Aromatherapy
And Your Sense Of Well Being
Who doesn't smell
a loaf of homemade bread baking, or fresh baked chocolate chip
cookies and not close their eyes and remember simpler, happier days?
Smell is a very strong sense which can evoke many different types of
emotions. Aromatherapy is the use of specific essential oils to help
rebalance, harmonize and promote spiritual health and a feeling of
well being.
While lavender helps one to relax, and can be used in conjunction
with meditation, mint and rosemary are stimulating and uplifting and
are great pick-me-ups used in a morning shower. Oils such as lemon
and tree tea are used to help healing of wounds and infections.
These oils can be mixed in a base cream.
Baths with essential oils are very popular. Chamomile and peppermint
can be used to sooth tired and aching muscles and make a wonderful
soaking bath. If, with research you find you want to blend your own
essential oils for bathing, they can be diluted in a base of
powdered milk, sea salts, or milk.
Inhaling is another way to use aromatherapy and is most beneficial
to aid some respiratory disorders such as bronchitis, hay fever or
sinusitis. Inhalation can be done in a variety of ways, through
steam or by use of an electric diffuser, which are easily available
in many stores. Don't forget aromatherapy candles!
It seems that manufacturers have caught on to the popularity of
aromatherapy and they are now incorporating aromatherapy into their
products, including it in things such as cosmetics and hair care
products.
Aromatherapy is used in the US by some medical practitioners such as
massage therapists, and naturopaths. Aromatherapy is widely accepted
in France and Britain and is even taught in medical schools there.
