Introduction
Aromatherapy is the practice of using volatile plant oils to enhance the psychological and physical aspects of an individual. It is a form of healing that utilizes the natural aromatic aspect of plants using their essential oils for the invigorating or uplifting scents, and for their innate medicinal properties. There is close to 100 essential oils used in aromatherapy techniques. Essential oils such as that of Yuzu and Green tea provides a wide range of health benefits when used properly. Essential oils are extracted (usually by steam distillation) from herbs, plants, fruits, and flowers, which work once they come into contact with the blood stream. Reactions are triggered in the brain, while physical changes take place to ease the symptoms of many different common ailments. In addition, essential oils act on the emotional and mental states through their fragrances and can have an immediate and powerful effect that defies rational analysis. Aromatherapy can improve the well-being and quality of life, all through the use of aromatic essential oils.<4><12><19>

H$tory of Aroma%erapy

Essential oils have been used to heal the mind, body and spirit throughout all major ancient civilization of the world. Our ancestors learned through trial and error and through observing what type of plants sick animals ate. We can see many of these principles at work today in Japan. In temples where incense is still ritually burned on the altars as well as essential oils being used more frequently in hospitals and nursing homes as alternative medical remedies.<10><19>

How do Essential Oils Work?

In the lungs... When we inhale air during an aromatherapy message, bath or other treatment, we also breathe in particles of essential oil. This air/essential oil mix travels down the trachea (windpipe) into the bronchial tubes and then into the lungs. Within the lungs are tiny balloon-shaped air sacs known as alveoli, around which lie minute blood vessels that carry out the exchange of gases. This means that waste products-mainly carbon dioxide-are exchanged for oxygen and articles of essential oil. On the skin... During a body massage, the skin becomes covered with a base oil (such as sweet almond) containing a small amount of essential oil. Because the skin is semi-permeable-which means that it can absorb and excrete certain substances with a small molecular structure-the oils are drawn into the structure-the oils are drawn into the body through the skin. Within the body... Once inside the body, the particles o essential oil circulate around the bloodstream and travel to the different organs and body systems. Most essential oils have a therapeutic affinity with particular organs or body systems. For instance, essential oil of rose has a purifying, regulating and tonic effect on the uterus. Once inside the body, the particles of rose will travel to the uterus and have a beneficial effect upon it. In the mind... Essential oils also have powerful mental, emotional and psychological effects. Staying with the example of rose, it is also an anti-depressant, nerve tonic and aphrodisiac. So an aromatherapist would be likely to include rose in a message blend for a woman experiencing problems in conceiving. Rose would have an overall beneficial effect on this woman physically, emotionally and psychologically.<7><17><18>

'e Secrets of Aroma%erapy Massa"s The Muscles Muscles enable to the body to move through interaction with the bones and joints. Whereas the skeleton is a scaffold of bones that gives the body sufficient rigidity to stay upright, the muscles connected to the bones allow movement. These muscles are known as voluntary muscles, because we control them consciously; they are muscles that come into play whenever we decide to move. Involuntary muscles are not under our conscious control. These muscles are indirectly affected by massage through the relaxation of the whole body. Aromatherapy massage using anti spasmodic essential oils relaxes involuntary muscle, and essential oils with cardiac tonic properties strengthen the heart. The classic blends combine essential oils that can help tone and warm muscles in preparation for sport or other strenuous activity, and which also release tight knotted tension after sport. These massage blends are particularly effective when used immediately before or after a sporting activity.<3><5><13><16> Suggested combinations 20ml of base oil 20ml of base oil

The digestive system The digestive system consists of the digestive tract and ancillary organs. The digestive tract begins with the mouth, followed by the oesophagus,stomach, large intestine, small intestine, rectum and anus. The ancillary organs are the salivary glands liver, gall bladder and pancreas. The functions of the digestive system are the ingestion of foods, peristalsis, digestion and absorption, where the food is broken down and assimilated into the body, and the defecation of waste products. Common digestive complaints include diarrhoea, constipation and a build-up of gas. Essential oils with anti-spasmodic properties help to relax the smooth muscle that lines the intestine and facilitate the release of gas.<3><5><7><13><16> Constipation- massaged gently over the abdomen in clockwise direction.

