The Healing Power of Aromatherapy and Essentials Oils in Reflexology

Aromatherapy uses healing essential oils, nature's versatile fragrances painstakingly extracted from herbal substances/plants, to bring deep and far-reaching changes in our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. It is poised to be a key complementary therapy of the 21st century.

Contemporary healers, therapists, and marketing gurus are grabbing hold of a phenomenon that insects and animals instinctively understand: the power of aroma. Scientists pursue aromachology (the study of scent and its ability to change human behavior) for its role in everything from medicine to marketing, migraines to memory loss, antibacterial to antiviral, and relaxation to revitalization.

The History of Aromatherapy, at a Glance.

The ancestry of aromatherapy goes back some 4,000 years. Ancient Egyptians used aromatic botanicals for massage, embalming, medicine, and cosmetics. Hippocrates himself might have been aromatherapy's first spokesman 2,000 years ago, as he touted the benefits of aromatic massage for physical and emotional well-being. In the 10th century, the Arabian world invented the process of distillation, which allowed more efficient extraction of essential oils. For centuries, cultures around the globe inhaled aromas, drank potions, and wore aromatic amulets to protect them from harm. In the early 1900s, France and England attempted to re-introduce these ancient remedies and help them gain acceptance in the more traditional medical community. This trend continues in France today. Many French doctors prescribe aromatic remedies, pharmacies stock essential oils, and insurance companies pay for the treatment. In the United States, aromatic healing is gaining ground.
