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.

resources we have found for
