The spiritualists and those who are aiming for a cleaner and
noble life, certain props come handy as it aid us towards a
cleaner aura, thus a better life and energy.
Origin of Perfumes is in the Middle East as many other
products. It was a combination of aromatics in olive oil in
ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt. Though certain conservative
Muslim sects are against the use of perfumes, others are okay
with „halaal‟ perfumes which are not alcohol based, But
Quran has kept a neutral stand about it, opines Muslim
scholars.
“How do the use of perfumes aid spirituality?”
Essential oils have now become a fad, with people rushing for
trendy diffusers for bringing in a spiritual and calm
atmosphere at home especially during meditation and prayer
sessions. Burning sage or incense is also the in thing. But
perfumes and essential oils for that matter work on a totally
different level on the body.
