🌹AROMATHERAPY🌹
Now there will be lots of words, but you can find answers to your questions there!
The word “Aromatherapy” nowadays is really popular and widely used in absolutely different meanings and combinations.
So WHAT is Aromatherapy officially (will not call it “scientifically” but pretty close to it) and WHY it really works.
Aromatherapy is the practice of using Essential Oils (natural plant extracts) for therapeutic benefit.
Historically plants were used for treating different conditions for centuries. In different times and cultures people were using different ways to get benefits from the plants – brewing, drying making extracts, mixes, applying exactly onto the body, drinking, inhaling and so on and so forth.
The modern aromatherapy uses Essential Oils (EO) – concentrated hydrophobic liquid, extracted from the plant using modern technologies. This concentrate contains a large amount of volatile (easily evaporated at normal temperatures) molecules of chemical compounds, which, thanks to their size and volatility, goes straight to your body (in comparison with taking a pill, which first get to your stomach or intestines and there already chemical compounds in some amount will go to your system… or may be not).
WHY Aromatherapy works?
That is simple – because of their volatility and concentration which get to your system (that what mentioned above) and, as bonus knowledge, if you get into the chemical compounds of different EO, you will see same chemicals which are often used in modern pharmacology.
What can Aromatherapy help with?
OOOOh! Lots and lots! It can help to balance your mood waves (calm you down and prepare for the sleep or give you more energy if you are on the low track in the middle of the day and many other options), help to deal with inflammations, bacterial diseases, different skin conditions, pain (headaches, muscular, some internals, PMS), detoxification, cold, some hormonal issues and so on and so forth.
WHY do you need a specialist in aromatherapy?
Well, not necessarily. If you understand essential oils on the level of compounds and their combinations – you do not need anyone to use them. BUT if you are not sure, better to consult with specialist. Essential oils can influence your permanent medication and/or chronic conditions or give some side effects to you or those who live with you (including pets!). Also almost all Essential oils have their contraindications – they are concentrated remedy, remember!
CAN YOU USE ESSENTIAL OILS INSTEAD OF MEDICATION YOU WERE BRISCRIBED?
NO!!! That is addition, not substitution. If you have a prescription for the medicine, do not cancel it without the permission of your doctor.
PS Some doctors have knowledge of EO and you can just ask if you can use them instead. BUT DO NOT CANCEL WITHOUT YOUR DOCTOR!
And the last one: QUALITY of ESSENTIAL OIL MATTERS. While it is strong concentrated mix of chemical molecules you want to know what exactly you are getting into your body! #ароматерапия #ароматерапияизраиль
