Aromatherapy falls into the domain of complementary medicine. It is used, not just to aid relaxation but it is increasingly being accepted, that it can have some therapeutic value, whether this is actual or just psychological. Aromatherapy uses a variety of oils which over time have been shown to have an affect on the well being of people. Oils and other natural substances are increasingly found in everyday food and drinks, and indeed Coca-Cola was first advertised as a nerve tonic by John Pemberton during the late 1800’s. Coca-Cola contains the oils of oranges, lemon, nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander, neroli and finally an unknown secret called “7X”. What aromatherapy attempts to do is to use a blend of natural oils to aid the therapy of people using them for different reasons. This site will discuss many different aspects of Aromatherapy and will include recipes for using oils in different ways. |
