Aromatherapy has been practiced since ancient times, dating back at least 5,000 years. Experts claim that the ancient Egyptians were the first to practice aromatherapy. They recognized the physical and spiritual properties of these essential oils and used them in their daily lives. Aromatherapy was reintroduced in the 20th century in France.
Today, more than a thousand doctors in France use aromatherapy in their practice. Essential oils can be anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. They are powerful antioxidants. Their molecules are so small that they quickly penetrate the skin tissues and can affect every cell in the body in 20 minutes.
The needs of each individual guide the selection of the oils, which are a powerful healing catalyst. They may help deepen the process of Self-discovery, draw toxins from the body, balance emotions and hormones, stimulate the immune system, and relieve stress. These oils also help increase oxygen and boost the immune system. Overall, they bring a greater feeling of well being. |
