Fragrances
and flavors have been vital part of everyone’s life ever since the
ancient times, we have used flavor or perfumery materials in life. In
Vedic literature, you would find different references about uses and
application of essential oils from which fragrances come. Essential
oils are mainly found in plants which specialize in glands or cells.
These glands can be found on any part of the plant, based on its
physiology or morphology. At times these might be in wood, bark,
roots, stems, flowers or leaves. When such glands rupture by heat,
rubbing or pressing, aroma comes. Essential oils include aroma and
different compounds which are hydrophobic or volatile in nature.
Naturalessential oils in India can
be easily obtained from Sri
Venkatesh Aromas.
There
are numerous carrieroils suppliers in
India that deal in supply of essential oils. Such oils are greatly
used in therapeutics which means prevention or treatment of disease
The 2 basic mechanisms which are involved in such aroma therapy are:
- Direct pharmacological impacts of essential oils
- Impact of aroma on brain, particularly the limbic system
The
best part of these oil is that their functionality is very different
and special. The aroma first enters the nose, transforms the aroma to
electrical impulse, which further connects with cilia. This reaches
the olfactory blub and gets connected with brain. It leads to impulse
which reaches the limbic system and provides relief from the existing
problem. On one hand where lavender used for increasing alpha waves
in individual’s brain, also helping in relaxing, the other hand it
augments beta waves that are linked with increased alert and agile
state.
In
India people use such essential natural oils in massage, bathing and
inhalants while they have significant medicinal uses too. Their
medicinal properties include sedative, diuretic, expectorant,
antispasmodic, astringent, anti-inflammatory etc. Apart from their
therapeutic uses, these oils are very commonly used in creation of
fragrances in items like laundry, toiletries, cosmetics and incense
products. The other use of essential oils is cosmetics and baby
products as they are skin and environmental friendly.
So
if you have hair loss, suffering from dry skin, having body ache or
rashness, use the respective essential oil.
