Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a medical specialty in itself. It uses the power of essential oils to improve health & well being either by topical application or by inhalation. It is different from perfume, even though they may smell similarly, because perfumes are often synthetically produced & do not contain the medicinal ingredients found in essential oils.
Essential Oils are:
·Subtle volatile liquids distilled from God given plants, flowers, roots, seeds & trees;
·They help create an environment unfriendly towards disease, bacteria, viruses & fungi;
·The olfactory nerve (nasal system), responds to scent very quickly, unlocks odor memory & releases emotions through the inhalation of essential oils. This in turn enhances emotional wellness, by promoting relaxation or by stimulating mental capacity;
·They do not remain in the body, they leave no traces behind but rather initiate a process of healing;
·They are able to stimulate tissue regeneration;
·Therapeutic grade is dependent on the specific distillation process, therefore quality is very important;
·They contain oxygenating molecules;
·They act as a catalyst in the biochemistry of the plant & behave similarly in us;
·They are gentle & non-invasive; and
·They help maintain optimum health – a great preventative & immune support!
