Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that treats the mind, body, spirit. Aroma Therapy is a complementary, alternative therapy intended to provide a holistic approach to meeting the needs of your Mind, Body and Spirit. Aromatherapy was used in Egyptian times dating back to 3000BC.
Aromatherapy offers the enhancement of physical environments for healing, health and wellbeing while allowing for measurable outcomes including but not limited to relief of pain, nausea, insomnia, depression and anxiety.
Aromatherapy is an evidenced based form of alternative medicine in which healing effects are ascribed to the aromatic compounds in essential oils and other plant extracts.
These compounds are derived from plants. An oil is “essential” in that it carries a distinct scent or essence of the plant. Essential oils help treat a wide range of problems on a physical and psychological level. Identify which oils can be inhaled or applied to the skin by learning the difference between essential oils and carrier oils. Learn about Pub Med peer-reviewed research and how to implement aromatherapy safely.
