Please bring your aluminum cans to the church and place them in the appropriate cans outside the kitchen door. Thank you for your continued support. Aromatherapy - Healing Art By Lil Hamilton, Healthcare Services Aromatherapy, as a healing art, has risen from relative obscurity to popular awareness in the past decade. Apart from the healing properties of plant essences, aromatherapy's chief healing potential stems from its ability to promote relaxation and to impart a sense of joy, or tranquility in the recipient. In so doing it creates favorable conditions within the body and mind for healing to take place naturally.
Aromatherapy combines fragrant oils with massage therapy evoking the senses of smell and touch.
Even though massage is the mainstay of the art of aromatherapy, essential oils can be used in a variety of other ways for healing or simply for pleasure. Hospice uses lavender oil in the care of some terminally ill patients. I have used it as a pain control additive in the hospital in combination with more traditional therapies. They can do as much for people too. Studies have shown lavender and neroli promotes the growth of healthy skin cells.
