The Bichon Frise is descended from the Barbet or Water Spaniel, much like his cousin the Caniche and was originally known as a Barbichon, which was later shortened to Bichon. In addition, there are four different categories of the Bichon, which include the Bichon Bolognais, the Bichon Maltais and the Bichon Tenerife as well as the Bichon Havanais, and all of these categories came out of the Mediterranean region. The breed was always bred to be companion dogs and nothing more. |

Aromatherapy - an ancient science dealing with application of essential oils extracted from flowers, trees, herbs and resins, is more than sixty centuries old. These oils have healing and cleansing properties and are also delightfully fragrant and mood-enhancing. The ills of the modern life style - fast food, excessive pollution, stress, busy work schedule, lack of proper exercise - affect our physical and mental health adversely. Of late, wisely, a large number of people are reverting back to good old ways to regain equilibrium. Aromatherapy - using essential oils - is also being put into use as a remedy to various problems, skin care being one of them. While practicing aromatherapy skin care the basic thing to be borne in mind is never to apply essential oils to any part of skin without diluting, even while inhaling. Further, the following aromatherapy skin care exercises will be helpful handy for cleansing and cellular renewal of skin, especially facial skin. For deep cleansing of facial skin 3 to 5 drops of essential oil, mixed with a teaspoonful of milk or honey be poured in a pint of hot water. After putting this hot mixture in a stainless steel mixing bowl, the steam from this bowl should be taken on face and inhaled by leaning over the bowl and covering the head with a towel. This method is known as `Facial Steam'. In addition to deep cleansing the facial skin, breathing the steam in this manner also has relaxing effect.
