ConceptAbout
Aromatherapy is a holistic practice that utilizes essential oils derived from plants to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It involves the use of these oils through inhalation or topical application to influence mood, alleviate symptoms of various health conditions, and enhance overall health. Essential oils like lavender and chamomile are commonly used for their calming effects, helping to reduce anxiety and stress. Aromatherapy can be applied in various settings, from home use to clinical environments, supporting conventional treatments for conditions such as pain, nausea, and insomnia. While it is not a replacement for medical treatment, aromatherapy can complement traditional therapies by providing relief and promoting relaxation. However, it is crucial to use essential oils safely, as they can cause adverse reactions if not properly diluted or used without caution.
