Soy Candles

Aromatherapy is the prevention or treatment of disease with the use of essential oils.  The way it works is twofold.  One is upon the brain with the influence of aroma where it is inhaled through the olfactory system or nose.  The other mechanism of working is by direct pharmacological effects or science of drugs in the usage of the essential oils. 

In France where aromatherapy originated it is incorporated into mainstream medicine.  Some essential oils are considered like our narcotics in that they are regulated and available only by prescription and administered by a doctor.  The doctors use an aromatogram in deciding which essential oil to use.  They actually collect a sample of the infected area and grow or culture it in a petri dish.  The petri dishes have been inoculated with different essential oils and studied to see which one retards growth of the infection and then is used to treat the patient. 

Essential oils are included in the national pharmacopoeia of many countries.  Japan, Germany, Russia and the United States do not recognize aromatherapy as a valid branch of medicine.  In the United States aromatherapy is considered an alternative form of medicine. 

Essential oils used in massage oils when applied to the skin activate thermal receptors, kill microbes and fungi.  When used in aroma {scent} therapy they activate the emotional centers of the brain and the limbic system.  When used in internal applications they may stimulate the immune system.  This route is mainly in pharmacological drugs and not generally recommended for home use unless diluted. 

Aromatherapy soy candles works by inhalation on your olfactory system.  They activate emotional centers in your brain, giving you an altered or enhanced mood response.  Thus they can be used as a relief for stress.  Aromatherapy soy candles come in the following fragrances Cool Breeze, Citrus Fantasy, Enchanted Journey, Lavender Fields, Pleasant Dreams, and Sensual Moments.
