Needlework itself is already a mindful exercise and by extent promotes calm, relaxing, and meditative states of being. A lot of stitchers also utilize scented candles or oil diffusers in their stitchy spots which is wonderful, but you can’t take it with you. That’s why I love the idea that you can have a piece of that therapy anytime via aromatherapy jewelry.
I first saw this trend on Annie’s Catalog under their Gifts and Gadgets section. There are some different types to choose from and Etsy shops have a quite a selection of aromatherapy necklaces. Let’s break down the choices you have.
But first a couple more things to keep in mind:
- Some necklaces do not come with a chain or just have a basic chain
- Many utilize essential oils for fragrance, see if it includes a sample bottle
- If your new to essential oils, it might give you a sticker shock fyi 🙂
White Silk Boutique on Etsy has a really big selection if you want to start there.
You can also purchase a pack of the colorful felt pads separately from this shop.
Other options include lava rocks. These still require the essential oils, but the porous rock absorbs the oil.