The respiratory system The respiratory system includes the nose, throat, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli and diaphragm. The order of these components follows the path of inhaled air through the nose, down the windpipe into the lungs, plus the rising of the diaphragm. With exhalation, the order is reversed and the diaphragm sinks. The actual respiration process is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the cells in the body. Aromatherapy massage on the chest, abdomen, diaphragm and upper back is of direct benefit to the respiratory system, especially when there is a cold, cough or other respiratory problem. anti-spasmodic properties, which means that they relax the bronchioles in the lungs.<3><5><12><13><16> Suggested combinations 20ml of base oil 20ml of base oil

The nervous system The nervous system is highly complex, and functions as the body s communication network and control centre. It is divided into two principal parts, the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system(PNS) though there are several subdivision as well. The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cords. The PNS comprises the nerve processes linking the CNS with muscles and glands. The PNS subdivides in the afferent and efferent systems, and the latter subdivides into the somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system(ANS).The ANS is divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Aromatherapy has a powerful affect on the nervous system. Massage with appropriate essential oils can reduce or eliminate pain, reduce anxiety levels, alleviate muscle spasm and tension, and promote general feeling of calm, relaxation and overall wellbeing.<1><3><5><16>

The immune system The immune system is our self-defence against literally millions of micro-organisms that continuously try to invade and occupy our bodies. Specialized blood cells together with the lymphatic system make up our immune system. Some of the bodys defences are non-specific and protect us against harmful microbes, while other defences target specific invading agents. Aromatherapy helps the immune system, because essential oils support and strengthen the bodys immune response with a dual action. Some essential oils with anti-microbial properties fight the microbes, while other essential oils with immuno-stimulant properties boost the bodys natural defences. Massage, inhalations and compresses are all useful, depending on individual circumastances.<2><3><7><16><17> Suggested combinations 20ml of base oil 4drops of ti-tree 4drops of green tea oil 20ml of base oil 4drops of green tea oil 3drops of eucalyptus

The lymphatic system The lymphatic system is the bodys cleaning system, and parallel to the bloods circulation system, which help provide immunological protection against infection. However, unlike the heart, which pumps the blood around the body, the lymph system uses pressure from the normal activity of the surrounding muscles to circulate the lymph. Lack of exercise and insufficient muscle movement can, therefore, affect the way the lymph system functions. For example, cellulite is caused by the retention of toxins due to poor lymphatic circulation. The massage works from the extremities,(up to lymph nodes)ultimately in the directions of clavicle. Here the lymph system drains into the blood at the subclavian vein, directly under the clavicle. The abdomen is also massaged, because there are many lymphatic glands and vessel situated here.<3><5><19><21> Suggested combinations 20ml of base oil 20ml of base oil

Spring
Spring is a great time to rejuvenate! It is the season of birth and renewal. During the winter months, the body can often be overlooked due to extra clothing, central heating, harsh winds and cold exposed areas. Its not surprising that skin becomes dry and hair starts to look brittle as do the nails. As the warm weather approaches, these assets will be on view more so it is important to take care, nourish and beautify the neglected body inside and out.

Suggested what to do O Try an invigorating full body scrub and citrus body oil application that will stimulate dull, lifeless skin and leave it feeling smooth and conditioned. (It is a good treatment to use the day before self tanning products) -10 drops of citrus oil (e.g.. Bergamot, Lemon, Orange) to 10ml of base oil (e.g.. Almond) Then add 4 large handfuls of caster sugar and mix to paste. O Detox to give the body a break- to experience a boost in vitality, improve circulation and look radiant and relaxed. Start with circulating the lymphatic system, which disposes bacteria, dead cells and toxins. By supporting the lymph system, it boosts the immune system after a long hectic winter.

