Happy May!
Hope you’re enjoying Spring. Our Spring is pretty much over, however. Summer arrives in Chico in time for Mother’s Day every year since we’ve been here.
Mama Love has been getting multiple inquiries lately so I thought I’d address some of them here.
First, there has been some confusion about my scented vs unscented sprays:
1) How can aromatherapy products work if they are unscented?
They don’t! (lol) My unscented sprays are NOT aromatherapy—they’re flower essence therapy! In fact, ALL my products are designed around flower essence therapy FIRST. If they don’t work for me and other people that way, I don’t put them out as a product.
2) What makes the scented products different?
After I design my unscented versions, I find essential oils that address similar issues to add in. This first came about because aromatherapy is much more well known than flower essence therapy and I wanted to reach more people. In fact, I’m sure some of you are thinking what IS flower essence therapy? (I have a ton of info to share on that. Start here if you like: http://www.healingcommunication.com/mamaloveproducts/flower_essence_therapy.html) The main thing to know is that they are unscented and work on an energetic level (at least) to help you shift emotional and mental patterns.
I also decided to add essential oils because I like them! It makes it much more fun! And because some people feel the effect of the oils more easily. That doesn’t mean the flower essences don’t work—it means that the effect is sometimes subtle, building over time, and working on another level. (Although if you REALLY need a particular set of essences, the effect can start out feeling quite dramatic!)
3) Can I use the flower essence aromatherapy sprays as a room freshener or perfume?
Only temporarily. They’re really not meant to be used that way and tend to dissipate quite quickly (as they are supposed to!). Mama Love sprays are made with safety-consciousness first. (Not always the best “business” choice but it is MY choice.) Some people are very sensitive to essential oils in the environment — I can hardly stand to walk into a Jo-Ann’s Fabric at Christmas time because the scent of cinnamon is SO overpowering. People like to claim that scent sensitivity is set off only by synthetic aromas but that is NOT the case. People can become over-sensitized to essential oils, especially when used to excess. My sprays are true aromatherapy strength to be safe for the average person. (People already hypersensitive to essential oils should probably stick with my unscented flower essence-only sprays instead.)
And one last question about my triple strength products:
4) Are those safe for everyone?
Triple strength products are the same strength as a moderately strong perfume—the 10% dilution recommended for safe perfume use. IF you can wear a natural perfume, check the ingredients to make sure there’s nothing in there you are specifically allergic to, and use them as you would use a perfume (a little dab here and there — not slathered on like a massage oil!).
If you tend to be sensitive to essential oil products, don’t use the triple strength! Try my original strength or go with the unscented sprays.
