This Halloween season, many of you will no doubt be going to a haunted house or two.  It’s fun, exciting and best of all scary.  Not everyone gets excited about going to a haunted house and having chainsaw wielding clowns jump out of the shadows.  For those people who are going out with their friends but would rather not bring a change of underwear, try any of these aromatherapy blends before hand to calm your nerves and ease your fears.

Do this:

3 drops Bergamot

2 drops Grapefruit

OR

3 drops Sandalwood

2 drops Orange

OR

3 drops Jasmine or Neroli

3 drops Frankincense

2 drops Clary Sage

Add these to a small bottle, cap tightly and mix by rolling gently between your palms.  At any time you are feeling afraid or you know you will be afraid (right before you enter the haunted house), uncap and inhale the aroma.  The smell will calm your nerves and help you feel relaxed.

Mystical Charm hopes you have a wonderful Halloween season full of fun and (some) frights.

It should come as no surprise that we Americans have a problem with our blood pressure. As a matter of fact, by age 55 30 percent of white American men and 20 percent of white women will have high blood pressure. The problem is worse if you are African-American. Half of all black men and 40 percent of black women will have high blood pressure.

Primarily this is due to a poor diet and a lack of exercise in our culture. If untreated, high blood pressure can lead to target organ damage, kidney failure, loss of vision, heart attack, stroke and ultimately death.

So what can we do? The first step is to change your eating habits and begin some sort of exercise program. It takes dedication but it can be done and lowering your blood pressure takes time. However, there are ways to treat your high blood pressure faster and achieve your goal in less time.

Your sense of smell is very powerful. It can bring back long dead memories of your childhood or of the first time you kissed your significant other. Scientists have recently discovered that your sense of smell is even more powerful.

Inhaling certain scents have powerful effects on your body and mind. There are a few that have a profound effect on your blood pressure. Chamomile is a wonderfully relaxing scent that also brings down a persons stress level. Lavender has been known for centuries to be relaxing and calming. Rose is also a very relaxing scent used to calm a persons nerves and bring down high blood pressure. Orange and lemon are mood enhancing scents that bring stress down as well.

If you have high blood pressure, see a doctor and follow their recommendations. However, to achieve your results faster, use these scents at work or at home and watch the numbers fall.
