Aromatherapy is a powerful wellness practice that checks all the boxes - 100% natural ingredients, eco-friendly, and actually backed by science. Curious how it works? Here's a quick little run down of how it all works.
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are the essence of plants. They’re made by steaming or pressing parts of a plant (like flowers, bark, leaves, or fruit) to capture those incredible, fragrant compounds. Basically, it’s nature’s way of bottling up some seriously good vibes.
What Is Aromatherapy?
In simple terms, aromatherapy is all about using essential oils and plant extracts to bring balance to your life - emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and even physically. It’s about creating balance and tapping into the healing power of nature.
How Does It Work?
Here’s the fun part. When you breathe in the scent of an essential oil, your olfactory nerves in your nose send that aroma straight to the limbic system. This is the place where all the magic happens - it’s the HQ for your emotions, memories, and behaviours.
Depending on the oil, you might start feeling calmer, more energised, or even a little more…romantic. Some scents can help release tension, clear away negative vibes, or relax tight muscles. Oh, and let’s not forget the mood-boosting chemicals like serotonin and endorphins that can kick in.
Why We Love Aromatherapy Candles
Aromatherapy candles are the ultimate two-for-one. Not only do they smell absolutely amazing, but they also make you feel fantastic. Light one up, and suddenly your space is filled with cosy, relaxing, feel-good energy.
At the end of the day, aromatherapy is all about slowing down, breathing deeply, and letting nature do its thing. Once you start using natural fragrances, you just can’t get enough!
