AROMATHERAPY OILS
"Smell is a potent wizard which transports us across
time and all the years we have lived."-- Helen Keller
  ood fragrances, perhaps more commonly known as "aromatherapy", are known to have a powerful effect through our sense of smell. Simply by inhalation, mood fragrance oils cause an immediate olfactory response as they are readily absorbed into the bloodstream. Under the right conditions, these fragrances can create a very pleasing environment. Massage therapists often use scented candles and heated potpourri to create a satisfying feeling of relaxation in their clients.
 mell (olfaction) is the least understood of our five senses, and yet is perhaps the most powerful. The olfactory membrane is the only place in the human body where the central nervous system is exposed and in direct contact with the environment. When an olfactory receptor cell is stimulated, an impulse travels along the olfactory nerve to the limbic portion of the brain, where memory, hunger, response or emotion is evoked. Before consciously knowing we are in contact with an aroma, our subconscious mind has already received and reacted to it.
 few examples: Many a real estate agent has sold a house by creating a warm and inviting sense in a vacant home, simply by using the scent of baking bread or cookies in the kitchen. The "feel good" fragrance fills the room, and wafts through the empty house, lingering on the air. Prospective buyers are emotionally affected, and respond positively to those subliminal good feelings from the scent. Used car dealers know this trick as well, and use it to their advantage - they even use an automobile upholstery cleaner with the scent of a "new car." Customers buying a used car feel as though it's new, or nearly so, and it's all because of the scent. After a hard day at work, relaxing over a cup of chamomile tea will calm your troubled nerves, help you relax, and let the cares of the day slip away. Each breath of the relaxing scent calms you further, until your tension is a thing of the past. Whenever you need a pick-me-up, the fresh scent of peppermint can evoke feelings of energy and motivation.
 hether it's to cause excitement or inspiration, relaxation, a feeling of well being, good physical health, sensual stimulation, or any number of other uses, aromatherapy is used all over the world to cause a specific response in others just through the sense of smell. The entire multi-billion dollar perfume industry worldwide relies on the power of fragrance and the sense of smell to bring about a desired result on the public, simply by how a scent makes the person feel. Used properly and creatively, aromatherapy is a very powerful thing.
