The essence of fragrance and its affect on the body is excitingly profound! Not only sensually, but emotionally, spiritually and physically.  The scientific benefits and applications of Clinical Aromatherapy are well documented throughout the world. This is a natural therapy utilizing concentrated medicinal quality essential oils through specific applications advised by a trained Clinical Aromatherapist.

Here are some examples:

• “German researchers found they could use odors to re-activate new memories in the brains of people while they slept – and the volunteers remembered better later.” – CNN
• “Essential oils usually used in aromatherapy have been found to kill the deadly MRSA bacteria according to research carried out at The University of Manchester. Tests revealed that three essential oils killed MRSA as well as E.Coli and many other bacterial and fungi within just two minutes of contact” – Medical Research News
• “A supervising research nurse in the department of genitourinary medical oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, teaches a monthly aromatherapy class… While essential oils may not directly stimulate the immune system they can complement cancer treatment by boosting the system’s ability to fight off infections. Certain oils can also stimulate lymphatic drainage or have antibacterial properties and help manage anxiety and nausea as well as promote sleep, general relaxation, memory and attention.” – UPI

The advantage Clinical Aromatherapy has on balancing the body’s systems is that the essential oils come from nature and are composed of a complex chemical structure that cannot be reproduced by man.  By understanding the key chemical compounds a trained Clinical Aromatherapist can provide a complementary medical modality for better health.
