Aromatherapy is a specialized medicine system, which uses natural essences extracted from plants, flowers, leafs, seeds, barks and fruits to balance and harmonize the body at all levels – physical, emotional and spiritual. How do aromatherapy essential oils work? The idea of aromatherapy is based on the positive response of our bodies when exposed to some kinds of smells, or when treated with aromatherapy essential oils. When the body is massaged with specially prepared aromatherapy essential oils, our breath takes about 15% of the air to the roof of the nose, where our receptors transport odors straight to the brain. This process stimulates the release of beneficial chemicals within the body responsible for healing any bodily imbalance. Additionally, when directly absorbed into the bloodstream, these essential oils improve our overall health, beauty and hygiene.
