Aromatherapy- Know the power of fragrances
By David Chandler
Aromatherapy is an ancient art that has been used for thousands of
years as an aid to physical and emotional well being. Aromatherapy
and its use can be traced back as far as the ancient Egyptians, who
took advantage of essential oils therapeutic powers. Aromatherapy
has also been used for a very long time in the Far East and China.
Effects of Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a branch of herbology and the study of
"aromatherapy" may best be considered in these four areas of
application:
Aesthetic - the effects essential oils have on the beauty of skin and
hair.
Psycho - the effects aromas have on our moods and feeling; known as
aromachology.
Holistic - the integration of the divine into the body, mind, and spirit.
Medical - the effects essential oils have in enhancing and maintaining a
state of homeostasis.
Method of application
An essential oil is a liquid distilled from the leaves, stems, roots,
flowers, or bark of a plant. Essential oils, which are used in
Aromatherapy, are very concentrated, and therefore, they are usually
diluted with carrier oil, such as almond oil. Essential oils, in their purest
form, tend to be very expensive, because the amount of oil present in
plants is extremely small. For example, 440 pounds of fresh lavender
flowers yield only 2.5 pounds of essential oil of lavender.
Aromatherapy and essential oils can be used for many purposes, such
as to calm or rejuvenate the body and mind.
The use of aromatherapy can be seen as part of a lifestyle choice -- a
lifestyle that allows for pleasure because a moment of pleasure is
healing. Pleasure is described as a source of enjoyment. Why deny
yourself the pleasure and the benefits of a feminine fragrance such as
Rose from Morocco or Bulgaria?
By understanding how to apply aromatherapy in daily use, you can
enjoy the scents and help to maintain a system of preventative care for
you and your family's long-term well-being.
