Uses and benefits of aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is one of the fastest growing fields in alternative medicine.

Stress, pollution, unhealthy diet, hectic but sedentary life styles - all these factors have adverse effects on our bodies and spirits. The art of Aromatherapy harnesses the potent pure essences of aromatic plants, flowers and resins, to work on the most powerful of senses - smell and touch - to restore the harmony of body and mind. The value of natural plant and oil has been recognized for their healing, cleansing, preservative and mood enhancing properties, as well as for the sheer pleasure of their fragrances.

The healing power of essential oils is the main attraction in aromatherapy. It is also the main question for the skeptic. There is very little evidence for all the claims made by aromatherapists regarding the various healing properties of oils. The use of aromatherapy can be seen as part of a lifestyle choice - a lifestyle that allows for pleasure because a moment of pleasure is healing.

It is widely used at home, clinics and hospitals for a variety of applications such as pain relief for women in labor pain, relieving pain caused by the side effects of the chemotherapy undergone by the cancer patients, and rehabilitation of cardiac patients.
