Aromatherapy
is a popular branch of alternative medicine.Treatment involves the
use of fragrant essential oils extracted from plants to relieve tension
and cure minor ailments.
They can be applied to the skin or inhaled.
ESSENTIAL
OILS
Essential oils produce a pleasing, natural aroma which can have a
positive psychological effect on the body. The oils contain the true
essence of the plant it was derived from and are highly concentrated.
They are usually sold for individual use in very small bottles and
to avoid deterioration should be stored in a cool, dry place.
PERFUME
OILS
Fragrance oils are not the same as essential oils. They contain unnatural
chemicals and don't provide the therapeutic benefits of essential
oils.
SKIN
APPLICATION
Oils that are applied to the skin are believed to be absorbed into the
bloodstream. As the essential oils are very powerful and concentrated
they should NEVER BE APPLIED TO THE SKIN IN AN UNDILUTED FORM.
Dilute the essential oil with a carrier oil such as
- Sweet almond oilApricot kernel oil
- Grapeseed oil
INHALATION
Inhaling essential oils is believed to offer psychological and physical benefits. The aroma stimulates the brain to trigger a positive effect, while the natural components of the essential oil are drawn into the lungs to provide physical benefits.
OTHER USES
Some essential oils can act as a natural repellent and pesticide. An example is citronella which,when used in candles, produces a vapour which will keep mosquitoes at bay.
WHEN TO AVOID ESSENTIAL OILS
- During pregnancy
- If suffering from asthma
or epilepsy
- Treat the oils as you would for medicines - keep them in a safe place
