Essential
Oils are the highly concentrated, volatile, aromatic
essences of plants. Essential oils have positive effects
on every level of being. Their unique properties enhance
the mind, body and spirit. Essential oil aromas stimulate
the part of the brain that affects emotion and are quickly
absorbed through the skin. Chemical properties of essential
oils can be cleansing, deodorizing, toning, or balancing.
Inhaling essential oils can help us attain a pleasurable
emotional balance. A balanced emotional state in turn
can have a therapeutic effect on physical problems, particularly
those that are stress-related. The use of essential oils
create beneficial changes in our lives on aesthetic, therapeutic
and mystical levels.
Aroma
Therapy is both an art and a science. Aroma Therapy
uses pure essential oils, extracted from many parts of
the plant (flower, leaf, resin, bark, root, twig, seed,
berry, rind and rhizome) to relax, balance and rejuvenate
body, mind and spirit. Aroma Therapy is the creative and
scientific application of improving the quality of life
on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
Everyone has emotional responses, both pleasant and unpleasant,
to certain scents. The idea behind aroma therapy is, first,
to find the scents, unique for each individual, that evoke
positive sensory feelings and emotions; and then to introduce
those scents into our everyday life to enhance well-being.
Natural scents keep us connected to the earth, elevate
memories and emotions.
