A basic introduction to a popular therapy!

Aromatherapy provides a wonderful way of improving our ability to manage stress, relieve tension, and increase our ability to heal or to maintain our health and our vitality. Aromatherapy essential oils are extracted from plant matter and they are highly volatile and of course, evaporate quickly if left open. Different parts of the plants are used to extract the aromatherapy oils.  Petals, leaves and roots are all used and the essences accumulate in the plants oil glands, manufacturing costs understandably increase due to the extraction process and the amount of oil contained within the oil glands.

To find out more about this therapy, purchase a good book or take time to have a look at the many informative sites on the internet. The subject of aromatherapy is a complex one, however, it takes very little knowledge to begin to use the oils and as experience and knowledge increases, those interested in learning more can begin to use aromatherapy in a variety of different and useful ways.

The oils can be used in the following ways:

-    Oil burners
-    Diffusers
-    Massage
-    Steam inhalation
-    Candles
-    First aid
-    Around the house

Getting to know the oils and their individual qualities is one of the first requirements to those wanting to use them. Oils can be selected for their qualities or for their individual aromas but it is important that all of the contra-indications are taken into account prior to use. With the exception of lavender oil or tea tree oil, all oils must be mixed with a good carrier oil such as almond oil. Oils can also be blended easily and stored in dark glass bottles. Blended oils can keep for up to several years if stored in a dark place away from direct sunlight or artificial light.

Oils can also be used around the house in a number of ways, added to oil burners, diffusers or even candles, the aroma can then be circulated easily for mood enhancement or for relaxation purposes for example or they can be used to freshen cupboards or even laundry. Whatever your individual need, there will be a perfect aromatherapy oil for you.
