Aromatherapy isn't just essential oils, it's basically anything that you smell that alters your emotions. So this could be candles, inscents etc. Essential oils have three main functions to the skin: Hydrate Oxygenate %26amp; Detoxify . They trigger the limbic factor of the brain which is conected to memory. For instence when your walking down the street and you smell your ex's perfume that smell triggers the emotion related to that person, or time in your life. They can be rejuvinating, soothing, clearing. They are VERY delicate and powerful. The only 2 pure essential oils that can be applied to the skin are lavendar (calming %26amp; an antiseptic) and tea tree(antiseptic) all other oils need to be in a carrier oil. Be sure that when you are buying oils that they are effctive in a glass or aluminum container and the container must be dark. Any essentail oil over 2% will eat away plastic and they are very sensitive to light. Another thing, the only reason that htey are concidered an oil is because they are not water soluable. So, they can go onto the skin and not cause any problems (break outs). There is also a counter part to essential oils which are hydroessentail oils. This is the water portion of the plant. The reason knowing this is important is because not everyone can have essentail oils on them. Anyone who is pregnant must not have them because ess oils penatrate to the blood stream. Studies have shown that it goes so far that it's been found in urine. The hydroessentials only penatrate to the upper epidermis of the skin, but are still effective. Becareful if you are going to be working with essoils, they must be combined properly and they right amounts. To much ess oils can make you sick so make sure you drink a lot of water when working with them. Trust me, I've done it. A great source for you to get more info is from Eve Taylor she is a world renown aromatherapist and reflexologist. I work for many people who have been trained by her and I have also had the pleasure of working with her.Aromatherapy/Essential Oils - What are the different benefits of certain oils!?!?

a site that I use often.
Essentials oils are wonderful in a bath ... you can relax and breathe in the aromatic fragrances ... it is very calming! As for alternative health ... I would read up on and then check with your Dr as to what natural herbs and vitamins would be good for you. I take bee pollen for energy and swear by it but did make sure my doctor knew I was taking it. Good luck!
