| How and Why it Works |
| Catalytic burners were invented in the mid 19th century. In 1850 Scientists Justus Von Liebig and Charles Gerhart (discoverer of the Aspirin), in their quest to improve the health conditions of their time, invented the "Catalytic Burner System". The chemical reaction caused by the catalytic burner produces aldehydes, rising oxygen and ozona, compounds that prove to disinfect and purify the air. While its first antiseptic powers were primarily used in medical institutions-- today, especially in Europe,-- we find the catalytic burners, more commonly known as "Fragrance Lamps", in modern households. The catalytic effect occurs when alcohol based fuel (Aroma-Organics fuel) is passed to the heated catalytic surface and is oxidized. The catalytic effect oxidizes the fuel at a much lower temperature and allows for extremely clean burning. Unlike an open flame, the result is the dissemination of the essential oils at a low temperature with very little by-product. |
Catalytic Burners Clean and Purify the Air
| How does Aromatherapy work? When inhaled, essential oils affect our bodies in several ways. The essential oil component molecules enter the nasal passages where they stimulate the olfactory nerve. This sends messages directly into the limbic system. The limbic system, located in the brain, is the seat of memory, learning and emotion. The inhalation of the essential oils triggers changes within the limbic system which in turn can stimulate physiological responses within the body via the nervous, endocrine or immune systems. Either stimulation or sedation of body systems or organs may occur. Certain essential oils may have certain effects. For example, due to their effect on the brain and the subsequent sedating or stimulating of the nervous system, essential oils can also indirectly raise and lower blood pressure and possibly aid in normalization of hormonal secretion. The inhalation method can be useful for respiratory symptoms. Local application of diluted oils on various points (i.e. spinal nerves, chakras, and meridians) is effective for certain conditions. Massage Aromatherapy provides relaxation as well as a physiological action through the nervous system. In addition, when applied topically, essential oils can exhibit anti-microbial, antiseptic, anti-fungal, or anti-inflammatory properties. Although essential oils produce certain effects that can be counted on, they also adapt to the needs of different people. |
