Modern day scientific research has been, and continues
to be performed which verifies not only the emotional but the physical
benefits that aromatherapy provides.
Through research and awareness we have come to better
understand and appreciate what nature has to offer us. We know the
effects of "clear cutting" our forests and polluting our skies. And
we ask for change. We realize that in order to sustain this earth,
for the generations far beyond ours, we have to preserve, and protect
it. At the same time, we know that we need to look after
ourselves.
We are all seeking answers for the illnesses that pervade
our society, and the stresses that this fast paced modern life place
on us. Conventional medicine has given us some of those answers in
the form of prescription drugs and surgery, but still, we ask for more.
With growing health care costs and the sometimes impersonal
quality of conventional medicine, we have turned to nature to find
the answers to our questions. We have realized that we must take personal responsibility
for our health and strive to educate ourselves on living more balanced
lives.
Therapies and medicines that were once viewed as alternative,
cloaked in a shroud of skepticism, have risen from the shadows, providing
a complement to conventional medicine. Aromatherapy is one such example, and a very powerful
one, of a complementary therapy widely practiced today.
For some of us, we don't even know we're doing it. When you burned that scented candle last week, you were
practicing Aromatherapy. When you walk through a fragrant garden, you
are doing it again! In fact, virtually all of the bath and body care
products we use contain some form of essential oils - the basis of
Aromatherapy.
This is one of the reasons Aromatherapy is so popular
today. It is easy to practice, readily available, and effective as
a therapy. The information you need to get started is right at your
