In the last few years there has been an overwhelming increase of
interest in Aromatherapy, it seems that people are interest din
different ways to improve their life quality, and since the Spa
hotels have now become very common a lot of people had the
opportunity of experiencing the sensation of Aromatherapy in one
way or the other.
Although a lot of people think that Aromatherapy is used mainly to
induce a feeling of some sort or an ambiance to a room or space it
is used many times in serious and much more medical oriented ways,
it has been proved that Aromatherapy can effect a patient condition
and in mild conditions even help the patient to a full
recovery.
Dating back many years Aromatherapy has been used by many cultures
around the world, the latest phase is only another cycle of time in
which Aromatherapy is popular once again. The basics of
aromatherapy are based in the belief that natural things can help
other living organisms, in general you might say that herbs and
plants are sharing this planet with us and they also share some of
the basic qualities of life with us humans, so it is also possible
that the power of plants can be extracted from them to aid and help
humans.
Combining different plant odors can stimulate a response in anyone,
you do not need to be an expert to know that certain smells are
very clearly unpleasant as some others are distinctly calming and
relaxing, it is also known that certain smell can be associated
with feelings and memories, making the odor much more than a part
of a scenery and more an active participant in the effect the
environment has on us.
Aromatherapy uses what it calls home therapy by using the oil and
the plant extracts to create a relaxing environment, this basic
concept is the most common in aromatherapy and is practiced by many
around the world, the process of introducing the aroma to the space
is usually done by using a burner that has a candle burning which
heats an oil or water with some fragrant in it thus making the
liquid evaporate. The materials usually used in the home are mostly
eucalyptus oil that gives a very unique odor and will also assist
many during the winter time, when it has the ability to clear the
nose and make breathing a lot easier. Grapefruit oil is also used
in the home therapy process and will also produce a lovely smell in
the space it is used in, these aromatherapy oils will provide a
solid base for relaxation and inner peace, if used correctly and if
practiced in the right way the home Aromatherapy procedure can
reduce stress levels and increase the harmony and peace in the
house.
Aromatherapy is a way we use odors to promote a state of peace and
wellness, we can help our bodies and minds relax by introducing
certain aromas to our homes, by doing that we will change our
behavior and reduce our stress.
