Aromatherapy: How scents affect the body and mind

The Power of Scents: Aromatherapy for Body and Mind.

Aromatherapy, or essential oil therapy, is an ancient method that uses the power of scent to promote physical and mental well-being. Essential oils derived from plants have various properties that can affect our mood, energy, and health. Discover how aromatherapy works and how you can incorporate it into your daily life.

1. How does aromatherapy work?

Essential oils act on our nervous system through our olfactory receptors. The scents quickly reach the limbic system of the brain, which is associated with emotions, memory, and behavior. As a result, aromatherapy can affect our mood, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.

2. The effect of scents on the body and mind

• Lavender: Calms, promotes relaxation and better sleep.

• Citrus fruits (e.g. orange, lemon): They provide energy, improve mood and promote concentration.

• Peppermint: Refreshes, relieves fatigue and improves breathing.

• Eucalyptus: Helps with colds and relaxes the respiratory tract.

3. How to incorporate aromatherapy into everyday life?

• Use an aroma diffuser to scent the room.

• Add a few drops of essential oil to your bath for relaxation.

• Make your own massage oil by mixing an essential oil with a carrier oil, such as almond or coconut.

• Use essential oils during meditation or yoga for a deeper connection with the mind.
