The Wonders of Essential Oils





Peppermint, Anise, Myrrh, Frankincense, Vanilla…Just to name a few essential oils.

Aromatherapy is the practice of using volatile plant oils for the psychological and physical well being. These oils are called “Essential Oils.” In recent years it has become very trendy to have an aromatherapy session when you have your spa services. The benefits of aromatherapy have been so longed ignored, or viewed as mystical. But these plant oils were put here on earth by God to aid in the healing and comfort of the human body. The essential oils offer a wide and varied range of benefits, headache cures, relaxation, to open sinuses, allergy relief,antiseptic uses and more. Be careful when you are buying items that may say Aromatherapy read the label and make sure they actually contain an essential oil.

Essential oils can be inhaled or placed topically on the skin. The benefit of inhaling essential oils into the lungs offers the most to psychological and physical benefits. It triggers a reaction to the brain, also inhalation by the lungs helps release the therapeutic benefits faster. Physical application on the skin helps it to be absorbed into the bloodstream. The benefits of skin absorption benefits can be helpful with beauty, health and hygiene. *Whenever applying essential oils to the skin make sure they are diluted with a carrier*

Historically the ancient Egyptians and Chinese were the first cultures to use the practice of aromatherapy. They utilized the natural elements that God placed in the earth to give off healing properties. The list of essential oils is extensive.
