Essential arromatic oils are either enhaled or absorbed through the skin during massage. Arometherapy is effective for a variety of problems but are most effective when used to treat emotional or stress related conditions.
Aromatherapy is a natural, non-invasive treatment system designed to affect the whole person not just the symptom or disease and to assist the body’s natural ability to balance, regulate, heal and maintain itself. It does this by enhancing the individual’s innate healing process with the correct use of essential oils. The term “aromatherapie” was named by Rene Maurice Gattefosse in 1928. He used this word to imply the therapeutic use of aromatic essences (essential oils). Since the beginning of Aromatherapy, the practice has encompassed human pathology and the treatment of different conditions (emotional and physical) with essential oils.
Whether absorbed through the skin or inhaled, once the aromatherapy oils are in the bloodstream and body fluids, the essence may have a pharmacological effect even though the amount absorbed is minute. Gattefosse asserts that essential oils are diluted to a degree at which no longer have any effect on living cultures in the laboratory still has a clear, rapid and extremely beneficial action on the human body. This therefore indicates that essential oils are immuno-stimulants or bio catalysts to heal and restore homeostasis in the body.

Aromatherapy
traces it's heritge back to several ancient cultures the most well
known of which is ancient Egypt but the practise is believed to
have been widespread throughout the middle and far eastern early
civilisations.
From
a natural health and healing perspective, Aromatherapy can be defined
as the art of using naturally extracted aromatic essences (or essential
oils) from plants and trees to balance, harmonize and promote the
health of the body, mind and spirit.
Aromatic
essences or essential oils are highly concentrated substances that
are extracted from various parts of aromatic plants and trees. The
chemistry of aromatherapy and essential oils is complex but due
to their tiny molecular structure, essential oils that are applied
to the skin or inhaled can be absorbed or entered into the bloodstream
very rapidly. Once in the bloodstream, the aromatic molecules work
by interacting with the body’s chemistry.All Rights Reserved Natural Earth Media (c) 2006-
