Doesn’t it make you feel good inside when you smell something nice, like a nice perfume, a tasty dish being made in the kitchen or freshly cut roses in a vase filled with cold water? The art of aromatherapy is based on these positive feelings that are brought on by pleasant smells.
Aromatherapists hold the belief that a person’s sense of smell can stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself. The scent activates the body’s immune system, increasing its strength and capacity to fight invading microorganisms that cause disease, depending on the type of scent or combination of scents inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
Essential oils are used by aromatherapists to help the body heal and become more resistant to illness. The aromatic plants are used to extract these essential oils. They are frequently utilized in the production of perfume, scented candles, soap, and other beauty products.
Because they are very volatile, essential oils can be easily absorbed into the skin and evaporate. Aromatherapists, on the other hand, never use essential oils undiluted because of their high concentration. They can consume and bother the skin on the off chance that they come into direct contact with it.
Before being used, essential oils are always mixed with so-called carrier oils. What, presently, are transporter oils? They are vegetable oils, extricated from particular sorts of natural products, nuts, and vegetables. They are called transporter oils since they in a real sense convey the medicinal balm when blended and applied to the skin.
Aromatherapy practitioners hold the belief that each kind of essential oil and carrier oil has distinct properties and characteristics. A specific blend of essential oils and carrier oils is required to treat a particular condition. The mixture is then applied to the skin with a massage or added to the bath water. It is occasionally inserted into an air diffuser. The most frequently used essential oils and carrier oils are listed below, along with their respective properties and ailments.
