Used by the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians, they recognized the beneficial effects of scented
baths, candles, and diffusers. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, recommended the spraying of
Athens to help rid them of the plague that was going though the city. In 1930, Dr. Rene-Maurice
Gattefosse created the basic principles of aromatherapy. He used some lavender oil after he
burned his hand and his hand healed completely. This led him to believe there might be other
uses for these scents and oils. Jean Valnet, a French doctor found that these oils were also
effective in disinfection and healing if applied to the skin. He wrote a book n aromatherapy in 1964
to teach others about this new science. Professor Paolo Rovesti tested the different oils with
different situations. For depression, he tried Jasmine, Sandalwood, and Lemon Oil. For anxiety,
he used Cypress, Orange Leaf, Lime, and Rose. One doctor helped a small child that had cancer
by letting her smell some rose oil. It greatly decreased her pain. It has been known throughout
history that odors can cause significant memory triggering responses. People who mix their own
oils find fragrances that are pleasing to them and help them to relax. The olfactory nerves pick up
on the scent and cause relaxing results. Lemon scents will usually vitalize you as will any citrus
smell. The aromatherapy can be inhaled, sprayed into the air, massaged into the skin, placed in
the bath water, or used in hot and cold compresses. Those people with asthma must be careful
around the fragrant scents because it could set off an attack. For people with allergies, Sage and
Rosemary can set them off and cause breathing issues. For pregnant women, Juniper oil could
set off uterine contractions. Be careful of your surrounding and people therein when you try an
aromatherapy session. Most people like to place the scent in the bath water. Find what works for
you and stick to it.