13

-Rosemary essential oil is invigorating to the lymph. Add a few drops to a warm bath and get in. Then allow it to cool right down. The circulation including that of the lymph is aided by the change in temperature. -Massage also boosts the circulation. 20-40 drops of Rosemary oil added to 100ml of base oil make a great massage oil for this. If there is any left over, keep it in a dark glass bottle with a tight seal and reuse. o Jojoba oil can help improve dehydrated skin, hair and nails. Gently massaging the skin with Jojoba oil is pleasurable and helps keep the skin soft and supple. Jojoba contains anti-inflammatory agent myristic acid and is therefore a very useful skin conditioner. -To make massage oil, mix 75ml of Grapeseed oil with 25ml of Jojoba oil. This mixture can be used both as a massage oil as well as a hair conditioner. o Spring is also for many, allergy season. Most commonly, hay-fever. It is an allergy to pollen and causes a runny nose,streaming eyes and constant sneezing. -At the first signs of symptoms, sprinkle a few drops of Roman Chamomile or Melissa on a tissue and sniff it frequently. If this does not clear the symptoms, try a steam inhalation with Lavender or Eucalyptus. -Use ice cold Rosewater or Witch Hazel on a cold compress over the eyes and nose.

Summer
Summer is a time to kick back and relax Its time to get strong and a time to get beautiful. Its also a time to nurture and revel in the skin we are born in. Summer also means body consciousness. We wear less, we are on show more and want to look good. But also take extra caution to our skins sun exposure.

What to do o Cellulite is one of the biggest concerns for women this season. Fortunately, in addition to squats and lunges this localized treatment specifically targets areas that are prone to cellulite and is easy to use and make at home. -Anti-cellulite oil: 20 drops of Juniper oil, 10 drops of Cypress oil and 10 drops of Rosemary oil to 25ml of carrier oil. -Use a natural bristle body brush over the leg and thigh before exfoliating then using the massage oil, spend at least 5minutes working on each thigh, really working at a deep level.

15

o A tan is great for confidence. It can transform the body to look longer, leaner and more toned- and all without much effort. Faking it is much safer than baking in the sun. They are sophisticated and easy to use, quick drying and incredibly effective. They last from a few days to a week but they will last much longer with proper exfoliating the day before. -10 drops of essential oil (try Ylang-ylang since it is known to boost self-esteem, or Juniper oil which is strengthening, purifying and refreshing) 10ml of base oil, then add 4 large handfuls of caster sugar and mix to paste. -Concentrate on areas where hard skin is rougher, such as knees, elbows and feet. o If you did spend a little too much time out in the sun, try tis bath milk to soothe away those painful sunburns: -1 pint of fresh milk, 1 tbs of honey, 1tbs of ground oatmeal and 5 drops of Chamomile oil. Mix all the ingredients together and add to a warm bath. o Insect stings and bites: Before treating an insect sting, make sure that the sting is removed, if at all possible with tweezers. -For wasp and bee stings, apply repeated cold compresses of Witch Hazel and Lavender, until the immediate pain has eased. Then apply a couple drops of Lavender or Tea-Tree directly to the sting, repeat as necessary.

16

-For mosquito bites, apply neat lavender or Tea-Tree as required. If the bite becomes swollen and painful, apply cold compress of Lavender and German Chamomile. o Find a favorite relaxing spot, cue up some quiet music and try this summer foot soak: -Fill a bowl with warm water. Add a handful of freshly torn mint leaves and 10 drops of Tea-Tree oil - Hot, tired feet can benefit enormously from a lotion spray made from cool, boiled water and lotion mixed half and half. Add to this five drops of essential oil of cypress and five drops of YUZU(ten drops in total) to each 50mls. This should be massaged slowly into hot, tired feet. Remember that slow massage relaxes whereas speedy massage invigorates. o Cooling Sprays can be a refreshing way to cool down during the hot summer months. It is often used to spritz the face, wrists and hair. - There are two methods of making your own sprays. One way is simply to put ten drops of YUZU essential oil into a pint of cool, boiled water and shake it up. It will need to be shaken each time you use it. This can be used to spray rooms as a freshener, on your ironing when pressing, as well as spraying on oneself. A smaller quantity can be placed in a 100ml spray bottle for use in the car, your handbag or on the bedside table. During the night sweats of the menopause, sprays are a gentle way of cooling down speedily.

