Is aromatherapy a myth?

Aromatherapy has been in existence for almost 3500 years and its use in our lives is as old as the dawn of civilization. It is the exotic art, and science, of using oils extracted from aromatic plants and herbs to enhance health, emotional well being and beauty. Apart from its physical and mental advantages, essential oils can have soothing effects on the mind and emotions.

The essential oils taken from plants and employed in Aromatherapy have been described as their "critical factors" - they are needed critically for the plants' biological process, as well as being the substance which gives them their scent and aroma. Synthetic oil, even if chemically similar, lacks all the natural factors, and that vital critical factor, that make essential oils so valuable. Synthetic oils are not acceptable and desired is that the minor constituents are never identical in structure and composition.

Essential oils are extracted from many physiological sources of bark, herbs, spices, woods and fibers and flowers, usually by distillation methods and solvent extraction. Solvent extraction is only acceptable for aromatherapy, if the solvent used is completely removed, after the manufacturing process and no traces are identifiable.

I don't think aromatherapy is a myth. You can do this yourself, or you can go to a special sauna or spa that will charge you their regular rates. Really, aromatherapy is something you can do in the privacy of your own bathroom or bedroom for practically no cost, just the cost of the candles, or infusers that you can buy at your local department store.

When you go to purchase the products keep in mind the behavior you wish to calm. Some memory scents, like maybe lilac, or chocolate, may be the choice for you, where others may like sandalwood or lavender. Of course, if the person is not receptive to what aromatherapy can do for them, they are less likely to reap any benefits, but I don't know that men or women have more problems with this therapy system, or which works better.

For work aromatherapy, you can get either those infusers, which is just porous reeds that are resting in a scented oil, or you can get a candle heater and place a candle on it. Of course you would not wish to have any fire in your office area, but if you have access to a socket, there are also several plug-in types that will do just as well. Aromatherapy works well on children.

Find soothing and not musky scents, like floral scents, and, making sure that it is a very light scent for their sensitive noses, fill their room with the lovely aromas. Lavender is supposed to be soothing, so much that they even make bath salts of that aroma to help people relax. You know, if I smell lilacs, regardless of whether they are artificial, or the real thing, my spirits lift to heights that would be child-like.

I love that smell, because it reminds me of home. There's nothing more like love than the home you grew up in. Yes, aromas can make you very happy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
