In the modern world, medicine is making leaps and bounds forward, new medicines and equipment are being invented, diseases that seemed incurable a couple of centuries ago are becoming forgotten. But more and more people in our time are beginning to give preference to alternative methods of treatment. One of these methods is aromatherapy.
Aromatherapy is the use of various essential oils, plant extracts, odors and aromas in the treatment and restoration of the body.
Eastern countries such as China and India can rightfully be considered the ancestors of aromatherapy. Chinese books on herbal medicine were perhaps among the first books written. Even then, it was established that the same plants act in completely different ways on various human organs. In India, smells are part of the culture. In addition to the scriptures of Hinduism, the oldest Indian book "Vedas" also contains recipes for treatment in various life situations.
The knowledge about the influence of odors on our body has been passed down to us from our ancestors since time immemorial. We know that aromatherapy has anti-inflammatory, anti-viral properties, improves performance and improves sleep.
Different smells have different properties. For example, such a delicate scent as lavender increases mental activity; in cosmetology, lavender extract is used to improve skin elasticity and color. Such a familiar scent of rosemary, which we often see as a "special note" in the culinary creations of chefs in Italy, Spain and other European countries, stimulates the nervous system, helps fight feelings of fear, and increases your self-confidence.
If suddenly your stress level begins to go off scale, you need to recharge with the scent of eucalyptus, which in an instant will increase your stress resistance. If you need to put your thoughts and feelings in order, various types of wood oils will help you cope with this.
Smells such as cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, in the minds of everyone, probably cause associations of warm warming tea, but such associations arise not only because of a hot drink, but also because of smells that have a warming effect, are useful for colds diseases and always cheer up.
Smells in our world are varied, find your smells for different occasions, let your life be filled not only with vivid impressions, but also with bright aromas.
