   AROMATHERAPY

Essential oils are some of the oldest and most powerful therapeutic agents known. In their pure state, essential oils are also some of the most concentrated natural extracts known, exhibiting significant and immediate antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, hormone-balancing effects. In clinical practice, they have been shown to have a profound influence on the central nervous system, helping to reduce or eliminate pain, release muscle tension and provide strong emotional uplift.

  Aromatherapy and reflexology

Aromatherapy is an ancient good system to treat some disturbs and health problems. 
Essential oils improve the holistic approach by affecting the mind. Due to the fact that these oils stimulate the limbic system, the brain's own healing mechanism is triggered. By inhaling these fragrances during therapy, the scents' own healing power enters the bloodstream. When these oils activate the olfactory bulb, it sends electrical impulses to the Limbic system, which affects emotional behavior.