Autumn
Autumn is about to slowing down and building back your bodys strength, achieving balance and protecting yourself from the upcoming winter months. Autumn is also the season for regaining your balance: Skin and hair may need adjusting to colder days; sleep patterns may be thrown off by the clock change; and readjusting to the stress of a faster pace may be quite difficult after a dreamy summer. These treatments and essential oil combinations may help achieve equilibrium, both physically and mentally. As Autumn brings forth its cooler temperatures and richly colored falling leaves, it's a perfect time to enjoy diffusing and blending with warming essential oils like ginger, cardamom, cinnamon and clove. What to do

o Try adding a few drops of Black Pepper oil to the bath. Warming and comforting, it is perfect for soothing tired muscles. o Place paper tissues scented with essential oils in the linen cupboard between sheets, to gently perfume bed linens. -For autumn try using nourishing, balancing scents such as Grapefruit which restores emotional equilibrium, banishes moodiness, anger and stress; Rose to calm and bring emotional balance and diminish grief; Geranium which is balancing , cheering and gives back a sense of control or Lavender for a soothing, calming and relaxing affect.
18

By their nature, spicy essential oils like cinnamon,clove bud and ginger are strong and quite warming. A little goes a long way with these oils. They shouldn't be heavily diffused into a room as they can irritate the mucous membranes. It's best to blend stronger spice oils into more gentle oils like green tea oil.

Winter

The winter season can be quite hectic and overwhelming. The holiday hustle and bustle and leave you drained physically and mentally. So winter is a great time to restore energy levels and luxuriate in warming treatments. Essential oils are lightning fast mood and stress-relievers and in this potentially frantic period, they can be quite useful What to do o Add some revitalizing pine fragrance to a foot bath after a heavy day of Christmas shopping o Fill a bowl with warm water, add 5 drops of soothing German Chamomile, rinse a facial cloth in the water and spread it over clean face while having a quick lie down. (Putting used chamomile tea bags over the eyes can heighten the effect and wake up tired eyes) o There are many essential oils that are supportive of the immune system. They are also antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. When

20

winter ills start to appear prepare products such as simple rubbing oils for chests. Many do not appreciate just how powerful and useful they are: - Place 15 drops (in total) of essential oils (eg. Thyme, Lavender, Marjoram, Niaouli) into a mixture of two or three into 50mls of grapeseed oil and shake till blended. o The winter weather can leave the skin and hair dehydrated and often times need extra nourishment. Use essential oils such as Patchouli (to blow away the blues and stress), Green Tea oil (for relaxation and reenergizing) or Chamomile (for comfort and deep relaxation) to create a hand and foot cream to deeply rehydrate the skin. -Add 5ml of set honey and 15 drops of selected oils to plain hand cream and mix well. Massage a generous about of mixture on to the hands and feet, pop on some cotton gloves and socks- let the cream sink in and replenish the skins moisture levels. o If the winter blues are kicking in, there are plenty of uplifting, reenergizing oils that can be used around the house. Green Tea, Grapefruit, Geranium etc. -One simple method of using essential oils is to put one drop on a cotton wool ball which can then be deposited in various places around the house such as the dirty/clean linen basket, behind radiators, or inside cushion covers. As the aroma molecules are inhaled, the nature of the olfactory system changes the message from a chemical one into a neurological

21

one, and so has the mood enhancing effect; it also reaches the lungs and eventually passes into the blood stream via the alveoli thereby giving physical benefits too, such as renewed energy. -Essential oils can also be added to hot soapy water for cleaning, for example, lemon or lime for the fridge or the floor. o After the effort of making our New Year changes, it is good to relax and take stock. -Put five drops of calming essential oil such as Chamomile or Lavender, in the bath and luxuriate in it for ten minutes.

Green Tea Oil

Green tea is one of the most popular teas consumed, but many people have little known facts about this type of tea. They only know that its common in Japan and other parts of Asia, but they dont know the different types or how the tea gets its potency.

23

In Japan during the late autumn, the small fruits ripen from dark green to a yellowgolden colour, and now resemble oranges which measure about 7.0 cm (2 inches) in diameter. The peel is much less smooth than that of an orange, often having a more 'pitted' and 'bumpy' appearance. Interestingly, yuzu is one of the most cold resistant citrus fruits. It is a very effective oil for use with stress, burn-out, nervous tension or anxiety, where it helps to bring a soothing and calming effect to the emotions. Likewise it gives upliftment to depressive states, frustration, regret and also helps to build confidence.<21>
