7 Ways Aromatherapy can Reduce Your Stress
5. Chamomile aromatherapy
Little daisy-like flowers, chamomile is a herb known for its healing properties. The aroma from these tiny flowers, relieves depression and stress. Chamomile aromatherapy enhances relaxation and brightens your mood. Beds of chamomile were planted by the medieval monks so that people could lie on them, absorb the smell and get rid of all their sorrows. Even walking barefoot on chamomile flowers, releases their remedial scent healing you from within.
6. Holistic aromatherapy
Holistic aromatherapy is a kind of massage with a combination of different essential oils. The masseuse’s deft hands rub these oils gently into your body, facilitating better absorption of these oils. This massage relaxes your taut and tensed muscles and chases away all your fatigue – mental as well as physical.
7. Esthetic aromatherapy
A luxurious bathing experience with natural essential oils is what esthetic aromatherapy is all about! Add these oils in burners, diffusers or simply in your bathtub and feel your tensions melt away. Since ages this therapy has been used as a stress reliever. Today, there are complementary additives like bath salts, bath beads and shower gels which make your body feel lighter and stress-free. A potent combination of essential oils is all you need to soothe your tired nerves.
Apart from these remedies, a combination of essential oils of lavender, bergamot, marjoram, sandalwood, ylang ylang, chamomile and neroli also serves as a great stress buster. Their relaxing fragrances lull you into a state of extreme peace and tranquility. Slow, deep, even breathing in of these scents gradually permeates your body, alleviating all your tensions and anxieties.
