Greetings Lavender Buds!
While the Lavenderology™ line features different Essential Oils in the product line, the main Essential Oil found in every product is Lavender. Lavender Essential Oil has a sweet herbal aroma with a floral/woodsy combination of notes. Widely recognized and loved by many! Today I'm going to talk about Essential Oils in general, then I'll focus on the benefits of Lavender Essential Oil specifically.
Essential Oils : What ARE Essential Oils? An Essential Oil, simply put, is what gives spices and herbs their specific scent and flavor and flowerrs and fruit their aroma.
Each plant can have a different source of its oil; balsam, bark, flowers, leaves, resin, roots, skin, wood... Some plants have multiple sources of different oils, producing different oils and aromas from different parts. (i.e. the bud, petals, leaves, stem all on one plantt...)
How can Essential Oils be beneficial? There are three ways Essential Oils can interract with the human body:
1) Pharmacological: The chemical change that takes place when an Essential Oil enters the blood stream and reacts with hormones and enzymes.
2) Physiological : How Essential Oils affect the sysem of he body.
3) Psychological: When the essence is inhaled and the body responds to the aroma.
Many believe that the benefits of an Essential Oil are purely from inhaling the aroma, though it is true that the aromatic essence comes into play, a large part of the benefits of an Essential Oil are how the body interacts and the physical changes that happen.
Though used for thousands of years with pleasing effects and all sorts of treatments; people are still studying the amazing benefits of Essential Oils on the body and mind. While different Essential Oils can have positive effects on specific parts of the body, even certain organs within the body, nervous systems, etc... the study is immense on finding out more ways we can use nature ~ harnassing the pure essence of Essential Oils to benefit the human body.
For people, who like me who prefer alternative treatments to prescription medications, this is a huge plus!
What we know for sure is certain oils heal the body and mind and this is where Lavenderology™ comes into play. At Lavenderology™ I focus on the pure Essential Oil of Lavender. Mostly used in the World for it's aroma in fragrang applications, Lavender is being used more and more as a healing agent for problems from head to toe.
With many methods of use from ingesting flowers as a food or sipping as a tea, inhaling aromas, or soaking in a tub ~ there are as many ways to USE the oil (and plant) as there are things to treat!
