As a holistic treatment, aromatherapy can have a profound effect on physical and psychological well-being. There exists the belief that smell as the most enduring of our senses, has the power to transform our emotions, and heal our bodies.

The essential oils used in aromatherapy are extracted from plants and herbs to treat conditions ranging from infections and skin disorders to immune deficiencies and stress. When aromas are detected in the nasal cavity, impressions associated with previous experiences and emotions are created. Combining this with the fact that the parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels and hormone balance are also related to the nasal cavity, it is evident that the use of essential oils contributes to and achieves many physiological or psychological effects.

The benefits of essential oils can be obtained through inhalation or by external application and could help congestion/colds, calming emotions and nightmares, menopausal problems & PMS, sore or injured muscle, relaxation, quick energy, uterine tonic and aids in contractions during childbirth, digestive troubles (esp. due to tension), dry skin, a strong disinfectant, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal.
