What Is Aromatherapy?

By definition, aromatherapy is a method of enhancing your overall well-being by using scents. Knowing what you want to achieve and how each essential oil works is an important part of the practice. Practitioners believe that there are receptors in the nasal passages that can send messages to your nervous system. Since certain smells are associated with corresponding emotions, the nervous system is believed to respond accordingly.  

Does Aromatherapy Work?

Aromatherapy has been practiced for centuries, and many believe that it's beneficial. Although few clinical trials have been conducted on humans, using aromatherapy essential oils has been shown effective in other types of studies. Those familiar with the alternative therapy recommend that the maximum benefits can be achieved when an aromatherapy essential oil diffuser is placed approximately every 800 square feet or applied to the skin using skin-safe aromatherapy body oil.

How Does Aromatherapy Work?

Although research into the effectiveness of aromatherapy is promising, scientists are still studying the benefits of using scent to address physical and mental health concerns. At this time, there is not enough evidence to prove that aromatherapy is beneficial for addressing any particular concern, and aroma-therapeutic products are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of any illnesses or diseases. There are a number of ways that people may use essential oils for aromatherapy. When diluted with water or mixed with a carrier oil, essential oils can be used for massage or applied to the skin. Some people produce mists of water and essential oils to spray their clothing, pillowcases, furniture and other fabrics in their homes. In addition, essential oils may be added to bathwater.

How To Use Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is popular because of its calming and relaxing properties. Aromatherapy can be utilized in various ways. The most common ways to do aromatherapy are inhalation and topical application. For inhalation, you can put a few droplets of your chosen essential oil into a diffuser or even in a steamy bath. For topical application, you must mix your aromatherapy oils with a carrier oil prior to applying it directly to your skin. You can get creative in the ways you can use aromatherapy.

What Are Aromatherapy Essential Oils?

Essential oils are the materials used for aromatherapy interventions. The oily liquids are made from various parts of plants, such as their leaves, flowers, bark, peels, stems and roots. Manufacturers can produce essential oils through a number of methods like steam distillation or pressing. Some of the most commonly used essential oils are lavender oil, tea tree oil, bergamot, cedarwood, lemon and chamomile. You can read the product descriptions to learn more about the scents of various natural essential oils and what benefits may they provide. Aromatherapy can also be performed with a diffuser, a device that releases essential oils into the air. Some diffusers feature cotton wicks that you simply saturate with essential oils. Others produce steam with a heating element or vapor by producing sonic vibrations.

What Are the Benefits of Aromatherapy?

Whether aromatherapy essential oils are inhaled or used in body care products, such as lotions and perfumes, aromatherapy is known for a litany of benefits. While some studies have associated aromatherapy with pain relief, others have found additional benefits. From anxiety relief to improved sleep and reduced depression levels, aromatherapy is a good alternative for those who prefer to try more natural treatments. When used as directed, each essential oil is considered safe.
