What Is Aromatherapy?
You may have heard quite a bit about aromatherapy in the
past. You are sure to have seen the many benefits that it
has offered, but have not really thought about it either.
Aromatherapy is a method of using the right products to
create a scent that is said to better your thoughts,
improve your mood or even to help cure you of an ailment
that you are feeling.
If you have not had the opportunity to use aromatherapy in
the past, you should give it a try. If nothing else, you
will love the smells and the way that they enlighten the
environment you are living in. In fact, that in itself is
enough to provide that aromatherapy is a great tool to use.
Learning what aromatherapy is and how it works is something
that you will want to know though. It is considered a
complementary as well as an alternative form of medicine.
In that, it is not said to be the cure all for every
ailment under the sun and you should never stop using your
current treatments for serious conditions. Yet, many people
have found this treatment to help make their lives just a
touch better all around.
Aromatherapy uses essential oils to make these things
happen. Essential oils are concentrated liquid that comes
from a plant. They are compounds that are very strong, in
their purest of forms. They are taken from a plant through
distillation, through expression or through solvent
extraction.
They are used throughout your home as it is in your
perfumes in your incense as well as in the foods that you
eat. This product from a plant is said to provide you with
a trigger for your health too. For example, the smell of a
specific fragrance may help you to trigger relaxation.
Yet, there is much more to aromatherapy than just this. For
example, the term was created in 1920 by a man named Rene
Maurice Gattefosse.
He was researching how essential oils can help in the
healing process. He began this study in part because of an
accident in which he caught his arm on fire and
accidentally poured lavender oil onto it.
The wounds healed quickly, more so than normal and they did
not leave a scar. Since then, the exploration of how
essential oils work in healing us, both emotionally and
physically has been a conquest for many.
