What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy means "treatment using scents". It
is a holistic treatment of caring for the body with pleasant
smelling botanical oils such as rose, lemon, lavender and
peppermint. The essential oils are added to the bath or
massaged into the skin, inhaled directly or diffused to
scent an entire room. Aromatherapy is used for the relief
of pain, care for the skin, alleviate tension and fatigue
and invigorate the entire body. Essential oils can affect
the mood, alleviate fatigue, reduce anxiety and promote
relaxation. When inhaled, they work on the brain and nervous
system through stimulation of the olfactory nerves.
The essential oils are aromatic essences extracted from
plants, flowers, trees, fruits, bark, grasses and seeds
with distinctive therapeutic, psychological, and physiological
properties, which improve and prevent illness. There are
about 150 essential oils. Most of these oils have antiseptic
properties; some are antiviral, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving,
antidepressant and expectorant. Other properties of the
essential oils which are taken advantage of in aromatherapy
are their stimulation, relaxation, digestion improvement,
and diuretic properties. To get the maximum benefit from
essential oils, it should be made from natural, pure raw
materials.
Aromatherapy is one of the fastest growing fields in alternative
medicine. It is widely used at home, clinics and hospitals
for a variety of applications such as pain relief for women
in labor pain, relieving pain caused by the side effects
of the chemotherapy undergone by the cancer patients, and
rehabilitation of cardiac patients. Aromatherapy
