Aromatherapy is a process that enables you to serve your mind and your body at the same time. It not only
rejuvenates different parts of your body but also helps you to open up and refresh your mind and hence gain a
complete transform while trying to serve your body and soul. This therapy uses different essential oils to feed the
body and the soul of a human being.
These pure and essential oils are very complex and volatile substances which are enriched with fragrances and
thus help to open up all the senses. The degree of complexity and fragrance along with volatility differs according
to the oil that is being used for the therapy. These oils are the extracts of various flowers and fruits along with
roots and woods. These oils can be extracted from any part of the plant and hence are very useful for the body as
they have their own nutrient value.
When we study this therapy thoroughly and the oils used in the therapy, we would come to know that there are
various methods that are used for obtaining these oils. Different distillations processes are used to extract these
oils and the distillation process vary from oil to oil. However the latest technique that is being used in this
process is method of hypercritical carbon dioxide which is very costly and hence is not used commonly.
There are various constituents of an essential oil and these constituents can vary from hydrogen and carbon to
oxygen. These constituents act as the building block of the essential oil and thus determine the after-effects of
the particular oil. While we study aromatherapy, we come across the fact that it is the constituent of an essential
oil that determines the primary action of the oil. It should be noted down that the essential oils used in this
therapy are different form normal oils and it is an interesting fact that these oils are soluble in both fatty as
well as vegetable oils.
This therapy is carried out by applying these essential and vital oils on the surface of the body and then
messaging them properly. With a proper message, these oils reach definite parts and organs of the body where they
are needed most by the body and hence enhance the natural functioning of these parts of the body. Some of the oils
used in the aromatherapy are so effective and efficient that they simply start acting when they are inhaled.
These oils are so strong that as soon as they are inhaled, they reach the bloodstream and hence result in
immediate response by the body. Just the inhalation of these oils results in proper absorption of the oil in the
bloodstream and hence work with the power of smell as is explained with the word spread by the therapy. Different
oils differ with the rate of absorption which can range from 20 minutes to 120 minutes depending on the capability
of the oil. Hence we know that smell is the main factor which enables the oils used in this therapy to work
properly.
