Aromatherapy
WHAT IS AROMATHERAPY?
Essential oils are the vital life essence of aromatic plants and flowers in a condensed form. Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for therapeutic effects. Essential oils have been revered for their fragrance and their restorative effects on the body, mind, and spirit for thousands of years.
ESSENTIAL OIL BLENDS
Pure essential oils are blended for harmonious, combined effect and fragrance. Skillful blending balances the therapeutic effect and aromatic quality of individual essential oils. Aromatherapy oils can create blends to promote:
- Calmness
- Emotional and hormonal balance
- Stress relief
- Rejuvenation, and more.
HOW DOES AROMATHERAPY WORK?
The scent of essential oils is conveyed by the olfactory nerve to areas of the brain that can influence emotions and hormonal response.
When used in a bath or massage, the oils are absorbed through the skin and carried by body fluids to the main body systems; such as the nervous and muscular systems for a healing effect.
WAYS TO BENEFIT FROM AROMATHERAPY
- By breathing the aromatic vapors using an aroma diffuser or air freshener
- By absorbing diluted oils through the skin in a bath or massage
Note:
Pure, concentrated plant extracts have been used for centuries and knowledge of their special properties has been collected throughout many ages. We do not recommend use of aromatherapy as a substitute for medical care. We simply suggest traditional uses based on the wisdom of those who lived in harmony with nature. One example is the book Ancient Healing Art.
