been recognized for more than 6000 years for their healing, cleansing,
anti-microbial and mood-enhancing properties. Aromatherapy makes use

Oils
The art
of aromatherapy harnesses the potent pure essences of aromatic plants,
flowers and resins to work on the most powerful of senses - smell and
touch - to restore the harmony of body and mind. The value of natural
plant oils has been recognized for more than 6000 years for their healing,
cleansing, anti-microbial and mood-enhancing properties as well as for
the pleasure of their fragrances.
Essential oils are extracted from an array of plant sources - petals,
leaves, seeds, nut kernels, barks, stalks, flower heads and gums and
resins from trees. Apart from their use in perfumery, these can also
be used in bath and smoothed over the body.
Essential oils penetrate the skin more effectively than vegetable oils
and is established as an alternate natural therapy, which can assist
in the treatment of almost every type of ache and pain, as well as soothing
away the stress and strain of modern life.
Being highly volatile, these can also be inhaled, thus entering the
body via millions of sensitive cells that line the nasal passages. These
send messages to the brain and affect the emotions by working on the
limbic system, which controls the major functions of the body. Thus
in aromatherapy treatment, essential oils are able to enhance both physical
and psychological well-being at the same time.
