Better Sleep, Less Stress, More Energy!

The Truth About Aromatherapy

 

There are tons of over-the counter supplements and skincare products promising all kinds of benefits they say will help your mind, skin, and body. But here’s the problem: many of these products don’t help you at all. In fact, some of the best work you can do for your bodily health is with your nose.

That’s right. And there's a word for this, and you've probably heard of it - aromatherapy, and it really is actually pretty simple: aromatherapy uses the simple extract of plants to help improve your health in tons of different ways. (1)

However, to practice aromatherapy properly, you need essential oils. Essential oils can be hard to find in their natural form, especially in over-the-counter skincare products that do more harm than good.

Thankfully, there are NATURAL ALTERNATIVES you can enjoy right now – truly natural essential oils that can help your emotional and physical health.

In this blog we talk about what aromatherapy is, and how you can enjoy better BETTER HEALTH and a CLEARER MIND today!

 

 

WHAT IS AROMATHERAPY?

 

 

The first thing to know about aromatherapy is that it’s been done and embraced for a really long time. In fact, the amazing benefits of aromatherapy – including those for your physical and emotional health – are centuries old. This is associated with the long-held belief in the benefits of essential oils – which has also been around for hundreds of years.

As we just mentioned, aromatherapy and essential oils go hand in hand. Plants are processed or steamed – enabling the essential oils used to create certain fragrances – fragrances that can impact the emotion hub of your brain – known as your amygdala. (2)

 

Though there are many ways to enjoy and practice aromatherapy, one of the major ones is through the actually inhaling of essential oils deemed healthy and productive for your specific use. This is why, in many ways, it is actually called aromatherapy; you have the opportunity to literally allow your breath to be a carrier of your own health. (3)

 

QUICK TIP: Want to smell your way to better health? Simply check out NATURAL ESSENTIAL OILS, a great way to not only improve your health, but to also specifically address some health problems you may already have. Smell your way to calm and relaxation with natural oils in exclusively natural products your body wants. (4)

 

If it sounds ridiculous to think that simply smelling essential oils can improve your health, think again. This is because there's a whole lot of plant needed to create them. It’s also important to note that the most effective essential oils are 100% ESSENTIAL OILS when not combined with artificial ingredients and other chemicals usually found in over-the-counter skincare products.

Though many different essential oils can be used to improve your health with aromatherapy, some of the most common essential oils used are lavender and bergamot, both of which can be found in many NATURAL SKINCARE PRODUCTS at GARNER’S GARDEN. (5) (6)

Lavender in particular can help you not only relax and feel calm when you really need to, but it also helps diminish fear or anxiety you may feel. Lemongrass is another essential oil that can not only improve your energy, but also help you sleep and feel relaxed. (7)

 

 

THE DYNAMICS OF AROMATICS!

 

 

Although skeptics have chalked aromatherapy up to being a fad, there is actually some science to it. This is because aromatherapy works to create different reactions in your body and mind. Similar benefits can be enjoyed when massaging essential oils into your body.

You should be careful when handling essential oils on your own, though, as they should not be ingested, and can be dangerous when not properly handled and used. When used properly, though, some other essential oils in GARNER’S GARDEN NATURAL PRODUCTS that can improve your health include tea tree and peppermint, both of which offer many benefits to help improve your spirits and physical health. (8)

 

Many people who have trouble sleeping also use aromatherapy to help improve their health. Though specific tests on those with insomnia aren't complete, it’s important to note people do use it for this purpose. Others have also used aromatherapy and massaging to help them with pain and even cancer, though studies for these and other uses are still ongoing. (9)

 

QUICK TIP: Essential oils are named as such because they are essentially the pure smell of the plant. Enjoy the essential elements of your favorite plants today - but make sure they're not diluted with chemicals first. (10)

 

Aromatherapy can also be planned throughout your day, depending on when you need the benefits of your favorite essential oil most. In fact, knowing you suffer from the mid-day blues might mean opting for a relaxing and refreshing aromatherapy session during the afternoon, or possibly in the morning if you need a little more than coffee to wake up!

Aromatherapy also helps your work. For example, using the right aromatherapy and essential oils can actually improve the quality and efficiency of your work, all the while helping you to maintain necessary focus and attentiveness on your activities and tasks. (11) (12)

And aside from these obvious benefits, you may also see certain benefits to your annoying seasonal symptoms as a result of essential oils, including aid in congestion and respiratory problems. (13)
