Essential Oils and Aromatherapy

• Steam Distillation:

The most commonly used technique to isolate essential oils from most herbs, grasses, roots and trees

• Expression:

  Citrus fruits are pressed, yielding essential oils of Bergamot, lemon, orange, etc.

• Extraction:

  CO2 - the best solvent leading to pure and superior essential oils

  Organic solvents - may leave chemical residues and are considered problematic

NOTE: only products based on pure and unadulterated essential oils should be called Aromatherapy. Unless it is 100% pure, it is NOT Aromatherapy. Synthetic products will not have the same healing effects and may have adverse effects.

How Aromatherapy Works

• Emotional Level:

  • Smelling the scent
  • Triggers a response in the mimbic brain
  • Immediately changes the mood, relieving depression, renewing joy and balance

 

• Mental Level:

• Essential oils absorb through the mucous membranes
• Can pass the blood-brain barrier and affect the brain directly
• Relieving anxiety and stress, correcting imbalances, neutralizing nervous tension, stimulating and focusing the brain

 

• Physical Level:

• Absorbed through the skin during massage or bath
• Nourishes the skin and absorbs into the blood stream
• Directly affecting organs, clearing sinuses, strengthening the immune system, balancing blood pressure, stimulating blood flow and circulation, reducing inflammation and removing toxins.
