The Big Chill

No, I’m not referring to winter, but to the need to chill out and wind down. Is it just me, or is it getting more and more difficult to find time to simply relax and switch off?

I’m one of those people who always remembers something I ought to be doing, so as soon as I sit down a huge list entitled ‘items you should have done three days ago’ pops into my head...hopeless when all I want is to chill for a few moments. What I really need is something to take my mind off my ‘action list’ (and to stop being such a control freak, but that’s another matter altogether!).


And that’s where Baldwins aromatherapy products come into their own. Not only do they give me the chance to pamper myself, but the intoxicating perfumes have a way of meandering through my olfactory system into my brain and giving my action list a good talking to! No, I’ve no idea how it works – it just does.

The essential oils in aromatherapy are so relaxing that it’s pretty near impossible not to fall under their spell. If you’ve used aromatherapy to help you relax, deal with particular periods of stress in your life, or even illness – tell us your story.
