Aromatherapy 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 with their natural golden hue or in white
(white beeswax is bleached).
