Aromatherapy information

Aromatherapy utilizes the sense of smell to elicit balance mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It can be used for relaxation, reduce stress, and remove emotional blockages. It can also energize and invigorate ones energy. It works on a cellular level, affecting the whole person; mind, body, emotion, and spirit. Helping one to balance their energy, moving out of dis-ease, and creating wellness.

When you inhale a scent it goes up through your nose into your Limbic system. The Limbic system is connected to our autonomic functions, such as, heart rate, blood pressure, and is also involved in emotion, motivation, and behavior. It is also the part of the brain that processes the integration of all functions related to all personal experiences/memories one has ever had. This is why aromatherapy is so helpful in creating wellness.

When I have my diffuser filled with lavender everyone in the room is peaceful. It causes a calming affect. One that lowers your blood pressure, and heart rate. To motivate and invigorate me I use lemon, cypress, or grapefruit. This always gives me the extra pep I need to get going(especially when cleaning the house).

There are a variety of different ways you can receive the therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy. Try using aromatherapy soaps, candles, sprays, oils, diffusers. Explore and have fun!

When exploring the use of aromatherapy it is recommended to purchase organic pure essential oils. Whether your purchasing candles, oils, or sprays, look at the labels. Make sure they do not contain any petroleum, perfumes, or chemicals. They will not contain the healing properties when they are not in pure form or are contaminated with other man-made ingredients. Look for Organic 100% pure. Read the ingredients!

*** Please seek the consultation of a professionally trained aromatherapist before trying any treatments. The essential oils are very concentrated and each one has recommendations on how they are to be used and applied, and can be contraindicated for certain people example: pregnant people are not recommended to use peppermint, rosemary or clary sage (just to name a few). So please consult an aromatherapist who can guide you with oils and your conditions. As always seek the advice of your medical practitioner before using any over the counter or holistic remedy.

When purchasing aromatherapy products, buy organic,that way you receive all of the therapeutic benefits. I highly recommend mountain rose herbs. They have a great selection of aromatherapy items and their products are organic.
