What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is a traditional healing method that dates back to ancient times. It’s the use of natural (mostly botanical) oils for inhalation for therapeutic purposes. It works by transporting the healing and soothing properties of the essential oils to the nerves. This nerve conveyance brought by the essential oils’ molecules promotes an emotional impact on the brain. This is what makes aromatherapy beneficial to one’s physical and mental well-being.
Aromatherapy is also used in spas but in recent years, it has become a staple in many homes as a part of their “self-care” kit. Now that you know how it works, let’s talk about its benefits.
