Aromatherapy's Origins and How it can Benefit You
from: Jake RandalThe origins and benefits of aromatherapy
Aromatherapy first got its name in the 1920's by a French
chemist named Rene Maurice Gattefosse. He said it involved using
essential oils from plants, flowers, and roots among other
things to promote healing.
There are now many different versions of aromatherapy and one
must be careful in selecting which products to use and which to
avoid. True aromatherapy involves natural items like bark and
leaves that have theraputic effects on the body. However, there
are some products around that use synthetic scents for
aromatherapy. These candles or incense may smell like the true
ingredients of true aromatherapy, but they are not. In fact,
they can even damage the body by releasing toxins into the air
as they burn. Many candles are even petroleum based which can
also release toxins into the air. The best type of incence to
buy is the kind that burns using soybean wax. This type burns
clean and can heal the body.
There are many different schools of thought involving
aromatherapy. Some believe it can heal everything from a
headache to athletes foot. Others view it simply as a way to
calm their nerves. Still other call cooking with herbs part of
aromatherapy. No matter how you officially define aromatherapy,
however, there are a large number of testimonials giving credit
to the healing properties of some of the herbs involved with
insence.
Lavender can used for relaxing and can bring a sense of
peacefulness to the room. Sandalwood can help ease stress and
anxiety. There are many different types of flowers, plants,
berries, roots, and seeds that can be combined to have an
excellent effect on the senses. Different combinations can
create smells and aromas that trigger the memory to a happy
event or occasion or just create a relaxing mood for all to
enjoy. Those that struggle with restlessness and stress could
really benefit from burning the pure oils to calm their nerves.
Anybody can add incence and candles to their room easily and it
can be a great way to heal the body and relieve stress.
