Have you heard about aromatherapy but really don't know what it is? Or are you just confused about where aromatherapy came from and what it's use is? Lets consider a little about the history and uses of aromatherapy.
The terms was first coined by a French chemist in 1920 and refers to the use of various naturally occurring plant substances and in particular oils distilled from plants called essential oils. The chemist was Maurice Gattefosse and he "discovered" the healing properties of essential oils following a fire in his laboratory. At the time he had a vat of lavendar oil there as he was studying the use of essential oils.
There was a fire at the laboratory and his arm was burnt, so he plunged his arm into the vat of lavender oil, experiencing immediate pain relief from the burns. Not only that but the burns healed very fast and left virtually no scarring.
The work of Maurice Gattefosse was followed up by other scientists during the Second World War when many soldiers were burnt and also experienced various other serious wounds. Research was started into the use of natural plant oils called essential oils on burns and also on healing wounds.
The art of aromatherapy under different names has been around for thousands of years. It is the art of using scents from various plant substances, now essential oils, to produce pleasant and sometimes healing effects on people with various conditions.
However, despite claims to the contrary, aromatherapy is not actually a "cure" for any particular diseases. Rather what it does is to help sufferers of illnesses cope with their illnesses by aiding their mental state.
But it is true that there are a range of psychological benefits from a positive psychological sense that comes from the use of a range of beautiful smelling essential plant oils. This improves the mental outlook of the person, reduces fear and anxiety and helps them cope better with the illness
And in some cases it can also help reduce their dependence on some prescription drugs, for example some pain killers, sleeping tablets, indigestion cures, skin care solutions and so on.
Different people have different reactions to the scents from different plant oils. Many people actually utilize the principles of aromatherapy right now without even knowing it. Many, for example, fill out home with various oils and perfumes because they like the smell. They are using the principles of aromatherapy will stop
Maybe it's you that has an illness that you are dealing with. I won't claim that aromatherapy will be a magic cure. It isn't. However don't give up on aromatherapy just because it won't cure the disease. It can still do many magical things fir your overall psychological well-being and mental state. It is that affect will help you deal with your illness.
