Aromatherapy and mental health

Description: Aromatherapy is an alternative and complementary therapy to traditional medicine. As the name suggests, certain aromas can help with healing, relaxation, and the well-being of the mind and body. The treatment uses essential oils extracted from various plants, roots, and leaves, such as lavender, rosemary, andiroba, and many others.

How does our body receive aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is an ancient practice currently recognized by the Brazilian Association of Complementary Medicine (ABMC) as a natural, preventive, and multidimensional therapy (treating the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body).

When in contact with the body, either through skin application or inhalation, the properties of essential oils are absorbed and enter directly into the bloodstream, which then carries the molecules to the limbic system. Once in this system, the oils, each with its properties, facilitate access to emotions, beliefs, and feelings.

When in contact with the most sensitive layer of the being, it is easier for humans to become aware of what was "stored" and gain access to new perspectives regarding the emotional/spiritual spectrum. Additionally, many oils contain antibacterial and antifungal properties, which can be an alternative to pharmaceutical medicines.
