Essential oils have been used for aromatherapy for a long time now but still there is no scientific explanation for how they really work. It is still a mystery for many how they give a positive effect to the body. Experts have developed an explanation to this. They say that when we are able to breathe in the vapors of essential oil, the molecules of the oil help to stimulate activity of the brain cells in the limbic area. This area is responsible for controlling the emotions and memory. The skin can also absorb essential oils in body lotions and soaps. This means that the effects of the essential oils may not only be inhaled, but it may also be absorbed by the skin by using products that contain essential oils.

Make sure that the spa gift basket you choose also has bath salts. Luxurious bath salts turn an ordinary bath into a spa experience. Hot and sensuous water redolent with the natural fragrances can only be achieved with the very best exotic salts. Why is this? By using these "bath bombs" the water becomes saturated with minerals. The skin being the body's largest organ quickly absorbs much need trace minerals. The citric acid and baking soda provide a nice fizz and crisp feel. Salt also changes the pH balance of the water as well. This makes the water soothing and provides a better soak and helps ease tired and sore muscles. A nice body scrub is also a welcome addition to spa gift baskets. One made of oatmeal or lemon and sugar will lift off dead skin cells that would otherwise clog pores and prevent the skin from hydrating itself. The epsom salts can then draw out toxins from the skin and into the bath water. All of this combined provides an unforgettable experience and really transforms an ordinary bathrooms into a sanctuary of relaxation.
