Aromatherapy Benefits
By Dan Noyes, Sat Dec 10th
Aromatherapy is a therapy that uses aromatic oils, which are derived from leaves, bark, roots, seeds, resins and flowers of plants. They are blended in carrier oil (another oil used for dilution), before being used for body massages, inhalation and baths. It refreshes and de-stresses the mind and induces a sense of well-being. Since, the smell detection center in the human brain is closely linked with the emotional center, aromatherapy is said to affect your moods. Various essential oils are used in aromatherapy to obtain various results. Some aromatherapy benefits include inproved sleeping habits, healthier skin and reduced stress. Aromatherapy oils may be inhaled directly with the use of an aromatherapy diffuser, and the benefits are realized immediately. Many oils help relax the body and mind. Cedar wood, Chamomile, Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Lemongrass, Rose, Vanilla and Ylang ylang are popular oils used as stress busters. These are generally used as bath oils and provide a sensual bathing experience. They can either be used single or in combination. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to an aromatherapy diffuser and immediately experience the therapeutic benefits. Some oils when inhaled, soothe the respiratory system, immune system, stimulate memory and also help as mood enhancers. Eucalyptus oil, sandalwood oil and peppermint oils all provide aromatherapy benefits. Some essential oils are so relaxing that they help to promote sleep, such as geranium, juniper, lavender, lemongrass and ylang ylang. Many essential oils have antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties, which helps in the treatment of infections. Oils such as tea tree oil, juniperberry oil and Rosemary are used for skin and hair care. Despite its beneficial effects, it is advisable that people with serious health problems seek professional help before using them. These oils must never be taken internally and are best avoided when pregnant or nursing. Also, remember, more is not better. Use the right quantity, and use it the right way to get the best results.
