What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the art and science of using natural aromatic essential oils. The "aroma" in "aromatherapy" refers to the fact that all essential oils have a characteristic smell, while the therapy refers to healing. Aromatherapy involves the use of essential oils, precious, sweet smelling liquids extracted from variety of plants, ie petals, leaves, roots, buds, twigs, wood, bark, resin or fruit.
How does Aromatherapy work?
The essential oils enter the body through the skin, partly because their molecules are extremely small, and they are attracted to the bodily natural fats and fluids, allowing the pure oils to be compatible with the skin basic structure, penetrating it layer by layer, until they pass through into two transport systems, the circulatory and the lymphatic. These two systems allow the oils to be carried around to all the major organs, in order to detoxify and to regenerate every cell in the body.
However, whether essential oils are used in a massage oils in a bath, aromatic molecules waft into the air and enter the nostrils. When these molecules hit the nerve receptors, they set off a reaction which results in brain activity, via the limbic system. The brain sends feedback to the nervous system informing our emotions and nervous tension to calm down or to lift up, depending upon what essential oils are used regarding to their properties
Essential oils in Aromatherapy can be used in variety of ways, such as in massage, creams and lotions, compressions, soaps, baths and sitz baths, vaporisers and oils burners. They have strong properties that enables them to reduce swelling and inflammation, expels mucus, relieving in coughs colds and flus, promotes circulation - blood and lymph, aides in muscular aches and pains, aides in digestive complications and promotes in healthy looking skin.
