Aromatherapy is a complementary therapy that uses essential oils extracted from plants to promote relaxation and support physical and emotional well-being. The oils may be inhaled, diffused into the air, or diluted and applied to the skin during massage.
Common essential oils include:
Lavender – Traditionally used for relaxation and better sleep.
Peppermint – Often used to help relieve headaches and improve alertness.
Eucalyptus – Commonly used to support relief of nasal congestion.
Tea Tree – Known for its antimicrobial properties in topical products.
Lemon – Often associated with improved mood and freshness.
Aromatherapy may help some people feel more relaxed or reduce stress, but scientific evidence for its effectiveness varies depending on the condition. Essential oils should be used safely, as some can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, or be harmful if swallowed. Aromatherapy should be considered a complementary therapy and not a substitute for evidence-based medical treatment.
