Aromatherapy essential oils are more than just pleasant smells. They can ease life's stresses; help you cope with anxiety, and depression; make you feel more relaxed and improve your sleep; help improve the quality of your life if you suffer from long-term health problems; lift your mood; relieve headaches; and kill bacteria and viruses, amongst other things.
Properly utilised, essential oils can be inhaled, absorbed into the skin through massage, used as a hydrolat, and added to household cleaning products and used in perfumes.
When choosing essential oils for your well-being, it is important to let your aromatherapist know of any disorders and medications. This will help in choosing a set of suitable oils for your treatment, during which, you will enjoy absorbing the aromas through your skin and olfactory receptors, enabling you to really benefit from the whole experience.
