Clinical Aromatherapy is a natural medicine that uses therapeutic grade essential oils and other aromatic plant compounds in order to heal or improve your health.
Clinical Aromatherapy walks alongside Chinese medicine and Homeopathy. These have one thing in common: they are all based on healing with herbs. It is just the way the essence of that herb or plant is achieved that is different. Clinical Aromatherapy, therefore uses 100% pure, therapeutic grade essential oils. These are non-greasy pure oils extracted from a plant or herb in a natural, non-synthetic way. An essentil oil is so highly concentrated that a small drop will take you a long way - meaning it can be very powerful in low doses.
For those who are strong believers in pharmaceutical medicine, here is just one example of how powerful these oils are. The oil of Wintergreen - just 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of wintergreen oil is equivalent to approximately 7,000 mg of salicylate or 21.5 adult aspirin tablets.

How It Works
The inhalation of essential oils stimulates the part of the brain connected to smell - the olfactory system; a signal is sent to the limbic system of the brain that controls emotions and retrieves learned memories. This causes chemicals to be released which make the person feel relaxed, calm, or even stimulated.
Also, through breathing the oils in, particles of oil will go directly into your lungs and enter the blood that way. If the aromatherapy includes massage the effect is to further relax the person. But it doesn't stop at that. During a massage, essential oils get absorbed through the pores on the skin and enter the bloodstream. That way they have a direct pharmacological effect.
