How to Use Essential Oils for Aromatherapy
Decades before the word aromatherapy was coined, plant oils found use among various civilizations. The Egyptians extracted oil from clove, cinnamon, and cedarwood to make massage oil and embalm dead bodies. Megallus, a perfumer from Greece, made a signature fragrance from myrrh; and the physician, Hippocrates used plant oils for healing. The idea that aromatic plant oils can help in improving physical and psychological health is regarded as laughable in some quarters but many use it as an effective complement to medical treatments while still, some use it solely in treatment as an alternative form of medicine in curing diseases. We all react to scents. While some scents may be irritating to your nostrils, there will be that unique scent (or scents) that evoke positive feelings in you. This is the essence of aromatherapy. Today, you will find proponents of aromatherapy across all the continents; from India to the UK to Australia. Aromatherapy is used in treating health conditions such as chronic stress and anxiety, depression, insomnia, muscle pain, joint pain, respiratory infections, digestive problems, PMS symptoms, skin conditions, blood sugar irregularities, etc. In this book, you will learn the use and application of aromatherapy for promoting relaxation, improving sleep, treating respiratory conditions, improving the skin, managing cancer side effects, reducing fatigue and lethargy, improving libido, improving digestion, and reducing nausea.
