Does the aroma of warm apple pie bring back sweet memories of autumn afternoons in your grandmother’s kitchen? Does a passing whiff of perfume remind you of a love lost? If so, you have encountered the basic principles of aromatherapy. Smell can invoke memories and then more.
''Aromatherapy is where pure essential oils are used from flowers, leaves and spices for treatment in three ways – for the mind, stress related ailments and cosmetic reasons.”
I'm a firm believer in the healing powers of essential oils of the Bible. Why am I convinced? Because they have worked for me, my husband and my daughter. We have been using the essential oils for almost 6 years now and we have seen some pretty fascinating results. They heal, they are medicinal, they are aromatic and they are pure! The effects of these oils being ingested in to our systems through our olfactory organ can be quite beneficial to our overall health.
Oils have an astounding ability of penetrating the blood-brain barrier, that so many chemically designed medications fail to accomplish. Interstitial tissues, (which in simple English terms means small little spaces that exist between the organ and the tissue) are carried out by the brain in order to protect the neurons from damaging substances being permitted to reach them. This actually serves as a filter or sieve to the cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. But oils can penetrate it!
Most molecules are too large to pass through but the blood-brain filter. Doctors seem to believe that in order for molecules to cross over this barrier, they must be less than 800-1000 atomic mass units. Oils are less than 500, which makes them quite capable of addressing and healing diseases. Yes, you heard me correctly ... I said addressing and HEALING diseases. It doesn't matter what kind of species inhales the essential oils ... they will still cross the blood-brain barrier. Amazing huh?
We have over 100 trillion cells in our body. Yet, one drop of essential oil can penetrate and cover every cell in our bodies. Why? Because essential oils don't overload the receptors in our brains, they actually work to bring a cleansing in to our receptors. This opens the communication line between our brain and our body and healing begins to occur in our cells.
