How does Aromatherapy Works?

In the earlier article we read about the basics of aromatherapy and essential oil, so how does aromatherapy works?

Now imagine a world without smell. Imagine you have no nose. First of all you will look ugly and more importantly you will not be able to smell the beautiful and yucky things. When my mom cooks, the aroma that enters my nose stimulates my hunger and I wait in anticipation to enjoying the good food. Similar when I pick up a rotten egg and try to fry it, my brain automatically warns me the food is bad and throw it away. With aromatherapy, the smell received will triger and stimulate positively the part of our brain that controls our emotions, memories, learning and mood.

Few Ways…

Now there are few ways to enhance the use of aromatherapy products.

Physical Application

Oils that are applied to the skin are believed to be absorbed into the bloodstream. However take note never to apply undiluted essential oil to your body as it will cause more harm than good. To apply essential oils to the skin, carrier oils which are pure vegetable oils are used to dilute the essential oils and “carry” them to the skin. I will go into more details of carrier oils especially Shea butter in my next article. So the next time you buy essential oil, wise up! If the salesgirl says 100% pure essential oil, test her if is ok to apply directly to the skin, if she say yes, please by all means educate her. Also be careful when you massage someone with essential oils, make sure you don’t massage the genitals and private part thinking it will grow bigger or firmer. It simply doesn’t work that way. However some essential oils are good for shinier, bouncier hair. Just google more on the effects of aromatherapy oils.

Smell smell…

With pure essential oils, you can actually use the burner(diffuser), put a few drops and mix with water and slowly burn it so the smell comes out and you can enjoy the full benefits of the product.

Chew & Swallow?
