Refreshing and Relaxing Green Tea Scent

Between coffee and green tea, many people would often choose the latter because of its health benefits.  In fact most of Asians drink a cup or two of green tea a day to cleanse their bodies.

A green tea plant is a shrub with white flowers.  The tea is produced by drying the plant's leaves.  Drinking green tea is said to be beneficial for anyone because of its therapeutic and medicinal properties.

●        It is good for the teeth because it has fluoride.  It can reduce the build-up of plaque.  Now you can flash your pearly whites with pride.

The process of steam distillation extracts the essential oils from the green tea plant.  Since there is only very little oil extracted from the plant, additional oils are taken from the plant’s seeds.  The process is called cold-compression.  It is where the seeds are dried and pressed using an oil press.

What about the use of green tea in aromatherapy?

The green tea essential oil is used in aromatherapy as a therapeutic oil. You can put a few drops of the essential oil into your warm bath to help you relax after a hard day's work. The same oil can be added in water and diffuse them with the help of a tea light oil burner. Another great option is to open a Karma Senses aromatic reed diffuser and allow yourself to bask in its relaxing and refreshing scent. Just like the lemongrass tea scented reed diffuser and the MiKeRa pillar candles, the green tea scented reed diffusers can make you feel calm and it can create a soothing environment.

Beyond Aromatherapy

Green tea essential oils have anti-aging, astringent and anti-inflammatory properties that makes them essential in manufacturing soaps, shampoos, lotions, perfumes and massage oils.  This aromatic scent is used in perfumes like Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea or Bvlgari Green Tea.  For those who enjoy the sweet grassy scent of green tea, wearing these perfumes is a great way of enjoying its fragrance wherever you go.
