Aroma Therapy




      Aromatherapy has been shown to carry many benefits in terms of wellness and stress relief. For example, one study showed that aromatherapy does indeed have an effect on brain waves, and can alter behavior. (Read more about the benefits of aromatherapy.) But not all scents are created equal, nor do they affect human physiology and behavior in the same ways. As scents are inhaled, the smell travels across the olfactory nerves located inside the nose and then up into the part of the brain that controls our moods, our memories and our ability to learn. This area is called the Limbic System and when stimulated it releases endorphins, neurotransmitters and other 'feel-good' chemicals.
     Essential oils used in aromatherapy not only invigorate the senses, but they also have antifungal and antimicrobial properties. They work topically and as an inhalant yet stimulate the immune system to attack harmful bacteria, virus and fungi and further promote healing. According to "Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide" the use of aromatherapy is all natural and lacks the harsh side effects associated with ingested antibiotics.
     As an arthritis or muscular treatment, the topical application of essential oils in aromatherapy can have both anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Clove, cinnamon and thyme generally carry anti-inflammatory properties. Everlast and eucalyptus oils have analgesic qualities that may also double as an antiseptic. In "Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide," skin conditions benefit from the use of essential oils with anti-inflammatory properties as well, as they help reduce swelling, redness and tenderness.
