Aromatherapy, what it is and its effects on people

Aromas and smells have a direct impact on our natural sense of smell. Smell receptors carry scents directly to the limbic system of our brain, which is connected to mood, instinct and emotions.

Smells alert us and also connect us to moments in our past, making us relive moments and emotions.

Aromatherapy is a technique or therapy that involves the use of essential oils that can be obtained from flowers, plants, bark or herbs and are used to improve both the physical state and the emotional well-being of people.

Each essential oil has its own properties such as analgesic, antibiotic, regenerative, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, sedative, calming, etc. They can be mixed together to achieve greater efficiency and can be applied olfactorily, ingested by applying a few drops to the palate or cutaneously.

For example:

• Lemon essential oil: energy booster in the environment. Promotes activity. Facilitates breathing.
• Orange essential oil: Energizing, calming, relaxing. Stimulates the body's defenses. Can be used as a mosquito repellent.
• Mandarin essential oil: Calming and relaxing.
• Eucalyptus essential oil: facilitates breathing and stimulates the body's defenses. Good mosquito repellent.
• Atlas Cedarwood Essential Oil: Calming and relaxing.
• Ravintsara essential oil: for relaxation and sleep.
