What is aromatherapy?
Use of scented candles is one popular method.
How does it really work?
Well, here is a brief overview .....
What is aromatherapy? The word came from two ancient Greek words: "aroma" meaning fragrance or pleasant smell and "therapeia" that means healing or simply it means "treatment using scents". This therapeutic treatment is now a widely practiced complementary medicine using fragrant essential oils that are extracted from aromatic plants, seeds, flowers, leaves, barks and fruits to aid in healing. We frequently hear that burning scented candles or incense is good for lifting up your spirits or relaxing when you are tense.
How does it work? As air is inhaled through our nose, the aroma of fragrant essential oils stimulates the olfactory nerves. The olfactory receptors transport a signal directly to the part of the brain that is connected with the instinct, mood and emotion. Hence, this therapy is used to lift depression, help soothe irritability or provide a person a relaxing state of mind and body.
This is why the combination of massage and aromatherapy works great because you receive both the therapeutic properties of the fragrance of essential oils and the wonderful benefits of the massage for the body.
So why wait...after a hard day at work, get yourself a good scented candle, take a warm bath and enjoy relaxing moments in the comfort of your own home or you can just burn several candles and enjoy the fragrance and beautiful serenity they provide!
