Aromatherapy and the different variations of accessories available: part 1Aromatherapy is a type of alternate medicine or recuperation process which involves using the human sense of smell to alter a person’s health, psychological perception and mood. Although this therapy process has not been scientifically proven to be 100% effective, the whole idea stemmed back from as early as the 1st century and the word was officially printed in mid-19th century.
Increasing interest and popularity in aromatherapy has resulted in it becoming part of the everyday life of the general public. The younger generation sees it as a cool, new age interest and is able to purchase scented candles, perfume bottles containing essential oils and innovative scented USB sticks (as unbelievable as it sounds, emitting scents when plugged into USB ports) from selected hobby shops.
Aromatherapy Accessories like Pendants are on the RiseOver the years, fashion has gone one step further and aromatherapy is integrated to accessories and jewellery, hence the birth of aromatherapy pendants, perfume necklaces and perfume jewellery. This comes hand in hand with the desire to ‘go mobile’ and carry the aroma along with your journey. If we can call our friends with our mobile phones, post a shout-out on Facebook and Twitter using a smart phone, why not embrace in a sweet, aromatic environment while on the go as well?
Since they are touted to be part of fashion, these fragrance necklaces and perfume jewellery are designed to cater to different age groups. When you are choosing a piece of jewellery or accessory to go with your clothes, you will naturally consider the material, style as well as the design of the piece before you decide to make the purchase. Do you want to appear trendy when walking down the streets with a bunch of youngsters or spot an elegant and sophisticated look at a formal event? With these considerations in mind, let’s explore the available options in the market.
1. Aromatherapy PendantsThese come in the typical form of a chain and a dangling pendant. The material of the pendant can be either metallic or non-metallic.
a) Metallic
Materials used in making the pendants include sterling silver, pewter and brass; these variations are crafted into shapes of celtic crosses, heart shapes, oriental domes as well as different flower designs and many more. These dainty aromatherapy pendants are made hollow so that a chamber is available to contain a diffuser, which is in charge of emitting the desired scent.
b) Non-metallic
If you prefer a more youngster style and are not too concerned with an elegant outlook, you probably can explore the non-metallic version of the aromatherapy pendant. It can be as simple as a flat disc made of clay earth hanging from a plain cotton cord, and as exquisite as a slimline whiffer made of ebony and olive wood. The non-metallic version provides an option to a rare group of consumers who may spot an allergy to metal.
How Aromatherapy Pendants WorkYou must be wondering, how exactly does a simple pendant diffuse scent? The most common and straightforward method involves the use of a miniscule absorbent pad. You just dip your choice of essential oil onto the pad and insert it into the chamber found inside the pendant. These pads are easily replaceable and available for sale along with bottles of essential oils in shops. Some clay-made aromatherapy pendants are as good as the ‘replacement pads’ themselves, such that you can use them as an ornament hanging over your window due to their inexpensive cost and affordability.
Pendants are very common accessories and hence a standard consideration when it comes to the manufacturing of aromatherapy jewellery. In the next part, we will check out more variations of perfume jewellery and perfume bottle necklace.
