Since before recorded history, botanicals - in the form of
essential oil - have been used for medicinal healing and
spiritual and religious ceremonies. Ancient civilizations used
herbal fragrances in everything from embalming to architecture,
as well as for baths and perfumes. Rene-Maurice Gattefosse, a
French cosmetic chemist, coined the term "aromatherapy" in the
early 1900s, when he discovered the healing properties of
lavender.
Today, essential oils from plants are used both in their pure
forms and as ingredients in many cosmetic, body, and bath
products. There are different theories about the psychological
and
physical benefits imparted by specific herbs and other
botanicals, yet there's no question that scents have an impact
on our moods and sense of well being-one whiff of chocolate chip
cookies baking can immediately transport us to the cozy comfort
of our mom's kitchen. So consider adding a little scent to your
life, and relax and enjoy the benefits you receive.
Essential oils can be used in many ways (but never take them
internally!). Here are a few suggestions:
Bath: In warm water, essential oils are absorbed through your
skin, and the aromatherapeutic vapors are effortlessly
inhaled.
Massage: Essential oils penetrate into skin tissues and are
circulated throughout the body.
Skin Care: When diluted with other products, essential oils can
rejuvenate and moisturize your skin.
Hair Care: Essential oils can strengthen and stimulate your hair
follicles, and can add shine to your hair.
Inhalation: Whether a spritz on your pillow, a few drops on a
tissue, or in a vaporizer, inhaling essential oils is the
easiest method to enjoy their benefits.
Diffusion: Essential oils can enhance your environment via
sprays,
air fresheners, and diffusers.
The essential oil of each plant has a distinct property and use.
Here are metaphysical and medicinal uses for some essential
oils.
