Aromatherapy: Most Popular Holistic Treatment of our Age

Aromatherapy is the science of using essential oils in a way that promotes an improved sense of well being. Today, modern medical science comes to agree that essential oils can be used for therapeutic purposes. Many might be surprised to learn the Physiological and Psychological benefits of Aromatherapy. The “whole” idea of Aromatherapy is to focus to attempt to treat the whole person, concentrating on the cause of the illness as well as on the symptoms. With the connection of mind, body, and spirit Aromatherapy is aimed to achieve maximum well-being.

Aromatherapy helps relieve the physical pain and discomfort

When one mentions Aromatherapy, the first thing that rings in one’s ear is that it helps relieve the physical pain and discomfort caused by fibromyalgia. Aromatherapy is mostly given to lessen symptoms of stress among people. A good example of this is the basil oil which is normally given to relive physical pain.

Aromatherapy’s role in cancer treatment

While essential oils may not directly stimulate the immune system; they can help in fighting cancer by boosting the system’s ability to fight off infections. Aromatherapy can also be used to treat/heal burns caused from radiation treatment, manage loss-of-memory and soothe pre-treatment anxiety and other symptoms of cancer.

Aromatherapy stimulates lymphatic drainage

Certain oils can have antibacterial properties and can stimulate lymphatic drainage. Since, it has many uses ranging from managing anxiety to helping with sleep, relaxation and memory.

Aromatherapy’s role in soothing the mind

Essential oils are absorbed into the body with inhalation and absorption by the skin. When an essential oil is inhaled, it activates the nerve cells which send impulses that stimulate the brain and produce positive feelings and emotions, while at the same time substances of the essential oils are drawn into the lungs and then quickly absorbed into the bloodstream soothing the mind and body.

Aromatherapy is a pleasant method for relaxation, stress, mental clarity, and headache alleviation. It can cure insomnia, depression, heal colds, heal wounds, arthritis problems, skin disorders; digestive, respiratory conditions and can enhance circulation and improve the immune system. Although, the efficacy of aromatherapy massage is scientifically proven, you should always keep in mind that alternative therapies are complimentary to conventional medicine.

$35.49


Around one in three peopel in the western world will develop cancer at some stage in life and complementary therapies are increasingly being used alongside orthodox treatments as part of the ‘integrative’ approach to cancer care. Enhancing Cancer Care is a practical, evidence-based guide to complemetnary cancer therapies, also described as natural or holistic therapies. More and more patients are turning to these therapies as there is now considerable evidence that they can help with symptom-control and quality-of-life, and that some may also extend survival. Complementary therepies can also provide the patient with a greater sense of control regarding the management of their illness.The first part of the book deals with the general principles behind complementary therapies and the factors driving their growing popularity, the challenges of evaluating their benefits and unwanted effects, and experience of using them in oncology units, hospices, the private sector and primary care. The second part includes chapters on specific interventions, including complementary therapies such as acupuncture and aromatherapy massage; lifestyle modifications through diet and exercise; creative therapies using art and music; and psychological and spiritual support for individuals and groups.These chapters provide descriptions of the therapies, a summary of the evidence for their benefits in cancer carem, and illustrative case histories.The emphasis throughout this book is on enhancing practice; that is, using the therapies alongside conventional medicine, rather than as alternatives to it.
