ちなんだ３つ目の投稿は、

『つらい時期をやさしく支えるアロマセラピー✨』

（アロマセラピーは心と身体の健やかさをサポートする自然療法のひとつです。SNSでは医療的な表現を避け、日常で取り入れやすい形でお伝えしています☺️）

IFA国際アロマセラピスト連盟のウェブサイトでは、
臨床に基づく精油の有効性について記述されています。

さて、私の2度目の妊娠・出産時・産後には
アロマセラピーが力になってくれました。その経験の一つ、陣痛促進時の強烈な痛みを紛らわせてくれたのが、
ジャスミン・アブソリュートとクラリセージでした。

私は長男の時、次男の時と、予定日に陣痛が来なかったので病院で陣痛促進を受けました。

陣痛促進が始まると痛みも強くなり、使用できる範囲で鎮痛薬を使いましたが、それでも痛みはどんどん強くなっていきました。

そこで持参したジャスミンとクラリセージの香りを嗅ぎながら体を動かしていると、香りによる心地よさが痛みへの意識を和らげてくれたように感じました。

これは、私の体験の一例です。

今回は、痛みや不安、心配ごと、ストレスなどで心が揺らぎやすい時に、気持ちをやさしく支え、前向きな気持ちやリラックスを促してくれる精油をご紹介します。

精油にはそれぞれ異なる香りと個性があります。

精油の選び方は次のような方法があります🌿

✨香りを嗅いでなぜだか惹かれる香り
✨特徴を読んで共感できる香り
✨直感で「今の私に必要かも」と感じるもの
✨プロのアロマセラピストがお勧めしてくれるもの

ここからは、困難な時期を過ごす方々に寄り添う精油として親しまれている10種類をご紹介します💕

🌹 ローズ・アブソリュート
深く甘いフローラルの香り。心をやさしく包み込み、緊張やストレスを和らげてくれます。

🤍 ジャスミン・アブソリュート
エキゾチックで華やかな香り。気持ちを明るくし、活力や前向きな気持ちを取り戻すサポートをしてくれます。

🌿 クラリセージ
豊かで幸福感のある香り。ストレスを手放し、深いリラックスへと導いてくれます。

💜 ラベンダー
穏やかでやさしい香り。心と身体を落ち着かせ、リラックスを促します。

🌼 カモミール
りんごを思わせるやさしい香り。ほっとひと息つき、心身をゆるめて深い休息へと誘います。

🍋 ベルガモット
明るく爽やかなシトラスの香り。気分を軽やかにし、前向きな気持ちをサポートします。

🍊 スイートオレンジ
太陽のように明るく親しみやすい香り。心をやさしく持ち上げ、気分を明るくしてくれます。

🍊 グレープフルーツ
フレッシュで元気を与えてくれる香り。新たな意欲や前向きな気持ちを引き出してくれます。

🌿 ローズマリー
清々しいハーブ調の香り。頭をすっきりとさせ、活力と集中力を高めてくれます。

✨ フランキンセンス
落ち着きと深みのある香り。ゆったりとした呼吸を促し、心のバランスと内なる強さを取り戻すサポートをしてくれます。

お手軽な方法は、お好みの精油をディフューザーやアロマランプに垂らし、香りの漂うお部屋で1時間ほど過ごしたり、携帯して必要な時に香りを嗅ぐ。または、ロールオンボトルに10mlのキャリアオイルを入れ、そこに精油を2滴(1%)〜６滴(3%)入れると、セルフケアに使うことができます。

お肌への使用が難しい場合でも、香りの広がる空間で静かに過ごしながら、1時間ほど芳香浴を楽しんでみてください。

身体の不調を感じている時も、心が疲れている時も、日々の忙しさに押しつぶされそうな時も。

アロマセラピーは、香りの力を通して、穏やかなひとときとやさしいサポートを届けてくれるかもしれません🍃✨

🌿 Aromatherapy Awareness Week

✨ Support During Challenging Times ✨

In this post, I’d like to introduce some emotionally uplifting essential oils that may help promote feelings of comfort, positivity, and relaxation during times of pain, anxiety, worry, or emotional strain.

Each essential oil has its own unique aroma and qualities. You may discover one that resonates with you through its scent, by reading about its characteristics, or simply by following your intuition when choosing an oil.

Here are 10 essential oils often loved for supporting people through challenging times.

🌹 Rose Absolute
With its deep, sweet, floral aroma, Rose lifts the heart and helps ease feelings of nervous tension and stress.

🤍 Jasmine Absolute
Its exotic floral aroma gently stimulates the mind and helps restore energy and optimism.

🌿 Clary Sage
Its rich, euphoric aroma helps melt away stress and encourages deep relaxation.

💜 Lavender
Calming, soothing, and inviting to relaxation.

🌼 Chamomile
Its gentle, apple-like aroma encourages you to pause, unwind, and rest deeply.

