How does Aromatherapy work?

Aromatherapy works through inhalation or skin absorption, or a combination of both. For inhalation, the essential oils are evaporated into the air using a diffuser or a spray bottle, or added to a steam bath. Apart from the aromatic smell, the oils can provide other benefits such as disinfection, nasal decongestant, and positive psychological effects.

For skin absorption, the essential oils are never used directly on the skin. They are diluted with a carrier. Then, it is used as massage oils, or as bath and skin care products. Massaging with essential oils can improve circulation and increase absorption. It's important to perform a skin patch test first before trying a new essential oil to prevent potential allergic reactions.
