Aromatherapy Mysteries Unraveled
Aromatherapy is one of the world’s most ancient healing arts. The ancient Egyptians used the essential oils from plant materials in their offerings to their gods and in their embalming process. There is evidence of aromatherapy in Chinese medicine manuscripts and there are numerous accounts of aromatherapy in the Bible.
Aromatherapy is the art and science of using pure essential oils to calm, balance and rejuvenate the skin, mind, body and spirit. Essential oils are extracted from natural botanical materials. The most common extraction method is steam distillation. The chemical properties of the essential oils have the power to relax the nervous system, stimulate circulation, lift depression, reduce inflammation and ease aches and pains. The essential oils are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and are analgesic. Essential oils are highly concentrated. They can not be applied directly on the skin. They must be diluted with a carrier oil – an unscented massage oil, or a vegetable oil. Not all oils are safe for all people. Anyone pregnant needs to be especially careful about the essential oils she is using. There are a number of oils that are not safe for young children and frail older adults. People with certain medical conditions should consult an aromatherapist before using certain essential oils.
There are four pathways of aromatherapy that can be used in order to gain the most benefit from the essential oils.
- Aesthetic: Essential oils can revitalize and rejuvenate skin of all ages. This is also the pathway for burns and skin disorders.
- Olfactory/psychological: Essential oils can enhance emotional well-being.
- Massage: Essential oils, combined with touch, have considerable benefits for the mind and body.
- Therapeutic: The antibacterial, antiseptic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of the essential oils encourage natural healing from within.
Aromatherapy is a powerful healing modality. Consulting an aromatherapist is the best way to start on this aromatic journey. For more information about Aromatherapy, contact Patricia Faust of be! innovative wellness solutions, http://www.besimplybe.com.
