Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy or phytotherapy uses different plant-based essential oils that are carried into the body through the respiratory tract and skin. The scent of essential oils affects the limbic system of the brain through the sense smell. This way, the essential oils affect both the mood and emotions.
Aromatherapy aims to:
- relax or activate bodily functions
- heat or cool
- relieve pain
- reduce cramping
- reduce water retention
- decrease inflammation
- activate circulation
- balance immunity and hormones
