True Aromatherapy is Essential Oils. It is not chemically or synthetically produced; so just because the
label says Aromatherapy does not make it so. But neither do you have to purchase Young Living Oils to get the same (or better)
results as with reasonably priced theraputic grade essential oils. I grade my oils by results, and so far they are outstanding; but
I will not say it was an easy process weeding out the bad ones. I have poured out expensive bottles of oil as soon as I took
the lid off; and I have been blessed with high grade oils at good prices. Everyone should have acsess to the benefits
of these oils and I hope to teach you how to incorporate them into your everyday life.

History of
AromatherapyAromatherapy, while relatively new to the Western World,
goes back a long way. Although the term essential oil is a recent one, civilizations have been using incense, perfumes
and cosmetics for thousands of years. Herbs and spices have been used in cooking for a long time, but their use has often
been linked to both religious and medicinal purposes. Indian literature, dating from around 2000BC mentions the use of cinnamon,
ginger, myrrh, coriander and sandalwood. The Chinese have a long tradition of alternative medicine. Aromatherapy is just one
of a number of treatments which include acupuncture, reflexology and herbal remedies. The Egyptians were renowned for their
herbal potions and ointments. Temples were filled with incense. Corpses were embalmed in oils of cedar and myrrh. Egyptian
women wore perfume. Greece and Rome were introduced to the riches of the far-away places. Camphor from China, Cinnamon from
India, Gums from Arabia.
Much of the knowledge gained by earlier civilizations was lost to Europe during the Dark
Ages. The Arabs excelled in the manufacture of perfumes during the thirteenth century. During the Middle Ages, infectious
diseases such as the plague were fought off with aromatic plants strewn across floors. Lavender water was available in the
sixteenth century at the local apothecary. It was a time of alchemists embarking on mystical quests to turn base metals into
gold, and for others to distil the quintessence from aromatic materials. Not until the end of the seventeenth century
was the distinction between perfumes and aromatics made clear, with alchemy giving way to chemistry as more and more became
understood about the nature of matter. The scientific revolution of the early nineteenth century saw the birth of the modern
drug industry. During the twentieth century, essential oils were moved away from therapeutic use into perfumes, cosmetics
and foodstuffs.
How do they work? Aromatherapy uses the sense of smell, and simply by smelling
an oil an olfactory response is elicited. Smell is the least understood of the five senses, and yet it is perhaps the most
powerful. The
olfactory membrane is the only place in the human body where the central nervous system is exposed to the outside environment.
Upon smelling an aroma, an impulse travels along the olfactory nerve directly to the limbic part of the brain. The limbic
brain is responsible for evoking memory, emotions, hunger response and sexual arousal. Before we consciously know that we
are in contact with an aroma, our subconscious mind has already received it and reacted to it. On the level of the emotions, essential
oils can be uplifting, soothing, stimulating, refreshing, and calming. An article in the British medical journal Lancet reported
that patients suffering from insomnia fell asleep more quickly when exposed to lavender aroma. The Memorial Sloan Kettering
Cancer Center has also experimented with aromatherapy on patients undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Those patients
who complained of claustrophobia, while spending an hour in the magnetic capsule, felt less anxiety and discomfort when the
aroma of vanilla was introduced. Aromatherapy is just as effective in healing the body. The molecular structure of an
essential oil is tiny, which allows it to pass through the skin and directly into the bloodstream where it can affect the
organs and other body systems. For instance, massage oil with Geranium Rose balances hormones
and relieves fluid retention, in addition to relieving anxiety, depression and stress. Rosemary stimulates circulation particularly
in those who have chronically cold hands and feet, and peppermint aids in digestion.
