Aromatherapy is the art and science of utilising naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to enhance both emotional and physical wellbeing.
UNDERSTANDING THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT:
Your sense of smell is the most powerful sense you have. A single whiff of an aroma can evoke feelings and memories long forgotten. When you inhale a fragrance, the smell itself bypasses your “thinking brain” and goes directly to the limbic system, the part of the brain that controls certain impulses which is connected to the areas of the brain that process emotions, desires, appetites, and memories as well as the endocrine glands which regulate hormone levels in the body. For this reason, aromas have a subtle but very powerful influence on our mind and body and can be very valuable for the purpose of mood alteration
WHY AROMATHERAPY:
It is a way of treating emotional and physical imbalances through inhalation and external application of essential oils in massages, baths, etc.
Aromatherapy is not about fragrance, but about healing. It is therapeutic.
Lavender calms, Eucalyptus is for self-love, Patchouli grounds while Ylang-ylang is for simplicity; all are designed to be blended according to how you feel. If you feel anxiety, you can blend Lavender, Eucalyptus and Patchouli together. If you’re studying and need to stay awake, blend Peppermint for better focus with Bergamot for increased confidence.
Either way, you can use scent to build an association or memory tie so that your brain relaxes faster whenever you smell the blend (or perk you up with the study blend).
WAYS TO USE PURE ESSENTIAL OILS:
Diffusers: It’s one of the most common ways as the diffuser disseminates the aroma of essential oils in the air around you. The aromatic atmosphere helps you calm your anxiety and also aids with a goodnight’s sleep.
Massage: Simply adding a few drops of essential oil to your massage oil can do wonders. It can have an immediate and positive effect on our mood by releasing negative emotions and will help in relieving fatigue and anxiety.
Add essential oils to your bath water: Many individuals discover comfort in indulging a hot shower, particularly when they encounter stressful circumstances. When essential oils are added to bath water, it can upgrade the experience and help you unwind and loosen up.
Use it as steam: Essential oils can help relieve congestion and sinus blockage, when they are coupled with steam. Add a few drops of essential oils to hot water, and inhale the relaxing scent.
