Aromatherapy for Beginners: History, Tips, & More. Wellness enthusiasts can learn about the power of essential oils at home with Velas Resorts’ new aromatherapy guide for beginners.
Along with highlighting the history of essential oils, the award-winning Mexican resort collection shares how travelers can create their very own aromatherapy kit.
Created in the 20th century by French chemist Ren�-Maurice Gattefoss�, natural essential oils are made from fragrances extracted from plants, seeds or fruit. Highly aromatic in nature, essential oils can help improve energy, aid digestion, strengthen the immune system, reduce stress and anxiety, and much more.
Traditionally, essential oils are best inhaled or applied on the skin to receive their benefits.
As part of Velas Resorts’ Aromatherapy Guide for Beginners, found on Velas Magazine, highlighted below are five popular essential oils and their benefits.
Lavender: Recognized as a natural painkiller, lavender helps combat insomnia and reduces stress and tensions. Sprinkle a few droplets of the oil on a pillow or added to a diffuser to encourage relaxation before sleep. Perhaps once you’re acquainted with the various essential oils, their properties, and benefits, then you may perhaps want to research and try using other alternatives to essential oils. An example of one of these alternatives can be found if you were to look into the mother of all terpenes, Myrcene. Terpenes are found within many plants, and it’s believed that the magnitude of different terpene profiles known today is actually one of the major reasons plants, their aromas, and some essential oils provide us with so many health benefits. Bearing this in mind, it might very well be worthwhile to experiment with the different terpenes you could find available to you.
Rosemary: Known to help relieve muscular and rheumatic pain. The oil is great for massages as it helps activate the digestive system to remove toxins and increases blood circulation.
Chamomile: Boasting calming, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties, chamomile can help irritated skin and stomach aches. Additionally, its sweet aroma can enhance sleep and relax muscles.
Orange: Fresh and aromatic, orange helps stimulate and enhance the mind and memory capabilities. Use it in the morning to start the day feeling energetic and refreshed.
