Aromatherapy

If you are planning to get an Aroma Therapy, there are three methods to choose from. The most popular one is the Aromatherapy Massage. It uses different Essential Oils to massage the body which in turn relaxes the muscles and gives a light feeling. This process may take an hour or so and needs assistance from someone.
Another effective way is using the Aromatherapy Diffuser. This diffuser creates a light misty vapor which floats in the air and is absorbed by the body through lungs. One can use an oil diffuser, electric diffuser or a candle diffuser for the process. An oil diffuser may require either heating or cooling for diffusion. It is best to go for cooling as it ensures that the elements of the oil are not destroyed in the process. Scented candles are also a pleasing way to sooth the senses with a pleasing aroma. Candles with different aromas are available. Choose one of your choice for a relaxed environment. One can also go for an electric diffuser for Aromatherapy.
A hot bath infused with aromatic oils is great for reducing stress. The Japanese culture suggests that one should first take a quick shower before the hot water bath. The essential oils are added to the hot water for a calm and relaxed feeling. This process ensures that a person gets the full benefits of the oils used.
Aromatherapy Oils are available in different fragrances to choose from. Scents like lavender and sandalwood are said to work well in relaxing and calming an agitated mind. It is widely use and can also be used to sooth nervous disorders, depression, skin problems, etc. The scent of Clary Sage has a warm smell that is said to sooth muscular aches and pains, asthma, and throat infection. Similarly, Eucalyptus is said to sooth rheumatoid arthritis, cold, flu and skin conditions like acne, bruises, etc.
The market is flooded with a number of Essential Oils for Aromatherapy but not all are made for therapeutic purposes. With a number of oils made purely for the purpose of giving an aroma, it is necessary to be careful before choosing one.
