“Integrated Medicine“ by Plant Replacement Therapy and Western Medicine
Plant replacement therapy has been used since ancient times in folk medicine using plants.

It is said to be the oldest use of aromatherapy in the world.
The use of plants began in ancient times, and even today, humans and plants coexist and have a close relationship.
And the way plants are used has changed with the times, culture, and science.
From the Middle Ages, when plants were used not only for food and beauty but also for herbal medicines, etc.
With the evolution of mankind and the times, western medicine has gradually become mainstream.
Prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs, which are synonymous with Western medicine, are extracted from plants.
Most consist of a single synthetic component.
Oriental medicine, which has a track record and a deep history in China and other countries even today,
As a folk remedy rooted mainly in the West,
Alternative therapies, such as herbal remedies, are also popular.
Western medicine and alternative therapies, including preventive and coping therapies to stay healthy,
Traditional remedies and alternative remedies are instructed by doctors, experts, individuals, etc.
Combining both is also becoming mainstream.
Integrated Medicine = Western Medicine + Traditional and Alternative Therapies

What is Aromatherapy?
It is a plant replacement therapy using “essential oil,” which is an aggregate of aromatic molecules extracted from natural plants.

How does Aromatherapy Work on the Mind and Body?
Aroma essential oils are aggregates of aromatic molecules, so they are said to be beneficial against resistant bacteria.
Various effects can be expected because each aroma essential oil has different aromatic components.
Three Routes to Work on the Mind and Body
①From the sense of smell to the brain
②From the respiratory tract to the whole body via the blood
③From the skin to the whole body via blood and lymph
The reason why domestic and foreign books have long described the effects of various essential oils on the mind and body
This is because it is backed up by a lot of evidence.
Essential oils are highly concentrated, so be sure to dilute them before use.
Undiluted solution use other than by experts is strictly prohibited!

Precautions Regarding the Use of Aroma Essential Oils
There are many imitations, but let’s use essential oils of reliable quality.
Applying or drinking undiluted essential oils is strictly prohibited. When applying to the skin, dilute them with vegetable oil to the appropriate concentration before use. It is safe to use after checking in specialized books.
Since essential oils deteriorate, check the date of manufacture and the expiry date from the time of opening. Deteriorated essential oils have an adverse effect on the mind and body.
After opening, store essential oils in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
Aromatherapy is contraindicated for people with fever, after drinking alcohol, or with cancer. It may also be contraindicated if you are taking medication, are pregnant, or have a medical condition such as epilepsy, as the use of essential oils may have undesired adverse effects on the mind and body.
In Japan, essential oils are treated as miscellaneous goods, and herbs are treated as foods, but they have pharmacological effects. You may be able to use them more safely by consulting with a specialist, doctor, or pharmacist. If you are taking medication, be careful as it interacts with essential oils and herbs!
Essential oils are “use at your own risk in principle.” Let’s understand the good and bad effects (contraindications and precautions) and use them while observing the usage, capacity, and usage period.
Create and use handmade aroma cosmetics at your own risk. Products made must not be sold, and diagnostics and violations of the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Law are also prohibited. Familiarize yourself with relevant laws and regulations and use them safely and correctly.
Remember to enjoy aroma safely!
