Aromatherapy
"It is one of the oldest uses of incense, as old as 5,000 years. Based on the principle that the subtle power of fragrance plays an important role in our health and wellness. It uses pure essential oils to rejuvenate and maintain harmony of body, mind and spirit.
Essential oils, the pure essence of a plant, have been found to provide both psychological and physical benefits when used correctly and safely.
Aromatherapy works the best when it works on the mind and body simultaneously.
Ayurvedic Aromatherapy – The ancient art & science, in practice for thousands of years and working on holistic principles to reestablish balance in the three doshas – Vata, Pitta & Kapha, using fragrances.
Aroma-psychology and personality profiling - comparatively newer entrants, which study natural fragrance preference to assess which essential oils bring out a person’s most positive traits." |
