Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils of various plants to achieve a healing effect that can be psycho-emotional or physical or both. Essential oils work because of the chemical components present in a particular plant. It is for this reason that they are recognized to have medicinal properties.
Aromatherapy works quite well for infections and acute conditions. It can help improve immune response. Certain essential oils are excellent antiseptics and bactericidal. Aromatherapy can also have a very beneficial effect on the nervous system, the mind, or the endocrine (hormonal) system. Aromatherapy can also have a positive effect on autoimmune conditions.
At Hands of Gold, aromatherapy is used only topically or via aerosolized means. We most typically use aromatherapy for its analgesic (pain relieving) effect. We use aromatherapy for various psycho-emotional effects, such as the relief of stress and the enhancement of relaxation.
