The sense of smell has been prominent in our lives since the beginning of time. Be it sensing fear or judging when the pie is cooked, our sense of smell helps our body and mind in more ways than we can imagine. Aromatherapy does exactly this. It is a practice that uses essential oils to calm our mind, sooth stressed out nerves and promote a deep sense of well-being.
Essential oils are the pure oils extracted from plants, and have a calming effect on the human body. Aromatherapy uses these essential oils along with other natural ingredients like Jojoba, clays and sea salts to provide a holistic healing experience and reduce the side-effects that may be caused by other medicine forms.
Benefits
While aromatherapy alone is not enough to cause diseases, it is used as a complementary treatment. The benefits of aromatherapy can be divided into two parts: psychological and physical. Psychologically, aromatherapy stimulates our brain to sooth frazzled nerve, reduce depression and mental anxiety. Physically, when applied to the skin, aromatherapy has healing properties. When inhaled, the aromas provide relief from congestion.
One thing that you need to keep in mind is that the essential oils are very strong, and should not be used directly on the skin or inhaled in their concentrated form. Most of the aromatherapy products you will find in the market contain diluted quantities of essential oils.
Uses
The gentle healing nature of aromatherapy allows us to include it in our daily course of life. Aromatherapy can be a part of your life in the form of:
- Skin care products
- Bath products
- Perfumes
- Decoratives (like Candles & Potpourri)
- Household/ laundry cleaners
Apart from these, aromatherapy is also used in combination with massage therapy and acupuncture.
