JURLIQUE AND AROMATHERAPY--ITS USES AND A BRIEF HISTORYA few years before Jurlique began making Organic Aromatherapy products, Cleopatra indulged in olfactory stimulation, and jasmine oil was one of her favorites. After all, this essential oil acts as an aphrodisiac, with euphoric, uplifting and relaxing effects, and we know what effect Cleopatra had on the history of the Roman Empire with her many stratagems, sensory and otherwise. Aromatherapy furthered her ambitions and attractiveness to Caesar, and the rest is history.
The term "aromatherapy" was coined about sixty years ago by Rene Maurice Gattefosse, a French cosmetic chemist, and its roots can be traced back to the early Egyptian and Indian empires some 6000 years ago. Therapy with essential oils is relatively new as a healing discipline in its own right. Gattefosse's preliminary research showed that essential oils have profound effects on the skin.
Further investigations revealed that these essences could be successfully used not only as cosmetic agents, but also to treat medical skin conditions, such as dermatitis. He also realized the tremendous value of essential oils as antibacterial agents, and their potential for treating all kinds of infections. Essential oils share common medicinal qualities. As anti-bacterials and antiseptics, they inhibit the growth of bacteria. As anti-inflammatories, essential oils help reduce swelling. As analgesics, they help reduce pain. As cytophylactics, they promote cell rejuvenation when applied to skin.
Particularly in France and England this century, the movement by noted physicians and scholars within the naturopathic and medical communities prompted a re-awakening to the benefits of natural medicine and aromatherapy. Today in France it is common to find physicians who practice aromatherapy, pharmacies selling essential oils, and health insurance reimbursal for treatments using these approaches. Hopefully, as companies like AllPure Natural Skincare do their job educating people about Jurlique Organic Aromatherapy, the U.S. may catch up to our friends on the Continent.
