Aromatherapy oils have long featured in various types of complementary therapy, and provide numerous wellness benefits. Exposure to oils in the form of aromatherapy massage is a luxurious spa treatment for very good reason. While the massage relaxes the body, the oils are inhaled and the limbic system is stimulated, leading to a soothing and balancing effect on heart rate, blood pressure, digestion and stress levels. The use of various scents in oil burners around the house can help you create an atmosphere of wellbeing for all who inhabit it. Equally, high quality essential oils can be carried with you and inhaled whenever you feel in need of a boost.
Aromatherapy and essential oils include a range of types covering multiple conditions. Some oils aim to relax, while others are chosen for their energizing effect. It is advisable to consult a qualified therapist or comprehensive guidebook in choosing the scent most suitable for you. In the meantime, why not experiment with scents that you like, or even treat yourself to an aromatherapy massage and consultation!
