holistic, physical and psychological experience.
Introduction to Aromatherapy “ When we peel an orange, walk through a rose garden or rub lavender between our fingers, we are all aware of the special scent of that plant. But what exactly is it that we smell? Generally speaking, it is essential oils which give spices and herbs their specific scent and flavour, flowers and fruit their perfume” ( Julia Lawless, 1992)
What are essential oils? All essential oils are all extracted from flowers, herbs, trees or spices. They are organic compounds that occur naturally in a wide variety of different species, and can be found in leaves (rosemary), blossoms (rose), fruits (orange), wood (cedar)resin (Frankincense).
The term “ aromatherapy” was first used in the 1920s, but the knowledge of how to extract and apply essential oils is very ancient art. The ancient Egyptian, Indian, Chinese cultures made use of many aromatic oils. Recently, the benefits of natural products are being re-assessed and re-evaluated. Introducing plant botanical aromatics back into our lifestyle presents a healthy and enjoyable alternative to the many synthetic fragrances with which we are surrounded.
