Essential oils are highly concentrated pure oils derived from herbs and flowers. Not all plants produce essential oils and they are present in different quantities in different plants. It takes about 12 lemons to produce an ounce of lemon essential oil and over 2000 pounds of rose petals to produce an ounce of rose essential oil.

One of the oldest uses of perfumes comes from the burning of incense and aromatic herbs used in religious services, often the aromatic gums, frankincense and myrrh, gathered from trees. The Egyptians were the first to incorporate perfume into their culture followed by the ancient Chinese, Hindus, Israelites, Carthaginians, Arabs, Greeks, and Romans. The earliest use of perfume bottles is Egyptian and dates to around 1000 BC. The Egyptians invented glass and perfume bottles were one of the first common uses for glass.

Each essential oil has unique psychological influences and medicinal properties. Pure essential oils act upon the olfactory senses (our sense of smell) sending direct messages to the brain. The different aromas have the ability to produce changes in our emotions by triggering memories and the release of endorphins in the brain. Endorphins are hormone-like chemicals that can produce gratifying sensations, euphoria and a sense of well-being.

Many essential oils contain the healing qualities of the plant and can be used to aid healing of cuts, wounds, burns, bacterial and fungal infections through topical application or inhalation.

When you shop for essential oils make sure it is labeled pure essential oil. If the label says fragrance, aromatic oil, scented oil, or perfume you are probably buying a synthetic blend. Synthetic fragrances do not have the same aromatherapy properties as essential oils and may contain harmful chemicals. Essential Oils come from nature; the oils are distilled from the actual plant. Fragrance Oils are manmade.

Almost all essential oils should be diluted before use. Some are very irritating to the skin full strength. Never use essential oils internally without direction from your holistic doctor.
 

What is Aromatherapy?

     Aromatherapy is the application of essential oils for therapeutic purposes. Oils may be applied to stimulate healing in both humans and animals. They may also be applied to maintain existing health, promoting wellness and optimal well-being physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

     The essential oils of aromatherapy are extracted from aromatic plants and herbs -- from the flower, bark, root, twig, seed, berry, rhizome or leaves -- generally through a process of steam distillation.

The History of Aromatherapy:

     Essential oils are God's natural medicine and have been recognized and used by humans for over 5,000 years that we know of. Essential oils are mentioned over 500 times in the Bible and were used by Moses, Aaron, Mary and Joseph. Jesus also received and used them, teaching his disciples to anoint the sick with oil and heal them. (Mark 6:12-13).

      The history of the ancient Egyptians is also rich with references of the use of aromatic herbs and essential oils. Essential oils were used to adorn their bodies, maintain health, and as part of their religious ceremonies.

     Hippocrates, the father of medicine, advised his patients to take a bath and massage daily with essential oils to maintain good health. 

     Before the 1900s all perfumes were made from essential oils. But, when synthetic fragrances were developed around 1930, aromatherapy and the perfume industry parted company. Today only a very small number of perfumes are produced from pure essential oils.

What are the Benefits?

     Each essential oil has unique psychological influences and medicinal properties. Pure essential oils act upon the olfactory senses (our sense of smell) sending direct messages to the brain. The different aromas have the ability to produce changes in our emotions by triggering memories and the release of endorphins in the brain. Endorphins are hormone-like chemicals that can produce gratifying sensations, euphoria and a sense of well-being.

     Many essential oils contain the healing qualities of the plant and can be used to aid healing of cuts, wounds, burns, bacterial and fungal infections through topical application or inhalation. Pure Essential Oils are prescribed in Great Britain and throughout Europe for their medicinal benefits. Modern scientific research has proven the potency and healing qualities of Pure Essential Oils.

Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, they do not leave behind dangerous toxins.

     Almost all essential oils should be diluted before use. Some are very irritating to the skin full strength. Never use essential oils internally without direction from your holistic doctor.
