Aromatherapy has been around for thousands of years use by the Egyptians to scent their bodies and to sooth their moods.

"That which is called Aromatherapy is not always such. "

I find that when people speak of Aromatherapy they really don’t understand what it is. Mainly because the term has so loosely been thrown around by fragrant scent manufactures, fragrant oils are synthetic. Made of chemical by products or unnatural material. These chemicals don’t always suit our bodies. Our bodies are consist of matter and vibrational energy quite similar to plants. That is why you will find that when you smell plant based scents the reactions are quite different than that of a synthetic.

Fragrance tend to give me a headache and cause my Asthmatic husband to tighten up and have an attack. Although Asthma can happen at anytime,anywhere and for any reason this tends to be less likely where PEO are used.

Note: you should not expose an Asthmatic or Epileptic anyone pregnant, nursing or having high blood pressure to Scent. One can never know what will trigger an adverse reaction and better to error on the side of caution.

PURE ESSENTIAL THERAPEUTIC GRADE OILS

Only Pure Essential Therapeutic grade oils are used in Aromatherapy. These oils are distilled from a variety of plants using their leaves, flowers, resin, roots, seeds, wood and this is determined by the species. Steam distillation is the method of choice and the option for most plants this most efficient. It takes a lot of Plant matter to process Pure Essential Oils; this is one of the reasons why when using PEO they are measured in drops. It does no good to over use the oil, this is not only wasteful and mindless but dangerous. The Plants medicinal value has just been extracted and condensed in to this potent healing oil. Aromatherapy is not to be taken lightly this is a powerful healing modality. A modality that works with the body through various systems and application procedures.

CHAKRAS

Aromatherapy can also be used for balancing Chakra’s. Chakra are energy points through out our body. Each of these energy point have a vibrational rate, Pure Essential oils vibrate to corresponding Chakras; the reason being is that plants have similar vibration methods as our own energy. You figure that we breathe in oxygen and out carbon dioxide, and plants take in carbon dioxide and release out oxygen so there is one of our connections to the plant kingdom. When an energy center is off we can feel it through our emotions, our physical bodies, ability to feel connected, not being able to relax or sleep. This is were Aromatology can assist us through the use of massage oils that use pure essential oils that correspond to the dis-ease of the energy point.
