Aromatherapy |
| Aromatherapy is the use of ultra-pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils to promote
physical, emotional and spiritual well being. They can be applied
topically, inhaled, and even ingested.
Essential oils are some of the oldest and most concentrated natural extracts known, exerting significant antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, hormonal and psychological effects. They have the ability to penetrate cell membranes, travel throughout the blood and tissues, and enhance electrical frequencies. When topically applied, they can travel throughout the body in a matter of minutes. The ability of essential oils to act on both the mind and the body is what makes them truly unique. They have a chemical structure that is similar to that found in human cells and tissues, which makes them compatible with human protein and enables them to be readily identified and accepted by the body. The powerful life force inherent in many essential oils gives them an unmatched ability to communicate and interact with the cells of the human body. Amazingly, their very complexity keeps them from disturbing the body’s natural balance, or homeostasis; if one constituent exerts too strong an effect, another constituent may block or counteract it. It cannot be emphasized enough that only pure, therapeutic-grade oils be used. I use only Young Living Essential Oils in my practice because the purity and quality are impeccable.
