One aspect of the function of olfaction is protective in warning us of danger. Another aspect is to increase our awareness of nature and developing our natural sensory enjoyment of beautiful scents and perfumes.

Different scents can unconsciously or consciously affect or trigger our moods. They can affect our deeper emotional memories and thoughts as we recall past experiences.

Perfumes, the natural perfumes of essential oils and natural substances, are found to have unique qualities of their own that makes them therapeutic and are used in the science of osmics for the express purpose of healing brain and body tissue. They are used to great advantage in the treatment of respiratory ailments.

Perfumes were used in ancient times in the ancient healing arts. Egyptian priests of long ago used inhalation of a perfumed oil as treatment for headaches, epilepsy and other diseases. Later, in the Middle Ages aromatics were used to ward off the plague and doctors considered it as a successful preventive measure. The use of smelling salts in recent centuries was later to become popular in Victorian times. Similarly many oils are used to relieve health problems and are regularly used by aromatherapists today for healing of brain and body.

Deliberate inhalation of perfumes and oils can be pleasurable and beneficial and some influence us in such a way as to elevate our mood or to calm our emotions. As the finest natural perfumes can help to make us feel good and to elevate our consciousness or calm our mood, so there are odours which are heavy, damaging to our cells, and depress our consciousness. We should avoid inhaling  petrol, traffic fumes, chemical fumes, and heavy or oppressive smells that can be decidedly detrimental, causing damage to our brain and nervous system. Glue “sniffing” is a conscious negative habit used by some young people who unfortunately suffer the consequences of brain damage.

It is necessary to discriminate in the choice of personal perfume and to learn more about the character of each essential oil if you wish to benefit by direct inhalation of their perfumes.

In modern life we are surrounded with scents and perfumes but not the natural ones that are so beneficial to use in reviving our energies and spirits as in the woodlands and outdoors in gardens and in natural surroundings.

The general use of perfumes in commerce, once an exciting new innovation, has now become a threatening influence, not only through volume but through the complex chemicals used, many of which are positively toxic to our health.

In the case of chemicals used in food production, some injurious substances have been identified. Health authorities for years have sought to determine carcinogenic material in particular and to restrict artificial colouring agents in food. But regulations have been shown to be difficult to put into practice and to police. The appearance of new substitute chemical agents is constantly increasing beyond the ability of the health authorities to keep pace with scientific proof of their safety.

Research into chemicals that are inhaled rather than ingested is taking longer. It is even more difficult a task to control the chemicals used in the perfume industry. Only recently has it become mandatory to list 26 of the presently identified carcinogenic or toxic chemicals used in commerce.

For our self protection, the message remains clear……

Avoid artificially produced scents and concentrate on conscious inhalation of the beneficial perfumes created by nature.

Respiration is so fundamental and dependable a physical process, that we are apt to take it for granted. We tend to overlook its importance, and the wonder of it. But specially, it is our breath we should recall, that allows us to speak, to sing, and to enjoy the gift of creative language allowing us to communicate our thoughts.

The yogis over many centuries of observation of human breathing have amassed valuable information about the breath in relation to all aspects of the human psyche with the aim to employ this knowledge in assisting those seeking to improve not only physical health but their mental fitness.

Learning breath control produces physical results and psychological benefits beyond the most obvious one of maintaining and even strengthening the hold we have on life, through the link between body and soul. Not only does conscious breathing increase body energy but deeper breathing, in particular, stimulates all our mental faculties and sharpens our spiritual awareness.

We will feel more vital and in better mental health if we remember that the greater capacity we have to breathe deeply and easily, the more energy we will have – it is that simple.

One aspect of the function of olfaction is protective in warning us of danger. Another aspect is to increase our awareness of nature and to add sensory enjoyment of beautiful scents and perfumes. This enriches our appreciation of life, particularly natural life. We would feel it a loss if we could no longer inhale the perfume of a rose or enjoy the freshness of the forests.

Aromatics are intimately connected with the memory centres of the brain which file away previous sense memories and experiences.  Different scents can unconsciously or consciously affect or trigger our moods, our deep emotions and our thoughts, depending upon our associated experiences.

But this is not the only power that aromatics possess. They are found to have unique qualities of their own that can be employed for our physical and mental benefit through inhalation and absorption by our brain and body tissues.

Essential oils and natural perfumes have a positive value in healing disturbances of the mind and emotions as well as the body. This establishes aromatherapy as a subtle method and Osmics as a proven, although subtle science. Many practitioners now employ aromatics in the art of healing both physical and psychological stress and strain.

To improve our enjoyment and the benefits of subtle perfumes, aromatics and essential oils we must cultivate our breathing and particularly learn to deepen our inhalation.

In our modern lifestyle we are not constantly surrounded by natural life in our environment and the myriad of complex emanations that issue from man-made material around us is apt to dominate the subtler and beautiful perfumes and aromas found in nature’s wilderness, gardens and forests. This is to our disadvantage. When deprived of the pure scents of flowers and plant life, our health of both body and mind suffers.

Whereas the ideal would seem to be to balance our lives by walking in the outdoors, roaming in bushland and forests, most of us have little time to devote to these pleasures and it is reasonable to bring Nature’s aromas to us as an alternative. This can be done by means of pure and adulterated essential oils that offer us exquisite concentrates. All we have to do is to consciously inhale them!
