Good evening!
I thought I’ll just explain a little bit about aromatherapy.
What is aromatherapy?
🌿 Aromatherapy is a holistic healing practice that uses essential oils extracted from plants to promote physical and emotional well-being. It’s often considered both an art and a science, blending ancient traditions with modern therapeutic techniques.
🌸 How It Works
Aromatherapy works primarily through:
• Inhalation: Scents stimulate the olfactory system, influencing mood, memory, and emotions.
• Topical application: Oils are diluted with carrier oils and absorbed through the skin, often during massage.
🌼 Common Uses
People turn to aromatherapy for:
• Reducing stress, anxiety, and depression
• Improving sleep quality
• Easing pain, headaches, and muscle tension
• Supporting digestion and immune function
