Essential Oils and Aromatherapy…
what are those anyway? We hear about the benefits of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy in advertising, on blog sites and articles, news shows, etc. Here is a quick 411 to enlighten you.
Essential oils have been used medicinally throughout history. They are naturally occurring, aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants.
The popularity of aromatherapy, a branch of alternative medicine that uses essential oils and other aromatic compounds, has revived interest in therapeutic remedies. Oils are volatilized, diluted in a carrier oil and used in massage, diffused in the air by a nebulizer, heated over a candle flame, or burned as incense.
In addition to aromatherapy use, oils are often used for food preparation (find some great recipes here!) and beauty treatment. They can be used for a wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. Check out this page for great ideas on creative DIY options for adding essential oils to your daily life.
