AROMATHERAPY
This type of nose-mind therapy involves the ancient art of using fragrances, or essential and absolute oils, and other substances for physical and psychological benefits. Each of the different aromas or oils used has a specific healing power such as reducing stress, fighting infection, increasing productivity, or serving as an aphrodisiac. How aromatherapy works still remains a mystery, although everyone knows that odors you like can induce a positive mood. Researchers have discovered that, when one inhales aromatic molecules, they connect onto receptors and build electrical impulses that move up the olfactory nerves to the brain. The ultimate target is the limbic system where your emotions and memory are processed. Healing depends on the individual patient response.
