Types of Aromatherapy
The benefits of
essential oils are introduced through cosmetic,
massage and olfactory aromatherapy. The three types of
aromatherapy benefits can be experienced in a variety of ways.
Cosmetic
Aromatherapy
Cosmetic aromatherapy
uses essential oils in facial, skin, body and hair care products. Essential oils can be
toning, cleansing, drying or moisturizing. Certain oils are appropriate for various skin
and hair types. An aromatherapy facial demonstrates the versatility of essential oils in
promoting healthy skin. A full-body or foot bath is a simple way to experience cosmetic
aromatherapy on a personal level.  A
few drops of the appropriate oil in a warm bath will create a rejuvenating, revitalizing
experience.
Massage
Aromatherapy
Essential oils
supplement the healing touch of massage therapy with wonderful aromas. Add a few drops of
oil to one ounce of pure vegetable carrier oil, such as almond, grapeseed or jojoba, and
apply liberally during mass age.
Olfactory
Aromatherapy
The benefits
of olfactory aromatherapy are experienced when essential oils are inhaled. Direct
inhalation or diffusion will enhance emotional wellness, calm, relax or rejuvenate.
Pleasurable scents unlock odor memories, trigger our emotions and release stress.
Essential oils bring the body back into harmony with itself by encouraging the natural
forces within to realign. It is a complement to, not a replacement for, medical treatment.
