Aroma Therapy & Aromatherapy Information
Aroma can be defined as the characteristic fragrance of a spice, plant,
flower, fruit or seed; and therapy is a curative treatment. For thousands
of years, the value of natural plant oils has been known for their healing,
cleansing, preservative and mood enhancing properties, as well as for the
sheer pleasure of their fragrances. Aromatherapy is the most effective alternative to cope with today's ills. Aroma has been used for ages to soothe, to revitalize, to provoke and to excite. This was the mantra used by our ancestors in the good old days to rid themselves of all kinds of depression. People now favor to treat themselves with different combinations of chemicals in the form of tablets and syrups. Today, when stress, pollution, unhealthy and unhygienic diets, strange lifestyles etc. take their toll on our bodies and spirits. The art of aromatherapy harnesses the strong essences of aromatic plants, flowers and resins to work on our two most responsive senses, those of smell and touch, thus restoring the harmony of body and mind.  The drops of essential oils, which carry so much power, can perhaps, be described as the captured vital life essence of aromatic plants. Little drops of fragrant oil have magical properties. Every oil has its own inimitable aroma, with
the ability to affect both the mind and body. When massaged into the skin, the oil stimulates circulation and gets the blood pumping around the body more effectively, allowing the oil to exert its pain-relieving properties. When inhaled, its absorption into the blood stream is much faster. Through the nose, it makes its way to the lining of the lungs from where it gets diffused into the blood stream. Thus the absorption of essential oils is able enhance your psychological and, in turn, your physical well being as well. Each oil has a discrete chemical composition, which determines its fragrance, colour, volatility and the way in which it affects our system.
