aromatherapy: aro·ma·ther·a·py - noun - The
use of volatile plant oils, including essential oils, for psychological
and physical well-being.
What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the use of pure essential and
absolute oils. It is a branch of herbology and the study of
"aromatherapy" may best be considered in these four areas of
application:
Aesthetic - the effects essential oils
have on the beauty of skin
and hair.
Psycho - the effects aromas have on our
moods and feeling; also
known as aromachology.
Holistic - the integration of the
divine into the body, mind and
spirit.
Medical - the effects essential oils
have in enhancing and
maintaining a state of homeostasis.

Essential oils nourish and
stimulate your skin, enhance your immune system and are a stimulant to the
senses. Making aromatherapy part of your every day lifestyle is simple really --
the essential oils and products that contain essential oils can easily be used
in your personal hygiene routine -- shampoos (try a few drops of Peppermint),
body lotions (lavender), oils & sprays, perfumes (rose), bath blends & salts,
soaps, talcs, toothpaste, sport rubs & liniments. |
