Holistic Therapy Anxiety Treatment: How To Use Aromatherapy For Anxiety and Stress Management
Aromatherapy is an amazing tool to treat anxiety, restlessness, and stress. The art of aromatherapy has been acknowledged to go back to times of ancient Egypt and ancient Greece. The benefits of aromatherapy are also present in today’s time. Over the years aromatherapy has come to be included in some medical settings as a treatment and recovery method for substance addiction recovery, post surgery recovery, and patient rehabilitation. Aromatherapy is now being integrated into more hospital settings as a treatment to support patient health.
The benefits extend in your personal use at home or while traveling as well. There’s now essential oil based car fresheners and diffusers, essential oil travel blends that can be work as perfume/ cologne. Now you can find aromatherapy necklaces, watches, and bracelets for essential oil diffusing that can be worn as multi functional jewelry. My favorite way to diffuse aromatherapy essential oils is to use a traditional diffuser with essential oils that are meant to target and treat stress and anxiety relief.
What is Aromatherapy?
In the simplest of terms aromatherapy is described as the practice of using scents to alter and or improve mood and emotional wellness. What is important to remember when it comes to aromatherapy it’s very important to utilize therapeutic grade essential oils instead of chemically enhanced fragrance oils. When you utilize essential oils that are clean and free of synthetic fragrance and chemicals you are ensuring your wellness outcomes to be increased and more effective without side effects that may present from synthetic fragrances, which can be harmful. It’s worth noting that essential oils also require attention to detail for use, there is potential to have too much of a good thing if you don’t consider the appropriate amount of aromatherapy. An example would be to use 10 drops of your essential oil with 1 cup of water vs. using 50 drops of essential oil with ½ cup of water. How you measure your aromatherapy treatment is important for your health and mood treatment.
How Does Aromatherapy Work
Aromatherapy is a simple process where you diffuse therapeutic essential oils through a carrier mechanism. I have mentioned aromatherapy necklaces, bracelets, car diffusers, and home and office diffusers. You can also add essential oils to your shower routine or when taking a relaxing bath. There are additional methods for aromatherapy for linen sprays, candles, body lotions, and hair products, even deodorants.
When you apply your aromatherapy ideally you are using a therapeutic ratio for the method you select. From there the essential oil should be within range of your sense of smell for better effect. The essential oil fragrance then activates your smell receptors, which send information to your limbic system. Your limbic system is responsible for mood, emotional awareness, physical and mental emotional reactivity. Within 20 minutes you may find the benefits of the essential oils to increase with noticeable improvement of your mood.
