About Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is one of the fastest growing forms of complementary therapies today.  It is now widely used in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings as well as for personal care and enlightment.  Not only are women enjoying the benefits of aromatherapy, but men are discovering the wonders of essential oils as well.

Essential oils are aromatic liquids, which have been extracted, via steam distillation, from flowers, leaves, seeds, roots, grasses and trees.  Thanks to the wonders of Mother Nature, every essential oil carries distinctive therapeutic properties.  These natural oils can be used to promote a balance between mind, body and spirit.  They are used to heighten energy, aid in relaxation, alleviate anxiety, prevent and fight infection, and promote a sense of wellness.  Stress reduction, mental focus and emotional rejuvenation are all benefits that can be derived from the practice of aromatherapy as well.

Aromatherapy works in subtle and not so subtle ways.  Your sense of smell is 10,000 times more sensitive than any of your other senses.  Aromas are transmitted directly to your limbic system, the part of the brain that perceives and responds to memory, pleasure and emotion.  This is why scents have such a powerful influence on your thoughts, feelings and desires.  Smells trigger the limbic system to release neurochemicals that effect mood and relaxation.

Essential oils have been used for thousands of years.  One thing is certain, essential oils could not have endured the test of time had they not been established and valued as a reliable and resourceful therapeutic modality.
