It is an ancient art of using aromatic essential oils. It is a scientific and creative process.
This can be particularly important for stress related issues. Essential oils have a positive
effect on all levels of the mind, body, and spirit. Essential oils are distilled from organic
flowers, leaves, roots, wood, or fruit of the plants. Using essential oils is an excellent way
to restore balance of both body and mind. Direct inhalation is useful when immediate relief is
needed. During a massage, oils are absorbed through the skin. They then dissolve in the fluids
of the body and flow through the lymphatic and blood systems. Thetherapist will select the
appropriate essential oils to treat you as an individual. One of the benefits to the mind is that
the aromas stimulate the part of the brain that affects emotions. The impression of each
differentaroma is sent directly to the limbic system, (the place where memories are stored and
pleasure and emotions are perceived). When the limbic system is stimulated, it releases
chemicals that affect the central nervous system.
