Introduction: a bit history

Distinguished civilisations, of thousands of years for today, already knew and used the beneficial functioning of essential oils. Recipes which are still used now, are written up to 3000 years ago by Chinezen, old Egyptenaren, Greeks or Romen. Old Chinese writings describe extended the application of essential oils in health science. A science which by the way could measure itself with our current medicine. Also the old Egyptenaren considered the precious oils as the most important keys to health. The thousands of flasks and texts which are found in tombs to remain of it quiet, but powerful, testifying.

Essential oils and your brain

The sense of smell is one of our strongest organ of sense. It influance our behaviour, our poll and emotions. Daily have you with all kinds of fragrances and do the responses then: water runs you litterally in the mouth if you smell new baked bread. These are unconscious responses of senior part of our brain. This part of the brain contains our emotions and instincts: the basis for many of our aware and not aware actions. The aromatherapy products of Aromed uses natural of these (re)acties. If you know the impact of several fragrances and combinations of fragrances on the behaviour of the body can exert, you can by means of fragrances have large influence. And that is a strong point. The natural fragrances promote health and support them cicatrisation processes!

The inexhaustible source of beneficial substances

Real, pure essential oil is extracted from plants. It can in fact be obtained from thirty different families of plant, with a total of around ninety different varieties. If we also consider the fact that the same plants and flowers from different regions produce quite different oils, we arrive at an impressive number of different kinds of oil. Suitable plants and flowers can be found all over the world, and are usually processed in the country of origin. Some are available in abundance, even in your own back garden, but others are extremely rare, and consequently very expensive - especially when you consider that huge quantities of flowers or leaves are needed to produce just a few drops of oil!

Precision work

To make the best possible use of the properties of the oils, without their immediate evaporation, the oils are mixed. This is done in very precise proportions with a carrier, such as vegetable oil or distilled water. This results in a mixture that allows the correct doses of the various oils to operate in the best possible way. When you rub the mixture into your skin, the carriers ensure that the active substances are evenly distributed. The stimulating constituents of the oils can then prompt the recovery or strengthening of the body. This is a process that has been known about for a very long time - for as long as history has been recorded, in fact, and probably longer!

Funtion on the basis of science

Aromatherapy with essential oils plays an important role in our health. Two factors are very important. First the properties of our skin to take beneficial substances. The second factor is the positive influence of fragrances on our spirit and our maintenance system. The influence of this positive impact is not yet recognised concerning the complete world. But that changes. Nowadays we have not enough to experience and a nice fragrance only. Proof wants see we!

Now that we have taken a detailed look at aromatherapy, you will understand that it is much more than just a passing trend. Essential oils play an important role in helping us to maintain our health. There are two important factors that allow Aromed to use these oils successfully: the properties of our skin that allow it to absorb therapeutic substances, and the influence of scents on our mind and on our body's maintenance system. Aromed is a specialist organisation. We are constantly researching the effects of the constituents of essential oils on the body, and are therefore discovering new applications all the time.

Working on our biggest organ: the skin

There are many different ways for a substance to enter the human body. If drugs are taken internally, the stomach digests them and releases the active substances into the bloodstream. This is exactly what your skin does with Aromed's self-care products. The process by which two substances come together via the skin is called osmosis. The skin is, incidentally, the human body's largest organ. In order to be absorbed through the skin's pores, the active substances must be particularly volatile. Essential oils, which form the basis for Aromed's products, are indeed very volatile. It is just a question of converting them into a usable product.

Working on the brain: a healthy mind in a healthy body

Essential oils are also called the "hormones" of a plant. They are already age-long known for their powerful healing functioning. It are natural organic substances, which work in harmonie with the natural strengths of the body. This is one of the reasons why essential oils are effective. In the first place the oils were used for their medicinal functioning. From experience they can exactly know which impact the extracts have from several plants and flowers on the health and capacitance of our body.

In later times, people also began to appreciate the aromatic properties more and more. The potions created by the expert blenders back then form the basis for today's eaux de toilette, perfumes and aftershaves. The fact that in many cases these elixirs and scented lotions also had a positive effect on people's health was a bonus in those days.

We have no influence at all on the process of smelling. Whether we want to or not, our body reacts almost immediately and without our being aware of it. The various scents of the constituents of Aromed's self-care products each have their own effect on the part of the brain associated with emotional response. It is here that moods are created, and these, in turn, contribute to the maintenance of our body. Everyone knows from his or her own experience that an optimistic mood or uncontrollable fit of laughter can bring about a rush of positive energy. This has a beneficial effect on our conscious actions, but certainly also on the unconscious actions of the body itself. It is therefore all about achieving a balance, just as in nature.
