What is aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is a form of holistic therapy (Holistic therapy is a form of healing that considers the whole person; body, mind, spirit, and emotions in the quest for optimal health and wellness) that works through sense of smell and the skin. Aromatherapy practitioners use natural plant extracts, usually in the form of essential oils, to promote physical health and emotional well-being. Holistic medicine takes a whole person to approach the mind, body, and spirit.

Aromatherapy is thought of as both an art and a science. Recently, aromatherapy has gained more recognition in the fields of science and medicine.

This therapy works through the sense of smell and skin absorption using products like these:

• Diffusers.
• Aromatic spritzers.
• Inhalers.
• Bathing salts.
• Body oils, creams, or lotions for massage or topical application.
• Facial steamers.
• Hot and cold compresses.
• Clay masks.

Aromatherapy with essential oils.

Apart from providing a pleasant smell, aromatherapy with essential oils can provide respiratory disinfection, decongestant, and psychological benefits. Breathing essential oils stimulates the olfactory system, the part of the brain connected to smell, including the nose and the brain. Essential oils can help relax the body, help you sleep, reduce headaches and enhance massage therapy.
