This blog explores the Natriel Aroma collection, which you can add to your daily routine for performing aromatherapy at home.

What is Aroma Therapy and how does it work?

Aromatherapy involves using essential oils to support overall health and well-being. Essential oils are natural plant extracts that help improve physical and emotional health. You can use it primarily through inhalation by diffusers or topical applications. It is a holistic practice which nurtures the mind, body, and spirit through the power of natural scents. When we inhale these scents, it stimulates the olfactory system, which is directly connected to the amygdala (emotional centre) of the brain. That is why there are certain scents which calm your mind, reduce stress, or improve sleep. Aromatherapy nurtures mind, body, and spirit and transforms your surroundings into a balanced and restorative space.

Essential oils and how do they work?

Essential oils are natural extracts that are derived from plants, herbs, and roots. They are highly concentrated, as few drops carry a powerful aroma which captures the true essence of the plant. Essential oils can be topically applied while diluting with a carrier oil that helps with physical comfort and relaxation. Common essential oils used for aroma therapy are Lavender, peppermint, tea tree or eucalyptus. It may help people with anxiety, insomnia and menstrual cramps, while promoting relaxation and improving mood in daily life.
