“Essential oils and their fragrances have an often underestimated impact on our well-being. Aromatherapy is based on knowledge that was already used in the times of the Egyptians and in ancient Greece. This knowledge is therefore the essence of many years of empirical findings. In contrast, the systematic study of aromatherapy is a very new science. Thanks to the results of new research, many of the traditionally known effects have now also been scientifically proven.”
Dr Christel Adomat, JUST Head of Product Innovation
Essential oils determine the scent of the plant and for this reason are also referred to as the “soul of the plants”. The herbal powerhouses can have a mood-lifting or calming effect and help us to achieve physical and mental well-being. Essential oils are available as mono-oils (oil of a single plant) or compositions (blends of oils from several plants). They are highly concentrated and can have strong effects and for this reason care should be taken to ensure the correct dosage.
Effect
Essential oils are natural all-rounders. They often fulfil several requirements at the same time and act on different levels. Aromatherapy affects us on two different levels – both physically & mentally.
The oils can have a caring, stimulating, cleansing, relaxing or regenerating effect on our minds and skin. On the mental level, for example, the oils boost our concentration, alleviate fear and tension, enhance our feeling of well-being, strengthen our courage and inspire our creativity. This mental effect is usually quick and individual, as the scent of the oils directly reaches the part of the brain that is responsible for our feelings through the nose. The effect of the oils unfolds even when we are not consciously aware of them. They can have an unconscious influence on us and act unobtrusively on the emotional and mood level.
