The Five Most Popular Aromatherapeutic remedies

According to experts in the field of aromatherapy, the five most popular aromatherapeutic remedies are chamomile, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint and rosemary.

Chamomile

Considered a universal remedy by ancient Egyptians, chamomile continues to be used today to battle illness, promote calm and relieve anxiety at bedtime.  The oil from chamomile flowers can help ease muscle aches and tensions, headaches and joint pains.  Drinking tea made from the petals helps stimulate appetite and calm an upset stomach.

Hotel Emporium’s Ayres Hotel and Oxygen bath amenities feature products made with the highest grade Egyptian chamomile flower heads.  Honey-sweet, fragrant chamomile has been infused into the Ayres Hotel conditioning shampoo, bath gel and soap.  The Oxygen line features chamomile and oatmeal soap.

Chamomile is the ideal natural skin cleanser because it contains a chemical called azulene which works to effectively eliminate impurities from the pores of the skin and hair.  Chamomile also promotes cell regeneration and eases inflammation.

Eucalyptus

With about 300 varieties, eucalyptus has long been a vital ingredient in cough medications because its scent helps open up and clear nasal passages. Eucalyptus oil is also used to scent mouthwashes, aftershaves, colognes and other household cleansers.  The effects of eucalyptus on the mind and body include:  relief from mental fatigue, increased mental alertness, reduced muscle tension and improved immune system.

Carrying on the European spa remedies of the Lox Spa in Baiersbronn, Germany, Hotel Emporium’s Lox bath care line features the medicinal and therapeutic benefits of eucalyptus in its shower gel.  Eucalyptus is one of many European spa ingredients in the Lox line that contain naturally occurring cleansing and astringent properties that will detoxify and re-mineralize your body.

Lavender

Lavender has been associated with cleanliness ever since the Romans first used it as an additive to their bathwater.  Today, it is still a favorite for scenting perfumes, soaps, air fresheners, fabric softeners, disinfectants and many others.  Lavender is one of the safest and most widely-used essential oils, known to have an uplifting and relaxing effect.  It also helps improve digestion, reduce swelling, ease muscle tension and is proven effective for treating minor skin injuries such as burns, cuts, scrapes and rashes.

Featuring salts, minerals and botanicals such as lavender, our Cortona Inn amenity line brings you the secrets of Spa Persepolis in Bucharest, Romania.

Hotel Emporium’s Noni bath care line carries facial and body bars and body lotion made with lavender from Haleakala on the island of Maui.

Peppermint

Peppermint is popular because of its powerful minty fragrance.  Peppermint essential oil is used in liniments to increase blood flow and help relieve muscle spasms and arthritis.  It is also known to uplift the mood, relieve mental fatigue, improve alertness and enhance memory.  Known to be able to kill many bacteria and viruses, peppermint is used for treating various skin conditions.

Hotel Emporium’s corporate program amenity, Pacific Hotels, features mint in its bath gel, conditioning shampoo and body lotion for a soothing effect.

All the ingredients in the Pacific Hotels line are from the Pacific waters off the coast of Southern California.  Each product contains sea water abounding salts, microelements and curative mud with a high content of sulfate and biologically active substances that will detoxify and re-mineralize your body.

Rosemary

With its herbaceous, woody and camphorate odor, it is not surprising that rosemary has a wide variety of uses from ancient times until today.  It became a staple during weddings and funerals in the ancient times and was used as an ingredient in cosmetics as early as the 14th century.  Today, it is a popular ingredient in liniments, massage oils and bath products.  Rosemary is excellent in improving blood circulation, relieving sore throats and lung congestion, and helpful in improving digestion.  The fragrance is excellent for relieving mental fatigue, uplifting mood and enhancing mental alertness and memory.

Our Oxygen brand in room amenity line features rosemary hair conditioner.  Every product in the Oxygen line is made from organic essences used in authentic Shiatsu massage.  Shiatsu embodies the art of massage by applying pressure to various points in the body which accelerates the flow of energy and achieves a state of balance and harmony.
