Aromatherapy

What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is a complementary healing method based on the use of pure essential oils extracted from various parts of the plant – flowers, leaves, bark, resins, and roots. Each essential oil is a concentrated and biologically active extract, containing volatile molecules with a profound effect on the body and mind's systems. The method relies on the understanding that scent has direct access to the limbic system in the brain – the area responsible for emotions, memory, stress regulation, and autonomic responses. Meaning, unlike other therapies, aromatherapy works simultaneously on both the physiological and emotional-energetic levels. Essential oils are considered an effective tool for promoting relaxation, strengthening the immune system, improving sleep quality, releasing tension, supporting concentration and focus, reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and more. Each oil carries a unique "signature" – a combination of chemical and energetic properties that help balance the body's systems naturally: there are calming and stabilizing oils (like lavender and chamomile), antiseptic and anti-inflammatory oils (like tea tree and eucalyptus), stimulating oils that boost vitality and breathing (like lemon, peppermint, and rosemary), and deep oils working on emotional opening and releasing blockages (like frankincense and myrrh). Aromatherapy treatment can be administered in various ways: massage, room diffusion, direct inhalation, compresses, baths, or diluted application on the skin. The correct choice of oils, dosage, and application method allows for the creation of a personalized treatment that strengthens the body, calms the nervous system, and promotes overall well-being – physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
