The aroma of plants:
All oils are antiseptic.
The essential oil of the plant may be compared to human hormones.
The chemical
composition depends on the climate, pollution and the soil.
When choosing an aromatherapy essential oil, it is important to pick the best ones you can afford.
It will improve the success rate of your treatments.
No pesticides, fertilizers or other chemical should have been used when growing the plant.
Whenever possible, the oil should be marked of organic origin or grown wildly.
The length of time between the harvesting and the shipping to distributor should be minimum to ensure the freshness of the product.
The distributor should not keep the oil on their shelves for a long period of time.
Good quality aromatherapy essential oil will of course be pricier than poor quality ones. However, the results achieved will greatly justified the extra cost.
Using cheap oil is a false saving as in many occasions, only a slight improvement will be noticed.

Click here to find out why I recommend them.
Note: Even though I get a (very) small commission when you order, your own price will not be any higher. This amount will help me carry on with the development of this web site.
Buy organic oil - or from plants that have been wildly grown.
Try to buy an oil where the Latin name is mentioned as this is internationally recognized and there are fewer chances of getting a different oil than the one you want.
It is very important to get the finest oils you can afford if you want them to "work" for you.
Poor oils at best will do little or nothing, and leave you feeling disappointed that your experiments in aromatherapy were not successful.
At worst, they may produce some allergic reactions if synthetics are involved, or run the risk of skin irritation.
Assuming you have bought from a reputable supplier of organic aromatherapy essential oils, they will last for several years if you look after them properly.
Essential oils are damaged by sunlight and by exposure to the air. They can also be harmed by extreme temperature, vibration, proximity to electric meters, radiations and X-rays.
If you follow a few simple rules, your oils will last you many years.
Because essential oils are such concentrated substances, we hardly ever use them undiluted - a couple of drops of Lavender or Tea-tree are the exception.
Oils applied in massage need to be diluted in a carrier oil (new page). The dilution is 2 to 3% essential oil for body use and 1% for facial use, pregnant women, babies or the frail and elderly.
This dilution is low enough to be safe but also high enough to be effective.
To make a 2% dilution of essential oil, dilute 2 drops of essential oil to 1 teaspoon of carrier oil (approximately 5ml or 100 drops).
Increase the amount of carrier oil for a larger frame, NOT essential oil
Oil penetrates the skin via hair follicles (5,000,000 air shafts on the body for the oils to go in) to interstitial fluid to capillaries.
The sweat glands take the oils through the subcutaneous levels.
It enters the lungs through the alveoli in the lungs. The lungs relate to our feelings about ourselves and our ability to take in life.
This is the most important form of treatment in Aromatherapy. A massage is
very relaxing.
The skin is the largest organ of the body and presents the most effective way of absorbing essential oils.
The rubbing action activates the nerve endings and stimulates the circulation of blood to the surface of the skin easing the entry of the oils.
General effects of Aromatherapy Essential Oils:
They...
N. B : A large amount of subcutaneous fat will impede their passage as will water retention and poor circulation.
Another effective way of treating with aromatherapy essential oil is to add a few drops to a warm bath.
Make sure the room temperature is adequate and that the doors and windows are closed to keep in vapors.
Immerse your body up to your head for at least ten minutes, relax and breathe deeply. Some of the odoriferous molecules will penetrate the skin, whilst others will stimulate the nerve endings in the nose.
These nerve endings are an extension of the portion of the brain, which is responsible for governing our feelings of pleasure, contentment and well-being, as well as our appetite, thirst and sexual behavior.
They also connect with the part of the brain called the hypothalamus
gland.
This controls the endocrine glands in the body (the thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, etc).
The essential oils can exert a powerful influence over the hormonal secretions from the glands, helping to stimulate an under active organ or soothe an agitated one to re-establish harmonious functioning.
The vapors of essential oils are inhaled while sitting in a bath with added oils.
There are various ways of utilizing the aromatherapy essential oils:
After the bath, some of the oil remains on the skin and it should only be patted dry to leave a lingering fragrance on the body.
Steam inhalations are an effective way of using aromatherapy essential oil to treat colds, catarrh, sinusitis and sore throat.
The method is extremely simple:
Fill a basin with very hot water - just short of boiling - and have a large towel at hand.
Add 1 to 3 drops of essential oils to the basin and drape the towel over the basin and the person needing to inhale so that the steam is retained inside a sort of "tent".
The steam should be breathed in for
about 5 minutes. If the inhalation is intended to help a cough or sore
throat, advise the sufferer to breathe in through the mouth..
Only
use one drop of aromatherapy essential oil for a child and allow 3 to 4
minutes. The child should be supervised during this operation.
When
treating asthma sufferers, try them on the above for 30 seconds before
continuing. This is necessary as some asthma sufferers are made worse
by steam whilst others benefit from it.
You can also buy facial
saunas from electrical stores and large chemist. Use only a single drop
in these (they are very powerful).
Steaming should however be avoided if the skin is delicate or there are broken veins.
Compresses may be hot or cold.
The method used is the same in both cases :
Fill in a bowl or basin with water (very hot or very cold according to need).
Hot
compresses are used for backache, muscular pain of all kinds,
fibrositis, rheumatic or arthritic pain, menstrual cramps, toothache and
dental abscesses to give relief. A hot compress can additionally be
used to remove a splinter or a painful boil.
Cold compresses are
used as first aid for sprains and other sports injuries, headaches and
insect bites. For a headache, make a small compress with a flannel and
lay it across the forehead.
Alternating cold and hot compress are used to speed up healing of muscle injuries. Always start and stop with the cold compress.
These are used to circulate aromatherapy essential oils in a room. This is convenient to create an ambiance, it is also an efficient way of absorbing essential oils through the lungs which is beneficial in case of epidemics.
Nebulizing Diffuzers project tiny droplets of essential oil into the air without the use of heat. They are more expensive but better than burners as they do not distort the essential oil.
If you are keen on using aromatherapy essential oil to improve your health, a nebulizing diffuzer is a good investment .
Candle Diffuzers work by burning the essential oil and as such evaporating it in the air. Burning may however slightly distorts the content of the oil and as such nebulizing Diffuzers are more efficient.
A light ring can also be used. This fits around ordinary bulbs and are great for creating a special atmosphere in the house. These are also very cheap.
A spray can be made by dissolving 10 drops of essential oils to about 20mls of vodka and filling the rest of the spray with water. Shake the mixture well and spray it in the room.
Make your own cream or mix the oil to a base cream and apply it to the skin.
I would recommend that you only use the oils of Lavender and Tea-tree neat.
A couple of drops is sufficient, they can be massaged in the part of the body you wish to treat.
Only a small area of the skin should be treated.
This is ideal for colds, sore throats, headaches, spots, boils, burns, etc...
Aromatherapy essential oils can be taken internally in the form of teas made from flowers, leaves or as herbs and spices used in cooking.
The essential oils present in the petals and leaves of the herbs and other plants can be absorbed by the cells that line our stomach and intestines. From there, they enter the blood and lymph fluid and circulate around the body. At the same time, they aid the digestion of foods.
It is exceedingly dangerous to take essential oils undiluted by mouth as they are very concentrated and will have powerful and sometimes harmful effects.
Tepid water should be used.
Tea-tree oil is good for mouth ulcers and sore throat.
