Introduction

Aromatherapy is the practice of using volatile plant oils to enhance the psycho-logical and physical aspects of an individual. It is a form of healing that utilizesthe natural aromatic aspect of plants using their essential oils for the invigoratingor uplifting scents, and for their innate medicinal properties.There is close to 100 essential oils used in aromatherapy techniques. Essentialoils such as that of Yuzu and Green tea provides a wide range of health benefitswhen used properly.Essential oils are extracted (usually by steam distillation) from herbs, plants,fruits, and flowers, which work once they come into contact with the bloodstream. Reactions are triggered in the brain, while physical changes take place to

ease the symptoms of many different common ailments. In addition, essential oilsact on the emotional and mental states through their fragrances and can have animmediate and powerful effect that defies rational analysis.Aromatherapy can improve the well-being and quality of life, all through the useof aromatic essential oils.

The Muscles

Muscles enable to the body to move through interactionwith the bones and joints. Whereas the skeleton is a

scaffold of bones that gives the body sufficient rigidity

to stay upright, the muscles connected to the bones

allow movement. These muscles are known as

voluntary muscles, because we control them

consciously; they are muscles that come into play

whenever we decide to move. Involuntary muscles are

not under our conscious control.

These muscles are indirectly affected by massagethrough the relaxation of the whole body.

Aromatherapy massage using anti spasmodic essential oils relaxes involuntary

muscle, and essential oils with cardiac tonic properties strengthen the heart.

The classic blends combine essential oils that can help tone and warm muscles in

preparation for sport or other strenuous activity, and which also release tightknotted tension after sport. These massage blends are particularly effective when

used immediately before or after a sporting activity.

The digestive system

The digestive system consists of the digestive tract and

ancillary organs. The digestive tract begins with the mouth,followed by the oesophagus,stomach, large intestine, small

intestine, rectum and anus.

The ancillary organs are the salivary glands liver, gall

bladder and pancreas. The functions of the digestive system

are the ingestion of foods, peristalsis, digestion and absorption, where the food is

broken down and assimilated into the body, and the defecation of waste products.

Common digestive complaints include diarrhoea, constipation and a build-up of

gas. Essential oils with anti-spasmodic properties help to relax the smooth muscle

that lines the intestine and facilitate the release of gas.

Constipation- massaged gently over the abdomen in clockwise direction.

Diarrhoea- is usually caused by fear,viral infection, bacteria, poisons, bad food

and allergic reactions. Gentle abdominal massage or baths or sniffed from tissue is

effective.

The respiratory system

The respiratory system includes the nose, throat, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs,

alveoli and diaphragm. The order of these components follows the path of inhaledair through the nose, down the windpipe into the lungs, plus the rising of the

diaphragm. With exhalation, the order is reversed and the diaphragm sinks. The

actual respiration process is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between

the atmosphere and the cells in the body.

Aromatherapy massage on the chest, abdomen, diaphragm and upper back is of

direct benefit to the respiratory system, especially when there is a cold, cough or

other respiratory problem. anti-spasmodic properties, which means that they relax

the bronchioles in the lungs.

The nervous system

The nervous system is highly

complex, and functions as thebody s communication network

and control centre. It is divided

into two principal parts, the central

nervous system (CNS) and the

peripheral nervous system(PNS)

though there are several

subdivision as well. The CNS

consists of the brain and spinal

cords. The PNS comprises the

nerve processes linking the CNS with muscles and glands. The PNS subdivides in

the afferent and efferent systems, and the latter subdivides into the somatic nervoussystem and autonomic nervous system(ANS).The ANS is divided into sympathetic

and parasympathetic systems.

Aromatherapy has a powerful affect on the nervous system. Massage with

appropriate essential oils can reduce or eliminate pain, reduce anxiety levels,

alleviate muscle spasm and tension, and promote general feeling of calm,

relaxation and overall wellbeing.

The immune system

The immune system is our self-defence against literally millions of

micro-organisms that continuously try to invade and occupy our bodies.Specialized blood cells together with the lymphatic system make up our immune

system. Some of the bodys defences are non-specific and protect us against

harmful microbes, while other defences target specific invading agents.

Aromatherapy helps the immune system, because essential oils support and

strengthen the bodys immune response with a dual action. Some essential oils with

anti-microbial properties fight the microbes, while other essential oils with

immuno-stimulant properties boost the bodys natural defences.

Massage, inhalations and compresses are all useful, depending on individual

circumastances.

The lymphatic system

The lymphatic system is the bodys cleaning system, and parallel to the bloods

circulation system, which help provide immunological protection against infection.However, unlike the heart, which pumps the blood around the body, the lymph

system uses pressure from the normal activity of the surrounding muscles to

circulate the lymph. Lack of exercise and insufficient muscle movement can,

therefore, affect the way the lymph system functions. For example, cellulite is

caused by the retention of toxins due to poor lymphatic circulation.

The massage works from the extremities,(up to lymph nodes)ultimately in the

directions of clavicle. Here the lymph system drains into the blood at the

subclavian vein, directly under the clavicle. The abdomen is also massaged,

because there are many lymphatic glands and vessel situated here.

Glosary/Esential oil

Green Tea OilGreen tea is one of the most popular teas consumed, but many people have little knownfacts about this type of tea. They only know that its common in Japan and other parts of

Asia, but they dont know the different types or how the tea gets its potency. Green teais steamed to get the leaves off so that it can be boiled down through steeping and

condensed just enough so that it can be made into other things from hair care productsto diet aids.

Aromatherapy is huge with green tea oil since the scent does something for people ithelps them sleep better and even more lowers stress. Theres a coinciding fact thatsomething about the part of the brain is triggered by scent and green tea with that crispbold scent helps people to relax more and has that calming effect that many find to bepleasant and pleasing at the same time.

And also, green tea is known to have health property for cardiovascular health since

there are a higher number of heart diseases today than there was more than 30 yearsago. This is going to be one of the biggest issues being tackled today is heart diseaseand cancer and more people will be looking towards using alternative medicine fortreating their ailments.

Possible Uses: Aching muscles, arthritis, nausea, poor circulation.

is wonderful for reducing stress, relaxation and re-energizing,

reduce muscle aches and rejuvenate various parts of the body.

Yuzu Essential Oil

Citrus junos is a small tree that produces yellow-golden coloured citrus fruitsresembling small oranges or tangerines. The peel of the fruit produces a delightfulcitrus fragrance with a floral overtone which is quite unique and difficult to describe.This fruit is known in Japan as Yuzu, and like most citrus fruits will yield anessential oil by cold expression.

23


24/30

In Japan during the late autumn, the small fruits ripen from dark green to a yellow-golden colour, and now resemble oranges which measure about 7.0 cm (2 inches)in diameter. The peel is much less smooth than that of an orange, often having amore 'pitted' and 'bumpy' appearance. Interestingly, yuzu is one of the most coldresistant citrus fruits.

It is a very effective oil for use with stress, burn-out, nervous tension or anxiety,where it helps to bring a soothing and calming effect to the emotions. Likewise itgives upliftment to depressive states, frustration, regret and also helps to buildconfidence.

Possible Uses: Yuzu is well known for its use in personal fragrances.

Limited reliable information exists on the use of Yuzu in other

specific applications. Its Pleasant aroma makes Yuzu a goodcandidate for uplifting diffuser blenintended to help with anxiety,depression and nervousness. Children are very likely to enjoy the

aroma.
