AROMATHERAPY
ABOUT AROMATHERAPY
Aromatherapy is the art and science of using essential oils from plant sources for health and well being. The early civilizations --- Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Chinese, --- made use of aromatic plant materials in religious ritual and to promote physical and mental wellness. Throughout history, essential oils have had respected healing applications in the herbal tradition, but it was not until the 1930's that the term 'aromatherapy' was coined. While relatively new to Canada, aromatherapy is gaining scientific, medical and popular recognition. Demand for true aromatherapy products, services and education is growing rapidly as people seek to eliminate stress and improve their overall health.
A considerable body of research shows that smell, the most acute of our senses, has a powerful influence on our bodies and minds. The scents from essential oils are believed to activate olfactory nerve cells in the nasal cavity, which then send impulses to the limbic system, the area of the brain associated with emotions and memory.
