AROMOTHERAPY

Did you know that the roof of the nose is actually also the floor of the brain? This is exactly how and why our consciousness reacts so strongly to a pleasant, unpleasant smell, remembers events, places that are always associated with the same smell. Supposedly adults, it is the smell that often reminds them of what they experienced in childhood. Experts even say that we are our partners we choose directly by smell. How much of it is conscious or unconscious?

And we have certainly noticed that the same scent can be different on two different people different. I have noticed that when entering some houses, the first thing I notice (although it would be more correct to say a feeling) is exactly the smell. I have not even been shy to approach people and ask - what perfume do you use? And everything has a smell – for the room, clothes, bed linen, furniture, if we go even deeper – for breath, hair, skin and hands.

We can even say – the event also has a smell.

THE CONCEPT OF AROMOTHERAPY

The ancient Greeks say that where there is a good smell, the gods live there. In all times, people of different cultures have tried create a pleasant scent around you to conjure well-being and create harmony of mind and body. By definition aromatherapy is a method of disease prevention and treatment using and from plants containing essential oils obtained products. It turns out that in addition to shops and airport tax free zones, perfumes have several other ways of obtaining perfumes.

It is very important to learn how to distinguish an artificial or chemically created smell from a real and naturally obtained one.
