The essence of health

People selling houses know that the smell of baking bread or freshly brewed coffee makes their house appealing just as a whiff of broken drains or cabbage soup does not. It isn’t surprising, then, that my mood lifted even before I stepped into Oana’s Grigorescu apartment. The sweet spicy smell of a Christmas season blend of essential oils she was diffusing into the air had spread out onto the stairwell. The smell was gentle and made me feel light and happy in the way warm sunshine on your face does. Essential oils can be used singly or in blends to strengthen your immune responses and help your body to cleanse itself of toxins. Some oils can be effective in helping healing and recovery from disease. For instance, nutmeg is anti-inflamatory, anticoagulant, antiseptic, antiparasitic and analgesic. It protects the liver and stomach and stimulates the adrenal gland and circulation while relaxing muscles and increasing the production of melatonin. The right ones can also enhance moods and sharpen attention. The essences are distilled from the high quality natural ingredients and are concentrated into therapeutic grade oils. They are so powerful that only one or two drops are needed at a time for diffusion, massage or more specialist use by an experienced aroma therapist.
