What's really Aromatherapy

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word Aromatherapy? Some people think about scents and fragrances. Some even think it's some luxury spa treatment. Well, their not entirely incorrect.

Aromatherapy is the usage of 100% pure oils that are extracted from flowers, leaves, roots or other parts of a plant to help promote psychological and physical well-being.

We've heard it numerous times before that there's an array of significant benefits from practicing the use of aromatherapy.

Did you know that Lavender Essential Oil promotes relaxation and calmness in case of just to mention a few?

Did you you know that Peppermint Essential Oil can keep your home free of Ants but it also promotes blood circulation in the body and is perfect for Hair Growth stimulation??

Feeling woozy and having troubles concentrating? Rosemary, Lemon and Cypress Essential Oils are just a few that are helpful in keeping you focused and alert.

Here's a good one...

Ever heard of Black Pepper Essential Oil? That's right! This spice isn't only used for flavoring your favorite foods but also for aromatherapy. Black Pepper Essential Oil actually promotes bowel movement, healthy digestion and relieves constipation!

So what's the point?

Should you replace all the prescription drugs in your medicine cabinet with Essential Oils? No! Aromatherapy does not replace medicine! Aromatherapy is your effective 100% natural alternative.

It's imperative when purchasing essential oils that they're in their purest form. Do not apply essential oils directly to the skin. Always use a carrier oil such as Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Olive Oil etc as a base, then apply a few drops of your desired essential oil.
