Exploring the Science Behind Aromatherapy: How Essential Oils Work

  • by

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses the natural extracts of plants, known as essential oils, to promote physical and emotional well-being. The science behind aromatherapy lies in how these oils interact with the body’s limbic system, which controls emotions, memories, and arousal. When inhaled or applied topically, essential oils stimulate the olfactory receptors, sending signals to the brain that can influence mood, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. Different oils offer specific benefits: lavender is known for its calming properties, while peppermint can help invigorate the senses and increase focus. The healing effects of aromatherapy are supported by research showing that it can reduce symptoms of anxiety, enhance sleep quality, and improve mental clarity. At Aurora Healing Spa, we harness the power of essential oils to create personalized treatments that promote balance, relaxation, and overall wellness, providing a natural way to enhance your spa experience and improve your quality of life.
