Introduction

How do you feel when you enter a garden full of blooming flowers or smell a fresh rose? The instant feeling of happiness and freshness you experience upon inhaling the fresh smell of a rose is what is aromatherapy! Aromatherapy helps the whole body recover from stress and even illness.

Aromatherapy works wonders for stress relief and calming our nerves whenever we feel built-up tension, have a headache, or are feeling anxious. Even a good aromatherapy massage can ease our mind and help us relax.

Overview of Aromatherapy 

Aromatherapy uses essential oils to promote well-being and relaxation. It has been used for centuries for religious, cosmetic, and therapeutic purposes. Different essential oils can be used for various uses, such as eucalyptus essential oil to help with a headache or tea tree essential oil for the skin.

You can inhale essential oils or apply them to your skin for absorption. When you inhale any essential oil, the fragrance quickly reaches your brain and affects the amygdala, which controls your emotions. So, our mood starts improving, and we feel calmer.

Our skin also absorbs essential oils. There are some great skincare benefits of essential oils, and though it is an age-old technique to extract essential oils from different plants or trees, it is now promoted as the latest trend in the skincare industry.

Hem Fragrance has a wide range of exquisite therapeutic essential oils, which are handcrafted using the finest natural ingredients. Each oil in the vast collection captures the true essence of nature’s most precious botanicals.

Ways to Incorporate Aromatherapy into Daily Life

Breathing in or Using a Diffuser: This is one of the most convenient ways of using essential oils in your daily life. You can directly open a bottle of any essential oil and take a deep breath or use a diffuser. The diffuser will spread the fragrance in your room. You can choose the oil depending on your needs or mood. If you want to relax, use lavender or chamomile essential oil. You can use fragrances like lemon or vanilla when you want to refresh the room.

Remember, essential oils are highly concentrated, so always use the best quality products and avoid direct contact with your skin.

Refreshing Your Skincare Routine: Essential oils for the skin work really well as they contain antioxidants and antimicrobial properties, and there are many benefits to applying essential oils on the skin. You should select an oil that will help you with your specific skin problem and then include it in your skincare routine. If you have oily skin, try using lavender or rosemary oil. If you want to treat acne, tea tree oil will be beneficial. Again, it is important to dilute the oil before applying it to your skin, and always do a patch test before applying it on your face or skin.

Enjoyable Bath Time: Tired after a long day at work? Put a few drops of your favourite essential oil in your bath water and let it work its magic. This aromatherapy

will make you feel extremely relaxed and refreshed, and your skin will also feel rejuvenated. Try it tonight—you deserve it!

Freshen Up Your Fridge: A great fix to keep your fridge smelling great always- in a bowl, take a little baking soda, add 15-20 drops of lemon essential oil, and keep it in your fridge. It will make your fridge smell fresh for upto a month.

Relaxing Massage: An aromatherapy massage is the ultimate way to reward your body and ease your mind and body. Use jojoba or coconut oil to massage your body.

Get Rid of Food Smells: Does your kitchen smell bad or have a lingering smell of leftover food? Try this hack. Put water in a pot and bring it to a boil, then add a few drops of lemon or any citrus essential oil. Let the water simmer for some time, and you will have a very nice-smelling kitchen.

Nice Homemade Cleaners: Many essential oils, such as tea tree oil, lemongrass, peppermint, etc., have antibacterial properties. You can make your own cleaners by mixing vinegar, water, and a few drops of any of the essential oils in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on any surface and wipe it clean with a cloth.

Remove Odours from Shoes: Essential oils like peppermint or eucalyptus can help to get rid of foul smells from our shoes. You can put a few drops of any oil on a cotton ball and put it in your shoes or make a diluted mixture and spray it on your footwear. Do it regularly to always have nice-smelling shoes and feet!

Improve Your Meditation or Yoga Practice: Using an essential oil diffuser while practising yoga or meditation will improve your practice and make it a very soothing experience. This aromatherapy will create a serene and relaxing ambience and calm all senses.

Aromatherapy Items: Aromatherapy bracelets are also available. These bracelets are made with volcanic lava rocks, which can easily absorb essential oils. You can apply a few drops of your favourite essential oil to the lava rock and let it absorb the oil. You will have to reapply the oil every two or three days.

Unique Uses for Specific Essential Oils
Rose Oil for Confidence and Anxiety Relief: Aroma therapists suggest using rose oil to boost confidence and reduce anxiety. Rose oil acts as a tonic for our nerves and is helpful in such situations. Try it the next time you are feeling very anxious or have a big meeting or interview (or a cute date!) coming up. Inhale it or apply a few drops to your pulse points.
Bergamot for Emotional Upliftment: Bergamot has a nice, sensuous, citrusy smell and anti-stress properties. If you are feeling emotional or having a bad day, this oil can help brighten your mood and make you feel happy.  

Lavender for Seasonal Allergies Relief: How many of you start sneezing as soon as the weather changes? Lavender oil has natural anti-allergic properties, and it can also reduce inflammation in your nose and sinuses. It can also soothe itching eyes or skin.

Camphor for Energy Boost While Cleaning: Camphor has antiseptic properties and can give you a nice boost if you are tired. Its mild stimulating effect can give you a good kick of energy and make you feel refreshed.
