Essential oils are
the soul, lifeforce and healing "essence" that are extracted from the
plants. The excellence of these oils depends on soil, rainfall, sunlight and
humidity. Overall environment in which the plant is growing has strong
influences on the characteristic of the oil.
These essential oils are extracted
from different parts of the plants, and are found in petals or in whole flowers
such as ylang ylang; flowering tops of lavender; leaves of eucalyptus; foliage
and twigs of petitgreen; in lemon grass; seeds as in castor or coriander;
fruits and fruit peel of bergamot and lemon; roots, woods and bark of
sandalwood; rhizomes of ginger and vetiver; and finally, in resin and gums in
frankincense and myrrh. At ayurvedic spa Geneve,

wonderful!" Immediately, you begin to feel calm and joyful. Working

give up the stick. The calm and healing fragrance of the essential oils, affects
our moods, memories and emotions. They can be absorbed into your body through

When you inhale them, the aromatic molecules
present in the oil fit into your olfactory nerves in a very specific way and
send impulses to your limbic system, which is the seat of the memory and
emotions. And in turn, the limbic system conveys the message to your body's
natural healing mechanism known as immune system.
