Color & Aromatherapy: the properties of Purple and Lavender

That colors are able to activate our vital center has been known for millennia: we can find its application in Indian, Chinese, Tibetan and Egyptian medicine. Each color, in fact, has its own particular vibration, which is capable of influencing human nature. Today, color therapy shows that through their sensitive vibration, colors can profoundly change our energy and emotions.

Aromatherapy is a therapeutic method that brings well-being through the aromatic essences, which help healing on a physical, mental and spiritual level. In fact, essential oils can be easily perceived by our olfactory system because they are volatile and odorous substances. Inhalating these essences can stimulate our brain to release chemicals that counteract stress and other internal conflicts. In addition to the healing qualities for the body, Aromatherapy also has the power to influence the psychological sphere because of the connection between our olfactory system, our emotional part and memory. All this happens because the odors coming from the essential oils directly affect the nerve centers of the brain excluding the involvement of rational thought: so they touch your spiritual aspects through the care of the psyche, to influence the unconscious. It also helps in meditation and visualization techniques.

The term “aromatherapy” was defined in 1920, but its origins are much older, when our ancestors discovered that certain aromatic plants, if burned, were able to alter the state of consciousness.

The Lavender Room

Purple, symbol of spirituality, emotion, let go of the unconscious without much mind control, also accentuates the intensity of emotional ties. Enhances fantasy inhibiting rationality and therefore makes people more sensitive, human, receptive and open to others. Great friend of the art, this color promotes creativity in all its forms through the ability to trigger strong feelings.

At the same time Lavender, with its delicate and soothing color, is the essence of tranquility and relaxation. This plant is particularly suitable for hyperactive children or who sleep badly, but also very effective on adults tense and stressed people suffering from insomnia, or on those who still tend to overload the nervous system.

Also used as an antifungal and antiviral, it is also used to treat migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, and whooping cough. Externally the Lavender is known for its miraculous benefits in case of sunburn and skin inflammations.
