What can aromatherapy help?

Aromatherapy is now used to treat a whole range of conditions and is believed to work on people both physically and psychologically. The first part of the theory is that when you smell an essential oil, it triggers your limbic system – the part of the brain that controls emotions and stores and retrieves learned memories – and relaxes you. The other part of the theory is that the essential oils are absorbed through the skin, and have medicinal properties which act on the cause of the problem.
Just some of the conditions aromatherapy is used to treat are:

Aromatherapy is a therapy based on the use of essential (concentrated) plant oils. The oils are usually massaged into skin, but can be put in a bath or inhaled.It’s not known exactly how aromatherapy works, but there is evidence to show that it does, and that it can be helpful as an alternative or complement to conventional medical treatment.

Aromatherapy has its roots in the most ancient healing practices of humankind. It is a delightful combination of aromatic essential oils and a deep relaxing massage. Essential oils can be derived from flowers, leaves, roots and fruits, and they all have their own therapeutic individualities. A combination of oils can be carefully chosen to help to lift or calm the spirit while helping the body to regain balance and equilibrium.
