How Aromatherapy Can Change Your Life

You may have heard of Aromatherapy but you probably have no idea
what it is or how it can change your life. Perhaps you’ve seen ads for
aromatherapy massage or even purchased what you thought were
aromatherapy candles in the store. Most likely, you don’t understand
much about aromatherapy or the wonderful healing powers possessed
by true aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy is an ancient Eastern art that has been practiced for
thousands of years. Although it is hardly anything “new” it sometimes
takes a little bit of time for people in the West to discover such things
such as natural healing, especially when it is not in the best interest of
the very powerful medical and pharmaceutical communities.

Those of us who live in the West have an entirely different mindset th
those in the East. In the West, when someone gets ill, they go to the
doctor who more often than not, prescribes medication to treat or cure
the ailment. The medication is produced in a laboratory and conta
synthetic chemicals. Pharmaceuticals are big business and doctors ar
often courted by sales people from the companies to prescribe the
product.

Go to a doctor in the West for a bit of anxiety and they will prescribe an
depressants such as Zoloft. Chances are your doctor will have a
prescription pad in his or her hand when they walk into the room. Zo
is among the many different anti depressant medications that are
relatively new on the market and lumped under SSRIs. The long term
side effects of these drugs are not known, although they will most li
cause liver damage after long usage.

No doctor it the West will prescribe any alternative treatment, such as
aromatherapy. Some might tell you to exercise and take vitamins to
combat anxiety, but most won’t even do that. The medical community
dances on the strings held by the pharmaceutical companies and the
name of the game in pharmaceuticals is to give people synthetic drugs
that are addictive and costly so that they can make money.
