Aromatherapy & Essential Oils |
|
Aromatherapy involves the use of pure essential oils that are extracted from various plants, flowers, trees, bark, roots, grasses, seeds, and fruits. It is an ancient practice that dates back 6,000 years and was used by the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures. These therapeutic essential oils have quite an impact on the central nervous system via the olfactory nerves. Aromatherapy is used to treat anxiety, tension, fatigue and can promote relaxation or elevate your mood. It's been claimed to aid in digestion and alleviate pain. Many of the oils are very strong and it is recommended that you consult an aroma therapist or research before use.

The Aroma Therapy Kit Charla Deverux |
Review:
A wonderous kit for all "budding"
Aromatherapists! Very well written explanation of "What is
Aromatherapy", gives "user-friendly" explanations of the chemical
properties of the oils, extraction methods & cautions for using specific
oils. The "A-Z of Essential Oils" Chapter explains the origin of the
specific oil, its main constituents, qualities, traditional uses &
cautions. Also, included are "must have" charts that give info on
application and use of oils for specific ailments. There is also a
chapter that teaches how each application is performed. This book has
been like a bible for me. A complete source book for all budding
Aromatherapists. I highly recommend it. Information provided by Amazon.com - patron review |
