AROMATHERAPY

Aromatherapy incorporates the use of Essential Oils to effect change in the mind and body. 

“Essential oils are volatile substances that are extracted from different parts of a plant.  Most citrus oils are pressed from the rind; according to the particular plant, some oils are distilled from the flowers, stem or root.  These oils are very complex; they contain numerous chemical elements that interact with human and animal metabolism.  It is the molecular structure of the oils that make them particularly effective as healing agents.  They have a similar and compatible molecular structure to that of our blood cells, rendering them easily recognized and assimilated by the body... (from “7 Steps to Healing & Wellness, Using Essential Oils and the Kybalion as a Guide” (P22) by Dr. Nalani).

The olfactory nerves connect directly from the nose to the brain.  These nerves give essential oil molecules direct access to the brain—particularly the emotional center, the limbic area of the brain.  This is why certain aromas can trigger memories, and it is also why aromatherapy is such an effective tool to help restore balance and wellness.
