The book is a fascinating blend of ancient and modern knowledge and aromatherapists will find it an essential tool of reference. Extensive notes are provided by Robert Tisserand at the back of the book.

Download or read book The Art of Healthy Aromatherapy written by Saludable Mente and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For body and mind Today, aromatherapy is a widely practiced complementary medicine that uses essential oils from aromatic plants, flowers, leaves, seeds, barks, and fruits to help cure. The essential oils are usually extracted by a steam distillation process and are often used: Holistically, where the oils are used (often with massage) to treat emotional and physical disorders Clinically, used in combination with official medical treatments. Aesthetically, where they are perhaps most widely used, where the oils are used in burners or diffusers at home or added to baths. How does it work? Aromatherapy acts on our sense of smell and through absorption into the bloodstream. About 15 percent of the air we inhale is directed to the roof of the nose, where olfactory receptors carry the odors directly to a part of the brain called the limbic system. "It is believed that ancient civilizations used aromatherapy in many ways and for many reasons, such as massage, baths, as medicine and even for embalming bodies. This area is connected to instinct, mood and emotion and it is believed that aromatherapy can stimulate the release of chemicals that play a role in the release of emotions (think how even the simple smell of floor wax can quickly take you back to the classroom). What is the history of aromatherapy? It is believed that ancient civilizations used "aromatherapy" in many ways and for many reasons such as massage, baths, as medicine and even for embalming bodies. The concept was probably used originally and at the same time in China, Egypt, the Middle East and by the Native Americans, being later introduced in Europe by the Romans. The practice of modern aromatherapy was mainly attributed to the French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé. He began researching the healing powers of essential oils in the first quarter century after observing how lavender oil seemed to aid in the healing of a severe burn on one hand. He also published the first treatise on the subject in 1937: "Gattefossé's Aromatherapy," a publication still available today. The word aromatherapy comes from the Greek, from the words "aroma" meaning fragrance or pleasant smell and "therapeia" meaning healing. Can aromatherapy really be used to cure illnesses? Aromatherapy seems to have its most beneficial effect on minor ailments, digestive problems, premenstrual syndrome, stress-related diseases, and some skin problems. Some essential oils such as tea tree oil are widely used for their antiseptic properties. It is extremely unlikely that aromatherapy will cure major diseases, so we do not recommend its use in these cases as a substitute for conventional medicine. However, it can be used to relieve the psychological stress experienced by people suffering from a serious condition.
