Aromatherapy Used In Treatments of Medical Conditions

Aromatherapy Used In Treatments of Medical Conditions

Aromatherapy is an ancient practice of using certain aromatic fragrances to stimulate nerves within the nose.  Those nerves reach the necessary part of the brain that controls certain functions.

The science of aromatherapy is the use of scented oils that come from varying parts of flowers, plants, and in some cases – bark!  Each scent that’s used in aromatherapy has an underlying purpose.

Different scents treat different types of conditions within our bodies.  Medical conditions aren’t immune from it.  Aromatherapy isn’t a replacement for medical treatments but is used to enhance and to work alongside them to help treat your ailments.

One condition that can be benefited from aromatherapy is certain types of allergies.  The scent of choice for this condition is the Blue Tansy.  It’s thought to have a powerful effect on the nervous system, which aids in the bronchial dilating process.

The Blue Tansy is also known to aid in pain management, because of the effect it has on the nervous system.  It helps release nervous tension and stress, which can relax the body to a state of calmness.

Eucalyptus and pine scents are good for treating fatigue.  They work by minimizing drowsiness and irritability, which can cause tiredness and lethargy.  You’ll be able to think clearly and stay alert throughout the day.

Lemongrass and sage scents, which are also good for fatigue, are known to help some people with headaches.  These scents calm the nervous system and relax your inner being, which will minimize the headache that won’t allow you to function.

Can you believe aromatherapy can even help you with acne issues?  Cedarwood, lemon, and sandalwood are effective scents that help to promote the body’s ability to control its hormonal balance as well as the oil production within the skin. They can also help relieve stress, which can cause outbreaks.

Aromatherapy is an excellent solution for those who are looking for alternative treatments to use in minor medical treatments. Aromatherapy could be used in candle form and in liquid oil form – just find which method works best for your personal preferences and keep a note of which scents benefit you most.
