In ancient Ayurvedic scriptures aromatherapy is often mentioned. For example, Ayurveda will recommend to a depressed person to take a walk along a stream where Jasmine flowers are blooming. Inhale the fragrance and you will be uplifted. In Ayurveda, many plants are categorized and assigned for their specific use
Ayurvedic Incenses are nourishing and balancing formulas to support the energy of each Chakra. Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or vortex and is used to describe the energy centres of the body. In the yogic tradition Chakras are depicted as Lotus flowers, each with a different number of petals, similar to the lotus symbols found on the label.
Today, Western scientific studies have confirmed the many ways scents affect the mind, the emotions and even the health of the body. The benefits of fragrance go far beyond mere sensory pleasure: specific scents can be used to increase mental clarity, calm the emotions, and even aid in intellectual activities, such as test-taking. Psychologists have also found that fragrance reaches very deep into those sections of the brain that govern memory, instinct and emotional response; everyone has a favourite scent that evokes long-lost experiences and brings back, in tangible form, images of the past.
