A fascinating healing ritual from Ancient Egypt to ancient China... Aromatherapy has been providing physical and mental balance with the healing power of herbal oils for thousands of years! Applied with the aim of finding the ideal balance by displaying a holistic approach towards the soul and body, aromatherapy is performed using the power of plants offered by nature. In aromatherapy, which evaluates the well-being of the physical and mental structure in connection with each other, the senses of smell and feeling are appealed to. Thus, it is aimed to create a general state of balance and well-being as a result of the applications. Aromatic oils form the basis of aromatherapy. Each of the aromatic oils, obtained from plant extracts and also called aromatherapy oils, has a different effect. The choice of aromatic oil is made to help find solutions to existing complaints or to protect the current positive state.
Natural oils obtained from the roots, leaves, and flowers of plants through different methods were used for therapeutic purposes in ancient times. Healers, who noticed the effects of active ingredients in plants on the body, prepared their ointments and syrups with these extracts. With the development of modern medicine, today, unfortunately, healing herbal formulas have started to be produced synthetically. Over the years, microorganisms have developed resistance to these synthetic formulas; however, such resistance is not in question against aromatherapy oils as they show similarity with microorganism building blocks.
It is impossible not to mention the concept of holistic treatment while explaining aromatherapy. According to this concept, nature is a whole and living organisms form a cycle depending on each other and all life. Holistic therapy aims to protect this cycle and balance and to activate the healing potential in the living being's own nature. In contrast to treatment methods designed to suppress symptoms, aromatherapy describes the healing process with the healing of naturalness.
Aromatherapy is a set of practices performed to benefit from the beneficial effects of herbal oils. The aim here is for the scents of herbal oils or the beneficial components in their contents to create positive effects on people's minds and skin. Thus, instead of performing positive effects only for the soul or only for the skin, an inclusive, detailed, and balancing effect for a whole is created.
Dating back approximately 6000 years, aromatherapy was practiced by ancient civilizations such as Egypt and China. Aromatherapy, traces of which can be found in many different civilizations, reveals the energy hidden in the beauties of nature and carries it into human life.
The herbal oils used in aromatherapy are called aromatic oils. It is also possible to divide aromatic oils into two different classes: Essential oils and fixed oils. Essential oils and aromatherapy are an inseparable whole. Because aromatherapy's ability to appeal to the senses of smell and feeling together is possible thanks to essential oils. Essential oils, obtained from parts of plants such as flowers, stems, seeds, and leaves using natural methods like steam distillation, take their strong and stimulating scents from the plants they are produced from.
Fixed oils, on the other hand, mostly come into play when topical applications are concerned and do not have scents as distinct as essential oils. The function of fixed oils in aromatherapy is to ensure that essential oils, which have a very dense and concentrated structure, are used on the skin by being diluted. Direct application of essential oils to the skin without fixed oils can cause irritation, redness, and burns. Thus, the unique benefits offered by essential oils combine with the benefits of fixed oils that stand out with their moisturizing and nourishing properties, performing effective care for the skin.
Herbal oils obtained through various methods are used in both physical and spiritual healing processes. In the mental dimension; it provides concentration and sleep quality. By establishing a soul-body-mind balance, it offers a calm and vigorous life experience. It would not be wrong to say that one of the reasons why aromatic oils, which are widely used in personal care and household cleaning products today, are so popular is their magnificent scents. Due to their relaxing and balancing properties, they have also become an indispensable part of meditation rituals.
