Aromatherapy is a healing art, which uses the essential
oils of
aromatic plants and trees to promote health of
body
and serenity of mind.
Interest in aromatherapy is growing year by year.
Professional aromatherapy treatments are now available
in beauty salons, fitness clubs and hairdressers, while
essential oils are used therapeutically in modern
hospitals and health centres.
Cosmetic aromatherapy aims to rejuvenate and beautify
the body through the use of aromatic oils and generally
to improve our outward appearance.
Essential oils can be used to improve the complexion or
to treat specific skin conditions.
Beauty is not just skin deep. The condition of the skin expresses the overall
health of
an individual. Beautiful
and healthy skin encourage a sense of well
being,
self-confidence,
self-awareness
and
self-motivation.
Ageing is inevitable, but essential oils can do much to slow down the effects. They
encourage
regeneration of healthy cells and help to keep skin supple
and
elastic.
The regular use of facial oils containing Cicatrisant oils (those that stimulate new
growth
to
prevent wrinkles) is vital. These are Lavender, Neroli, Frankincense,
Carrot Seed,
Myrrh,
Rose, Patchouli, Geranium, Fennel, Palmarosa, etc.
