ur sense of smell is directly
connected to our nervous
system. This means that the
simple act of breathing in can
have an immediate effect on our wellbeing.
Considering this sensory superhighway
to our central nervous system is in play,
it’s no surprise that the use of essential
oils is on the rise.Though the term “aromatherapy” wasn’t
coined until the 20th century, ancient
cultures as far back as 10,000 bCE used
essential oils to scent baths, make perfumes
and soften skin. Most cultures still revere
essential oils with great honor, believing
they hold healing and spiritual powers.Essential oils are the concentrated
aromatic essences of leaves, stems, roots,
peels and flowers. Most are extracted
using steam distillation or expeller pressing
(talk about freshly squeezed!). Perhaps the
easiest and most popular way to use them
is through a diffuser. These machines vary
in size and price and can utilize heat, water,
fans or ultrasonic vibration to diffuse
essential oils.enhance your home
Some other ways to use essential oils
include adding them to an unscented
lotion, body wash or body oil and creating
your own custom natural scent. You can
add a few drops to your shower floor and
voila—you’ve got your own private spa!
A couple drops of peppermint on a cool
washcloth can help soothe an achy head.What to Watch for
Always look at the ingredients on bottles
of essential oils: 100% pure essential oils
will only contain the names of plants and
will never use the words “fragrance” or
“perfume.” Head out to your local natural
retailer, open up some little bottles of
nature and see which oils you’re drawn
