Aromas and memories have a strange connection. We get pulled down memory lane, whether of food, people, or places, especially in these mundane blinking times.

Aromas have played a vital and significant role in establishing our perpetual necessity to feel connected and relaxed for centuries. Aromas instantly transport us to the world of comfort, don’t they?

The current era is witnessing a conscious surge of interest in a holistic approach to health and well-being. The most common is Aromatherapy, an ancient practice that harnesses the power of essential oils and fragrances to benefit our mental and physical health. Juggling in and out of many responsibilities, we all seek natural methods to alleviate stress and promote overall health. A tiny power nap with lavender essential oil in a burner or a rose petal / Epsom salt bath at the end of the day is sufficient to feel calm and relaxed after a busy day.

What is Aromatherapy?

Before we go any further, let’s take a moment to define what this term implies. As the name suggests, it is essentially therapy using aromas. The science of Aromatherapy has a rich history and is a prominent ancient practice followed across cultures around the world in healing several physical and mental ailments. This therapeutic practice uses extracts from natural resources like plants, flowers, bark, roots, etc.

Lavender is used for relaxation, peppermint for energy, and eucalyptus for respiratory health. These extracts or oils are either inhaled or applied topically harnessing the benefits of complex chemical compounds in natural resources around us. So simple! The scents from these essential oils are effective in calming, energizing, or uplifting moods, and we are ready to face the new day, feeling new from deep within.

How Aromatherapy Works

Aromatherapy works on our olfactory system (sensory system) influencing areas responsible for emotions and memories. So, when we smell something nice, it creates a chain reaction in our body and mind to respond accordingly. The medicinal value of the extracts from natural resources enhances the effectiveness of Aromatherapy. Inhaling essential oils calms the mind and nerves, whereas massaging with infused oils on the skin soothes aches, improves blood circulation, and relaxes physical tensions.

Coral and Sky offers plenty of options like handcrafted scented candles, shower steamers, and essential oils in fragrances like Rose, Jasmine, Lily, Oudh, and Lavender to energize your senses and provide the relaxation that you seek.

We all want to be happy and cheerful and pleasant smells increase our happiness index. Burning your favorite essential oil or taking a bath using shower steamers is a very tiny effort to unwind.

Benefits of Aromatherapy

With so much to do every day, it is hard to distinguish between personal and professional lives. We get affected in two ways by what happens in our daily lives - physically and mentally.

So how to ensure that the balance is maintained?

Aromatherapy is for all. From a newborn to older adults, everyone loves nurturing. And, the quickest and simplest way is fragrances in the form of essential oils and candles. Let’s read more on how Aromatherapy aids us mentally and physically:

Pollution has taken a toll on us for a long time now. Taking in steam using menthol oils pacifies allergies quickly, allowing a clear nasal passage and improved breathing.

Physical Health Benefits of Aromatherapy

Long working hours or constant work travel exhausts us physically, resulting in headaches, muscle tension, or joint pains. Sometimes, health issues cause the body to have inflammation. When unanswered pains become chronic, Aromatherapy can help soothe such concerns:

Aromatherapy helps greatly in pain management. Eucalyptus oils are often used for pain relief. Massage therapy along with aromatherapy can be particularly effective in reducing pain and muscle tension.
A stronger immune system is the foundation of a healthy body. Some oils like tea tree oil possess antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Using these can strengthen the immune system, balance hormones, and protect against infections.
Many skin and hair disorders can be treated using oils. For instance, tea trees can help treat acne, while lavender oil is helpful for skin irritations. Rosemary-infused oils help in hair growth. A gentle massage on the scalp sheds all mental and physical discomforts.

How to Use Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is so simple that it can feel like child’s play! That said, it’s best to consult and take guided professional advice on which oil to use. Steam inhalers are a common and popular way to use oil extracts. Spas are a great way to get the much-desired massage using aroma oils and feel rejuvenated.
