The topic of Aromatherapy always seems to draw a lot of attention. At the Nature’s Sunshine National Convention held in Washington, DC from August 20-23, 2008, over 150 people attended the aromatherapy presentation, Custom Blending with Essential Oils: Integrating Herbs and Oils presented by Jennifer Hochell. Attendees received valuable information to help them understand the concepts of aromatherapy, how to use it, why to use and how to easily and effectively incorporate it into daily life. Here are some highlights:
Why Choose Essential oils?
Essential oils offer a wide variety of health benefits such as physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance. It encompasses over 9000 years of history that supports, exemplifies and solidifies the therapeutic properties essential oils have to offer. It is also fun and empowering as it put control back in YOUR hands over YOUR health choices.
Aromatherapy Benefits
Essential oils are powerful tool that may alter, shift , change and adjust mood, emotion and physical issues. It has been historically known to help alleviate stress, skin irritations, depression and anxiety. It also helps our pets achieve over wellness.
Aromatherapy History
Egyptians are famous for employing aromatherapy for their mummification process. The Greeks integrated fragrances (at that time they were 100% pure, undiluted essential oils) into many of their rituals, ceremonies and personal care. Today, you can find some form of aromatherapy in many personal care and cleaning products. It also received prestigious recognition when Richard Axel and Linda Buck (both from the USA) won the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries of odorant receptors and their relationship to the organization of the olfactory system.
Quality of Aromatherapy
Why is quality important? Well, it will dictate the level of therapeutic value as well help reduce your exposure to chemical-based products. It is also important when working to enhance overall health and wellness. For example, you may feel relaxed when smelling a synthetic lavender candle but, the combination of synthetic ingredients may bombard and clog the lymphatic system with toxins rather than assist the body in eliminating toxins.
