carries away the body's waste products

From this issue onward, I will be sharing with you some interesting information I gathered on "Astrological Aromatherapy" by Patricia Davies. While most of us know our Zodiac sign, many of us are unaware that these signs can shed light on the vulnerable parts of our bodies. Once you know your Zodiac sign, you will have immediate knowledge of the problems most likely to affect you, and an indication of which essential oil or a combination of essential oils, will help to sooth your discomfort.

Astrological Aromatherapy for March

What a great coincidence that we start the Astrological Aromatherapy in March, as the Zodiac year begins with the sign of Aries the Ram. Aries represents spring most appropriately. Full of life with spring-like energy, those born between 21 March and 20 April under the sign of Aries are usually hungry for new experiences. Aries are action-doers. They are characterized by driving energy and therefore it is very common to see Aries pushing themselves to the limit in everything that they do.

As Aries work themselves very hard, they are susceptible to headaches, migraine, catarrh, sinusitis and other physical challenges related to the head. Fortunately, such ailments respond well to aromatherapy and the appropriate essential oils. But even an Aries person will need different plants when they are stressed or agitated - the soothing oil of Venus is much more soothing and useful. The ultimate choice of a Venus oil is Rose, followed by Geranium. When an Aries suffers from fevers and inflammation, Moon-related oil such as Chamomile and Melissa will be able to relieve the discomfort. An Aries person should opt for uplifting oils such as Bergamot, Orange or Frankincense to clear the dark cloud in their minds.

Astrological Oil for March

Rosemary is the signature oil for an Aries person. Rosemary oil is a crisp and clean smelling essential oil. It is great for stimulating the brain, improving memory and mental clarity, while helping with a variety of congested respiratory tract problems, stiff muscles, coldness as well as boosting the liver and gall bladder. It is also used for improving hair and scalp health.

This essential oil is the best choice when you have headaches, migraines, neuralgia, mental fatigue and nervous exhaustion. When you need to clear your mind, or want to heighten your awareness, this is the oil to use.

One interesting effect is the antiseptic properties of Rosemary oil, which is especially effective for intestinal infections, diarrhea, colitis, dyspepsia, flatulence, hepatic disorders, and jaundice. As a pain reliever, it has been found to be effective against rheumatism, arthritis, muscular pain and gout.

Other positive effects:

-palpitations
-poor circulation
-varicose veins
-water retention during menstruation
-obesity
-cellulite
-asthma
-sinus
-whooping cough
-sagging skin

So if you or anyone you know are born between 21 March and 20 April, use relevant essential oils to rejuvenate and revitalize yourself when you have a massage. The more we nurture and nourish ourselves, the better we can performed at work and be the better person we strive to be in life.
