Exploring the Aromatic Realm of Lava Bead Aromatherapy Bracelets

I was fortunate enough to try one of LEVEL’s aromatherapy bracelets (made with lava beads) and I was really impressed with it.

Aromatherapy bracelets made with lava beads have become very popular due to their dual benefits of promoting relaxation through aromatherapy whilst also being a stylish accessories (which matches any outfit). Lava stone is known for its porous nature, which allows it to absorb and hold the essential oils, making it a great way of diffusing scents throughout the day. I had a look at some of the features of the aromatherapy bracelet and this is what I found…

Material Quality

Lava beads are typically made from natural volcanic rock, known for their durability and porous structure which is why they are used for aromatherapy bracelets. Lava beads are a good choice as they are able to absorb essential oils.

Aromatherapy Benefits

These stylish accessories provide a convenient and delicate way to enjoy the health benefits of essential oils all day. The lava beads structure permits gradual diffusion resulting in a relaxing or invigorating effect based on the oil you have chosen to use. An added bonus is the pink zebra natural gemstones which are believed to support wellbeing, as they assist system circulation, as well as heal bone and muscle tissue. It is also said to reduce stress and support emotional healing.

Stylish Design

Aromatherapy bracelets are available in variety of designs and colours. Some incorporate additional stones/beads/charms making them appealing as they can be worn with both casual and formal wear. My bracelet is formed by alternating pink zebra natural gemstones and black lava stones. The gemstones are untreated and unenhanced creating colours and patterns which are all-natural and beautiful!

Customisation

What I love most about these bracelets is the ability to choose and personalise the scent based on your own aroma preference and mood. Users can choose their favourite essential oil/combination of oils to create a unique therapeutic experience.

Longevity of Scent

The structure of the lava beads ensures the slow and long-lasting release of essential oils. The fragrance seems to lasts for a day or so (if you remember to take it off when you bath/shower) before it needs a top up from your chosen bottle of essential oil.

Easy Maintenance

Another win is that Aromatherapy bracelets are low maintenance. It is easy to replenish the scent by adding a couple of essential oil droplets onto the lava beads. It is also important to use good-quality, pure essential oils to avoid damaging the bracelet.

Affordability

Aromatherapy bracelets are usually reasonably priced, making them an accessible option for those wanting to integrating aromatherapy into their day to day life without having to buy an expensive diffuser or other aromatherapy products.

Overall, I was awe-struck with my aromatherapy bracelet as it incorporated the therapeutic benefits of essential oils into a stylish and individualised accessory. I believe that their durable nature, easy maintenance, and ability to provide long-lasting aromatherapy benefits will continue to make them a popular choice for people looking for a cost effective, convenient and moveable way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy all day long.
