Essential Oils are distilled from seeds, flowers,stems and leaves of many different plants and they have different therapeutic properties. A blend is individually made for each client at every session.
The oils reach the body in two main pathways. Through the nasal passages as an odour, they pass through the olfactory bulb and then into the Limbic system, the root of emotions and the circulation. They are one of very few substances that can penetrate the blood brain barrier.
Essential oils have differing properties, for instance:-
German Chamomile, Matricaria recutita is antiseptic
Peppermint, Mentha piperita is analgesic
Ylang Ylang, Cananga odorata var. genuina is anti-depressant
Neroli, Citrus aurantium va. amara is antifungal
Sweet Marjoram, Origanum marjorana is a vasodilator
Lavender Lavandula angustifolia is sedative
Jasmine Jasminium grandifloram is a uterine tonic
These are just a small sampling. Each of the mentioned oils have several different properties and their effects are enhanced when used in a blend with other Essential Oils.
