- Smell is one of our five basic senses and is strongly associated with mood. Often a brief whiff of a particular fragrance can carry us away to other times and other places. The smell of canvas may remind us of camping holidays in our childhood, the smell of moth balls can bring back memories of Grandma and Grandpa and long-ago visits to their home when we were small. The smell of a young baby can remind us of our own children when they were little. Because smell is governed by the limbic system of the brain, it bypasses the "thinking" system, and therefore aromatherapy oils can play a small but significant role in governing our moods.
- Aromatherapy is the use of pure essential oils to promote physical, emotional, and Spiritual healing. It is an ancient and powerful method of healing. Many of today's essential oils were described in Egyptian writings as early as 2800 BC.
- An essential oil is the fragrant part of a plant which has been extracted from either the leaves, flowers or stems of the plant. Essential oils are very concentrated and most should not be used directly on the skin without first being mixed with a neutral base or carrier oil. Oils such as sweet almond, grapeseed, jojoba or olive can be used as carriers.
