Aromatherapy is the therapeutic application of plant-derived essential oils to enhance physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. The foundation of aromatherapy’s origins is rooted in the use of whole plants for holistic purposes.
Aromatherapy has been used by mankind for thousands of years. Aromatic plant ingredients were used by ancient cultures in China, India, Egypt, and other places to produce oils, balms, and resins. These organic materials were employed in medicine and religion.
Properties of Essential Oils
Essential oils are aromatic extracts obtained through distillation or expression from a diverse range of plants. Compared to fresh plant material, essential oils have a concentration that is about 200 times higher. Up to 200+ chemical components can be found in one essential oil and every single one functions in synergy. Essential oils have a high volatility, flammability, and non-greasy consistency. In fats and oils, essential oils dissolve easily, but not in water.
Carrier Oils
Essential oils are transported by carrier oils, which are natural base oils that dilute the oils before applying them topically. These can be chosen to match the client’s skin type and condition. Whenever possible, carrier oils should be cold-pressed to preserve their original qualities.
Sweet Almond Oil, Argan Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil (Semi-solid or Fractionated), Grapeseed oil, Hazelnut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Olive Oil, etc.
Methods of Absorption
- Topical Application to Skin –Essential oils enter the bloodstream through skin penetration. Their absorption typically takes from 20 minutes to 2 hours. For that reason, it is best to advise you not to shower immediately after your treatment.
- Inhalation – Essential oils can reach the brain straight through the nose. Inhalation permits a maximum absorption of 70% as opposed to absorption through the skin (personal inhaler, facial steamer, nebulizer, Aroma lamp, electric diffuser, etc.).
- Ingestion or Internal – Currently, associations for Aromatherapy, such as the CFA, CAOA, and NAHA, do not support ingesting or internally using essential oils. Only those with the appropriate education, such as doctors or medical herbalists, should advise taking essential oils orally.
Methods of Application
Aroma Patch, Baths, Compresses, Diffusers, Foot baths, Lip Balm, Poultices, Saunas, Scalp and hair Treatments, Steam Inhalation, Topical, Roller Balls, etc.
