We have the benefit of the availability of the finest essential oils and produce the world offers on the market for those interested in perfumery and in use of oils in aromatherapy. They are in regular use in beauty parlours, healing clinics, churches and homes. Our practical use of perfume and incense is varied and interesting, not forgetting the personal use of in both male and female toiletries.

When we want to screen unpleasant odours we can use one of the many, but often unpleasant chemical sprays on the market. Or we can use natural scents such as eucalyptus, lavender, lemon and thyme and many others that have a beneficial nature and do not cause allergic reactions. It is good to walk into a home and our first breath is a pleasant one that sets a good atmosphere.

In Australia one of the most popular is the outdoor burning of lavender or sandalwood sticks to reduce the smells at barbeques. It proves helpful in reducing insect problems and also offers a particularly pleasant atmosphere.

Those who use incense for meditation find Church incense is often the best source of sacred and quality resins that are used in devotional or church ritual.

In aromatherapy, healing oils such as peppermint are used in aromatherapy with great success in massaging sore muscles around the spine and inhalation of lavender demonstrates positive relief of nervous strain and stress.

In therapy it is interesting to study the subtle healing influences of the essential, or pure, natural oils when they are applied externally or inhaled.  They are now regularly used in naturopathic clinics and by physiotherapists, aromatherapists and in conjunction with massage in beauty parlours.

Many scientists are attracted to research into the effect of essential oils upon the brain and are exploring their potential for psychological benefit as an alternative treatment to controversial psychiatric drugs.  In conjunction with their positive findings are also the tests that demonstrate the negative results of inhalation of various toxic smells and fumes. This indicates the care we should employ when deliberately or even  unconsciously inhaling the atmospheres of our immediate environment.

So enjoy the delights and have confidence in the benefits of inhaling the perfumes of nature’s wealth of influence in pure, vital, essential oils.
