Aromatherapy is an ancient practice, but one that is still alive and well today. By using aromatic mixtures to help your body you can reach a better state of well-being.

Ancient roots

Societies in ancient times knew about the healing powers of certain herbs, and the use of oils for therapeutic, ritual or hygienic purposes was practiced throughout the ancient world. From ancient Greece to China people used oils, aromas and other natural methods to help heal certain conditions. Over time, the practices became more advanced and comprehensive, which eventually lead to the founding of aromatherapy in the early 20th century. Medical practitioners claimed to have used it to treat conditions across the world, and many people swear by it to this day.

How does it work?

The practice is based around the use of oils to help alter your mood or improve your well-being. Essential oils are applied either topically as creams, through diffusion in the air, or through direct application. The brain is affected by the aroma and it has been said to reduce anxiety and pain, as well as possess other healing properties.

What are the benefits?

The benefits of aromatherapy come through the blending of oils. This creates certain mixtures that are more potent than the oils would be individually. Those who use the treatment have said they they’ve noticed:

  • Reduced stress - aromas soothe your brain and relax the body. This helps ease away your worries and troubles.
  • Energy boost - while many people use them to relax, there are blends of oils that help give you energy as well. Normal stimulants can be harmful to the body. Aromatherapy is a safe and natural way of getting that extra boost that you need.
  • Better sleep - the relaxation that results from inhaling the aroma leads to better quality of sleep. This is because your body is more primed to go to sleep and you can drift off quickly.
  • Pain relief - Our bodies ache more and more as we get older. Soothing blends of oil can help relax your brain and dull the body. This will help your pains go away while you are relaxing.
