What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is defined as the use of essential oils from plants to achieve therapeutic benefits. Over the past several years, aromatherapy has been gaining in popularity due to its well-documented results and ease of accessibility. 

What are essential oils? They’re extracts from plants made by pressing different parts of the plant to capture the compounds that produce fragrance. It’s a centuries-old, tried and true technique. 

How Does Aromatherapy Work?

Inhaling the scent molecules directly and positively impacts the amygdala, the area of the brain responsible for emotions. It also has positive physical effects on the body. For example, applying a specific essential oil on sore muscles can help to relieve tension. 

People turn to aromatherapy for a variety of ailments, including stress, headaches, anxiety, depression, fatigue, even nausea and insomnia. The list is quite extensive!

Today we’re going to discuss how aromatherapy can be used at home for its health benefits and more.

Different Ailments, Different Oils

Did you know that stress is one of the major causes of sickness? It lowers our immune system, allowing viruses and bacteria to wreak havoc on our health. Stress also raises blood pressure, and we all know what that can lead to. Therefore, lowering stress levels is essential to accomplishing and maintaining good health.

Calm Essential Oil

Calm is our essential oil created specifically for stress relief. It’s a delicious-smelling combination of lavender, chamomile, bergamot, rosemary, and sandalwood. Lavender and chamomile contain well-known calming properties, and the addition of bergamot and rosemary adds a citrusy, fresh scent that complements the heavier scents of lavender and sandalwood. We’ve also added tonka beans, a very special and unique ingredient. Tonka beans have a caramel-like, warm and sweet undertone and are extremely calming in their own right. 

Put a few drops of Calm in your wireless L’Etoile diffuser when you get home from a stressful day at work, and feel that stress just melt away as you relax on the couch. 

Energy Essential Oil 

Looking for a quick pick-me-up? Try Energy, a bright and citrusy essential oil. Composed of grapefruit, mint, eucalyptus, rosemary, and sea salt, this fragrant oil is sure to lift your spirits and energize you. Place a few drops of Energy in your Conception de Luxe Mini diffuser for a noticeable boost in your day. 

If you suffer from energy lows at work, our Le Bonaparte portable diffuser is perfect for your desktop. Made for scenting smaller spaces, Le Bonaparte will be your favorite work companion!
