What is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy utilises the aromatic fragrances of essential oils gathered from
plants. We are all aware that certain smells produce psychological changes in us
that can then lead to physiological change – for example when we smell food, as
well as the psychological effect, we start to salivate. The fragrances that are
produced by fragrant plants are potent, volatile essences hidden in tiny glands
within the plant, that contain powerful properties used in aromatherapy to
increase vitality and health.
The health of our bodies, minds, and spirits can benefit in innumerable ways
from these very natural, potent organic plant chemicals that are highly potent
medicines.
- They can be antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral.
- They support the immune system; support all the systems of the
body - hormonal, glandular, emotional, circulatory, and nervous.
- They have a positive effect on the memory and heightening our awareness.
- They can assist in calming us down and helping us to sleep.
Despite this being a very ancient art our knowledge of its full potential is in
its infancy and as scientific and clinical research continues, there is
increasing evidence for the extremely powerful and safe application of
aromatherapy.