🍋 Bergamot
Its clear, bright citrus aroma is wonderfully uplifting and brings a sense of positivity and lightness.

🍊 Sweet Orange
This cheerful, sunny aroma gently lifts the spirit and brightens the mood.

🍊 Grapefruit
Refreshing and energising, Grapefruit helps inspire a brighter outlook and renewed motivation.

🌿 Rosemary
Its fresh, herbal aroma is invigorating and brings a sense of clarity and renewed energy.

✨ Frankincense
Its grounding and peaceful aroma encourages deep, calm breathing and helps restore a sense of inner strength and balance.

You can enjoy your chosen essential oil in a diffuser or aroma lamp. When topical application is not suitable, simply spend some quiet time in the room and enjoy the aroma for around an hour.

Whether you’re facing physical discomfort, emotional challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, aromatherapy can offer gentle support and moments of calm through the power of scent.

✨Real-Life Moments with Aromatherapy and Natural Remedies : Care for Caregivers

I chose this theme because it is closely linked to my own experience.

Caring for a loved one often requires a great deal of energy, both physically and emotionally.

Over the years, two of my regular clients were caregivers for family members, and after their treatments they often shared that they felt lighter and more able to cope.

A few months later, that situation became my own.
I became a caregiver for my mother.

During that time, I tried to take care of myself as well as I could. I carried Neroli and other floral essential oils with me, kept a flower remedy close by, and occasionally treated myself to a relaxing massage.

I also found it important to step away from my responsibilities for a while, spend time in different surroundings, and enjoy comforting meals and small treats. These moments helped me recharge and continue supporting someone I loved.

This experience reminded me that caregivers need care too.

Some resources suggest that aromatherapy may help support relaxation, create a sense of comfort, and encourage emotional wellbeing during challenging times.

Whether through inhalation, massage, or simply enjoying a favourite aroma, it can become part of a self-care routine that helps caregivers feel more grounded, find moments of relaxation, and restore the energy needed to continue supporting their loved ones.

If you are caring for someone you love, you are doing an amazing job. Please remember to care for yourself too. ❤️🌿

🌺 Flower Remedies are another beautiful plant-based approach that may offer gentle emotional support. I hope to introduce them at Yumi’s in the future.

As it’s Aromatherapy Awareness Week, I’d like to share some real-life experiences of using aromatherapy and its gentle qualities in everyday life.

Inhaling an essential oil or a carefully blended aroma can help create a moment to pause, switch off from daily responsibilities, and focus on what you would like to achieve.

Or perhaps it simply helps to change the atmosphere around you, whatever you may be feeling in that moment, allowing you to feel uplifted and reconnect with yourself.

On this particular morning, I chose Cypress essential oil before heading out for a jog. Its fresh, refreshing aroma felt just right for that moment, helping me feel calm and gently focused as I prepared to move my body.

Essential oils can also be applied to the skin when properly diluted in a carrier oil. In this video, I blended Cypress and Lemon essential oils with Apricot Kernel Oil as the carrier. I then used the blend as part of my post-exercise massage and relaxation routine.

For me, aromatherapy is one way to make time for self-care and reconnect with myself during the busyness of everyday life.

Would you like to try aromatherapy as part of your self-care routine? 😊🌿

A glimpse of my Japanese bodywork practice 🦋

Using gentle acupressure-inspired techniques, I scan the body before your aromatherapy massage, helping to release tension and guide you into a lighter, more relaxed state.

Every treatment begins with listening to what your body needs.

✨ Introducing Flow & Bloom Therapy ✨

I’m delighted to announce a new treatment at Yumi’s Aromatherapy & Wellbeing:

🌸 Flow & Bloom Therapy 🌸

This therapy was inspired by the experiences of women around me, as well as a vision I have held in my heart for many years.

I wanted to create a treatment that focuses specifically on women’s wellbeing - not only offering relaxation, but also nurturing emotional, physical, and spiritual balance. These aspects of our wellbeing are deeply connected and cannot be separated.

My approach is designed to help you gently switch off from the demands of everyday life and move away from “fight or flight” mode. The therapy begins with a calming scalp massage, helping to soothe the nervous system and encourage the body to enter a state of rest and relaxation. As your body settles, the parasympathetic nervous system is gently activated, allowing restoration and healing to begin.

The treatment then flows into a soothing full-body aromatherapy massage, followed by reflexology on the feet.

In reflexology, the feet are often seen as a mirror of the entire body, with points corresponding to the brain, eyes, neck, shoulders, internal organs, reproductive system, and hormonal balance.

As circulation and energy flow are encouraged from head to toe, the body can begin to restore its natural rhythm and harmony. When your body is in harmony, your mind and spirit can follow.

I hope your time at Flow & Bloom Therapy brings you a sense of calm, balance, and revitalisation.

🌿 Relax. Restore. Bloom.
