| Aromatherapy |
Aromatherapy means "treatment using scents". It is a holistic treatment of caring for the body.. The essential oils are added to the
bath or massaged into the skin, inhaled directly or diffused to scent an entire room. Aromatherapy is used for the relief of pain, care
for the skin, alleviate tension and fatigue and invigorate the entire body. Essential oils can affect the mood, alleviate fatigue, reduce
anxiety and promote relaxation. When inhaled, they work on the brain and nervous system through stimulation of the olfactory
nerves.
The essential oils are aromatic essences extracted from plants, flowers, trees, fruits, bark, grasses and seeds with distinctive
therapeutic, psychological, and physiological properties, which improve and prevent illness. There are about 150 essential oils. Most
of these oils have antiseptic properties; some are antiviral, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, antidepressant and expectorant. Other
properties of the essential oils which are taken advantage of in aromatherapy are their stimulation, relaxation, digestion
improvement, and diuretic properties. To get the maximum benefit from essential oils, it should be made from natural, pure raw
materials. Synthetically made oils do not work.
Aromatherapy is one of the fastest growing fields in alternative medicine. It is widely used at home, clinics and hospitals for a variety
of applications such as relieving pain caused by the side effects of the chemotherapy undergone by the cancer patients, and
rehabilitation of cardiac patients.
From Wikipedia
Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile liquid plant materials, known as essential oils (EOs), and other
aromatic compounds from plants for the purpose of affecting a person's mood or health. Scientific evidence is weak and preliminary
but mildly encouraging for a limited number of claims. Essential oils differ in chemical composition from other herbal products
because the distillation process only recovers the lighter phytomolecules. For this reason essential oils are rich in monoterpenes and
sesquiterpenes, as well as other VOC substances (esters, aromatic compounds, non-terpene hydrocarbons, some organic sulfides
etc.).
Aromatherapy is a generic term that refers to any of the various traditions that make use of essential oils sometimes in combination
with other alternative medical practices and spiritual beliefs. Popular use of these products include massaging products, medicine, or
any topical application that incorporates the use of essential oils to their products. It has a particularly Western currency and
persuasion. Medical treatment involving aromatic compounds may exist outside of the West, but may or may not be included in the
term 'aromatherapy'.
Aromatherapy is the treatment or prevention of disease by use of essential oils. Two basic mechanisms are offered to explain the
purported effects. One is the influence of aroma on the brain, especially the limbic system through the olfactory system. The other is
the direct pharmacological effects of the essential oils.[1] While precise knowledge of the synergy between the body and aromatic
oils is often claimed by aromatherapists, the efficacy of aromatherapy remains to be proven. However, some preliminary clinical
studies show positive effects.[2][3]
In the English-speaking world, practitioners tend to emphasize the use of oils in massage. Aromatherapy tends to be regarded as a
complementary modality at best and a pseudoscientific fraud at worst.[4]
On the continent, especially in France, where it originated, aromatherapy is incorporated into mainstream medicine. There, the use
of the antiseptic, antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties of oils in the control of infections is emphasized over the
approaches familiar to North Americans. In France some essential oils are regulated as prescription drugs, and thus administered by
a physician. French doctors use a technique called the aromatogram to guide their decision on which essential oil to use. First the
doctor cultures a sample of infected tissue or secretion from the patient. Next the growing culture is divided among petri dishes
supplied with agar. Each petri dish is inoculated with a different essential oil to determine which have the most activity against the
target strain of microorganism. The antiseptic activity manifests as a pattern of inhibited growth.[5][6]
In many countries essential oils are included in the national pharmacopoeia, but up to the present moment aromatherapy as science
has never been recognized as a valid branch of medicine in the United States, Russia, Germany, or Japan.
Essential oils, phytoncides and other natural VOCs work in different ways. At the scent level they activate the limbic system and
emotional centers of the brain. When applied to the skin (commonly in form of "massage oils" i.e. 1-10% solutions of EO in carrier oil)
they activate thermal receptors, and kill microbes and fungi. Internal application of essential oil preparations (mainly in
pharmacological drugs; generally not recommended for home use apart from dilution - 1-5% in fats or mineral oils, or hydrosoles)
may stimulate the immune system.
