Aromatherapy and Essential Oils
 Essential
oils are one of the greatest untapped resources of the world with
outstanding properties that are only now being used to their
potential. Essential oils have provided needed therapy for
centuries, and unlike chemical drugs, essential oils do not remain
in the body and they leave no toxins. Aromatherapy enhances the
quality of life through the use of pure essential oils from herbs,
roots, flowers, barks and resins. They are the essence or soul of
the plant.
Pure essential oils are best used in the form of
massage oils, bath oils or inhalations. This simple therapy leaves
you uplifted, stimulated, relaxed, or invigorated depending upon
the oil used. It is important to remember when using oils for
massage to always use with a carrier oil and never use undiluted on
the skin.
Essential oils are inhaled into the body where they
will stimulate cellular renewal, enhance emotions and rejuvenate
our sense of wellbeing. When inhaled the oils are carried in the
aroma where it penetrates the bloodstream through the lungs to
cause physiological change. These changes affect the limbic area of
the brain - an area that is related to emotions and memories and
influences our behaviour. Our sense of smell works on a
subconscious level.
Essential oils help reduce stress and tension, they
refresh and invigorate. They help us to regulate our moods,
soothe our emotions and clear our minds. Aromatherapy improves our
health by working with our bodies in a natural way. Because
essential oils do not appear to lose their effect with repeated
applications, aromatherapy compliments most types of therapy
whether it be conventional or alternative. The brain has total
recall for scent, it never forgets. Because the sense of smell is
so immediate, the fragrance from an oil will affect the body's
chemical balance quickly. Aromatherapy effects our psychological
and physical well being.
Aromatherapy allows you to pamper yourself. Cater
to those sensual pleasures, whether for stimulation or relaxation.
Indulge in the ultimate experience and feel the difference in your
health today with pure essential oils and aromatherapy.
