What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is derived from the ancient practice of using natural plant essences to promote health and wellbeing. It consists of the use of pure essential oils obtained from a wide assortment of plants, which have been steam distilled or cold-pressed from flowers, fruit, bark and roots. Aromatherapy can help ease a wide assortment of ailments; easing aches, pains, and injuries, while relieving the discomforts of many health problems. Aromatherapy also acts on the central nervous system, relieving depression and anxiety, reducing stress, relaxing, uplifting, sedating or stimulating, restoring both physical and emotional well being. The appropriate oils can have powerful results, both on the body and the spirit. “Fragrance Oils”, “Perfumes” and other artificially made substitutes for Pure Essential Oils can not produce these amazing results.
Aromatherapy is the use of inhalation of plant essential oils. The principle of aromatherapy is to strengthen the self-healing process by indirect stimulation of the immune system. Aromatherapy can also be used in massage oils to combine the inhalation of oils and the absorption of oils into the system. This is a natural therapy that is thousands of years old.
Aromatherapy is the art of using highly concentrated, distilled herbal essences, called essential oils. The volatile aromas of essential oils directly affect the brain, producing calming effects and other mental stimulations. Essential oils also create an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, and fungus cannot live.
