| Aromatherapy Comes of Age | | 2008-05-26 08:30:56 | | Now that we have begun to understand the mystery of smell and its relationship to the brain, what relevance is there for us? Walk into any gift store that sells scented candles, and you’ll often respond with, “Oh, it smells soooo good in here!” We are naturally drawn to things that smell good and scented products attract consumers because they evoke various emotions, thoughts and memories. Even the ancient Egyptians enjoyed the aromas from lit candles, further validating that our attraction to pleasant scents is inherent and not a passing trend. We have progressed, however, from filling our homes with sweet smelling candles to a wide variety of other products intended to satisfy this olfactory need. We no longer have to depend on scented candles or aerosol sprays. Infusers, simmer pots, and plug-ins are just some of the many products that we’re using to scent our homes and workplaces. Aromatherapy is receiving further acclaim by highlighting various types of aromas that produc | | By: Health Care Guide | | |

| Aromatherapy and its Benefits | | 2008-05-07 09:10:00 | | Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that makes use of the body's sense of smell to help boost your mood, relieve stress as well as encourage better health. Aromatherapy uses volatile liquid plant materials called essential oils, and other compounds from plants for the purpose of healing. Various fragrant substances are used during aromatherapy sessions, such as aromatherapy soy candles, and each smell can produce a different result. For example, peppermint and eucalyptus scents are often used to help stimulate the body for people who are feeling sluggish. Lavender and chamomile can have the opposite effect as it helps a person relax. Lemon and rosemary are effective at revitalizing a tired body. Our sense of smell is very powerful. In fact, the body can distinguish around 10,000 different scents! As a scent is inhaled, the smell travels across the olfactory nerves located inside the nose and then up into the part of the brain that controls our moods, our memories and our | | By: Health Care Guide | | |

| Herbal Medicine Aromatherapy history | | 2008-03-17 22:07:56 | | Aromatherapy dates back to ancient cultures more than 5,000 years. In continents like Africa, certain plants were eaten by warriors before going into battle. Most of the time, the healing powers of the plants or barks were observed after animals had consumed the foliage or fruit. The animal’s behavior was observed and humans found that they, too, could get the same effect. Horny goat weed is an example of a plant that has been used for ages to increase fertility in men. Despite the funny sounding name this natural derivative was discovered after horned goats were found getting very frisky and having high energy levels after consuming the plant. It has been used for centuries as a product to treat impotence. While herbal remedies have been used in most countries for thousands of years as a way to stay healthy and combat illness, the concept of aromatherapy, which is using the scented oils derived from the plants to cure and heal, got its roots, so to speak, in the far East.

| Aromatherapy Falls Short, Study Finds | | 2008-03-05 22:36:22 | | (HealthDay News) -- Aromatherapy: It may smell good, but is it actually good for you?Researchers are reporting that two of the most commonly used scents in aromatherapy do nothing to heal wounds, relieve pain or enhance immune status, although one did briefly improve mood.In fact, in some cases, distilled water showed more of a salutary effect, the study found."Keep it in mind before spending a lot of money" on aromatherapy, said study lead author Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, director of the Division of Health Psychology at Ohio State University.

| Aromatherapy Discovery | | 2007-10-29 11:18:00 | | The term "aromatherapy" was first coined in the early part of the twentieth century by the French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé, who used this word to describe the medicinal use of essential oils. In actuality, however, aromatherapy was not a new practice even then; it had always been a part of herbalism. Many traditional remedies had multiple purposes —a single potion often served as cosmetic, perfume and medicine. This is no surprise, since many aromatic herbs that are used as cosmetics are also medicinal.What makes aromatherapy different from herbalism is that it uses only the herbs that contain essential oils. These herbs are easy to identify because they are all fragrant. When you read an herb book, keep in mind that all the medicinal properties found in an herb are not necessarily contained in its essential oil. Most herbs are filled with other compounds in addition to essential oils. However, the essential oils are often responsible for an herb's antiseptic properties, an | | By: Health201concious | | |

| Fragrance Aromatherapy | | 2007-10-28 11:14:00 | | Fragrance captures the attention: the sweet smell of a rose, the enticing aroma of a freshly baked cinnamon apple cake, the appealing scent of a cup of warm peppermint tea, the pleasing fragrance of your favorite perfume. Just the word "aromatherapy" conjures up intriguing images, and with good reason. As much as we take our sense of smell for granted, fragrance affects us in a way that is both primal and provocative.When I first began giving tours through my herb garden in the early 1970s, I couldn't help but notice how each fragrant herb produced its own unique effect. I also observed that each group of visitors responded the same way to particular fragrances. Thelavender inevitably produced smiles, and everyone who sniffed it noticeably relaxed. Chamomile soothed the group even more—so much, in fact, that everyone began speaking much more softly. That is, until they reached thepeppermint bed, which sent them chattering a mile a minute! | | By: Health201concious | | |

| Smudging and Smudge Sticks for Health and Aromatherapy | | 2007-10-14 23:26:53 | | Many of us have used smudge sticks for years and felt it's many benefits. Smudging is such a common, continuous practice that it almost seems modern. Yet smudging is a practice so ancient that we don't know just when or how it came to be. Perhaps quite by chance or by internal inspiration people have come to realize that the smoke from burning particular herbs had emotional, cognitive, and even physical benefits. Modern science has proven that the smoke from some herbs have cleansing effects changing the molecular structure of air and energy. In fact the aroma of sage has been found to actually increase the oxygen supply to the brain and also produce a physical relaxation of muscle tension.We have come to experience that smudging has a purification benefit for our bodies, our living space and our consciousness. Some of us have come to believe that the smoke from burning some herbs acts like a messenger to realities and energies beyond our conscious comprehension and understanding.

| Aromatherapy and Acne | | 2007-07-05 12:11:28 | | Yes, acne can be a big nuisance. Nobody likes being seen in public with a disfigured face. But do you know that this problem can have a nice, fragrant solution? No? Yes, it is a fact that aromatherapy is an effective means of treating acne.
For a long time, people have known the healing effects of aromatherapy in treating acne. Aromatherapy involves using oils derived from parts of plants to heal various maladies. These oils are known as essential oils. The most effective acne treatment involves using the tea tree essential oil.
A study was published by the Medical Journal of Australia 1990, in which tea tree essential oil and benzoyl peroxide were compared. 124 participants were administered a 5% tea tree oil gel or 5% benzoyl peroxide lotion. Both the treatments were proved to be effective in treating acne outbreaks and blemishes. However those participants who were administered tea tree oil had lower instances of side effects than those who were administered benzoyl peroxide lotion | | By: Ambitiuosly Inquisitive Tips and Tricks | | |

| Aromatherapy in History | | 2007-04-28 07:00:00 | | American chronicleThe Romans developed the Egyptian and Greek techniques for distillation and extraction of aromatic floral waters taking advantage of their knowledge of the natural medicines. The most well-known physician of that age was the Greek Claudius Galen (circa 150 AD) who after studying herbal medicine and treating hundreds of wounded gladiators with botanical remedies, he became the personal physician of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.
The next important step in the history of Aromatherapy was made by the Persian civilization. Ibn Sina, a great physician of the age, known in Europe as Avicenna (circa 1000 AC), invented a pipe which steam distilled the plants and produced true essential oils and not aromatic waters as in the past... | | By: The Flower Expert - Flowers Encyclopedia | | |
