ABOUT AROMATHERAPY...
AROMATHERAPY is one of the
most popular therapies today, and possibly one of the most soothing.
The therapeutic qualities of plant oils were discovered in the
early 1900s by a French chemist, Rene Gattefosse, whilst working
in his laboratory. When he accidentally burnt his hand, he plunged
it into a bowl of lavender oil nearby and noticed how quickly
it healed afterwards, with little scarring. From this, he continued
to develop what became Aromatherapy as we know it today.
A variety of oils are used in Aromatherapy. These are made from
the concentrated essences of different plants, which have been
carefully extracted. These oils can be used on their own or blended
with others to treat various complaints in different ways. Inhaling
the aroma through your nose can have a beneficial effect on your
mood - a relaxing oil can help you unwind if you're feeling tense,
or a stimulating oil can give you a lift if you're feeling tired
or depressed.
Using Aromatherapy with massage is the most common way of using
the essential oils, and they are usually diluted with a carrier
oil before use. These oils are then absorbed through the skin,
bringing healing benefits to the body.
Aromatherapy is generally very safe, but as the essential oils
can be quite powerful they need using with care. Also, certain
oils are unsafe to use during pregnancy. A qualified aromatherapist
should be able to assess your needs and use the right combination
of oils to promote healing and restore a feeling of well-being.
