good scents for spring
Posted Monday, March 26, 2007 at 05:04AM
Apparently aromatherapy has officially gone mainstream, given Johnson & Johnson’s recent launch of a product line whose secret ingredient is a little something patented as “Aromasoothe.” Created to ease tension of all sorts, the new Melt Away Stress Body Care collection combines “florals, fresh greens and creamy watery notes,” according to Fashiontribes.com.
The key seems to be chamomile, a botanical long known to provide natural stress relief - as well as alleviate insomnia, tame headaches and muscle pain, and lift away PMS symptoms. And, of course, “slathering on yummy moisturizer is soothing in and of itself,” as ThisNexter keryn points out in recommending the line.
Some other tried-and-true ways to get those aroma-soothing essential oils: Sipping Mighty Leaf’s Herb Fruited Chamomile Citrus tea, breaking off a few squares of Tranquility lavender chocolate, and treating your skin to The Body Shop’s Lavender Salt Scrub.
