Essential oils have been used in healing since ancient times. They are found in different parts of the plant: petal(rose), leaves (eucalyptus), & roots of grass (vetiver), heartwood (sandalwood), & resin (frankincense). Often referred to as the 'life force' of plants, these oils have within them the unique complex properties of that
plant in a concentrated form that can help the body holistically to heal itself. Through aromatherapy and using the essential oils we can improve both our emotional and physical health. The skin absorbs essential oils therefore, massage is a very effective way of introducing them into the body. All essential oils are anti-bacterial, anti-viral or anti-fungal. Research has shown that aroma affects our emotional senses. This is because the olfactory nerves pass directly from the nose to the limbic system - the emotional centre of the brain. It is always important
to enjoy the smell of the essential oil that we are using, as this will give us emotional balance.
