Most people are aware essential oils used in aromatherapy are effective for a number of conditions. The oils can be used in burners to invoke and uplift the spirit or to help relax and unwind, ready for a good night's sleep.
Many commercial products suggest they include essential oils but in fact, use chemicals that simply smell like the essential oil. Unfortunately, without the real essential oil, the therapeutic quality of the product, apart from smelling pleasant, doesn't have a health benefit at all! There are many essential oils. Some are dangerous and should not be used on the skin at all, whilst others can improve the condition of the skin. Essential oils can aid relaxation, improve energy levels, help a depleted immune system, help with hormone balancing, as well as help with muscular aches and pains. It is only with training and experience that an aromatherapist can advise you on the most appropriate oils for you. For example, most people know that lavender may help you sleep. Did you know that too many drops on the pillow can actually have the opposite effect? Below is a list of things an aromatherapy treatment can help with but for your personal health requirements,
