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.
