Aromas and essential oils have been known to man for more than 4,000 years.Their present reappearance reflects the new social attitude to the environment and a more natural approach to health.
In the healing art of aromatherapy, aromatic oils are inhaled to promote physical healing, mental balance and emotional well being. Distilled from the leaves, fruits, wood, roots, seeds and flowers of plants and trees each concentrated essential oil has specific properties. Through the olfactory system, essential oil molecules have direct access to the limbic area (center of emotions and memory) of the brain, bypassing the blood-brain barrier. International research suggests that aromatherapy can immediately affect the central nervous system; increase productivity levels, information retention and relaxation. |
