AROMA THERAPY
Aroma Therapy is a holistic healing practice that involves the use of essential oils derived from various plants to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. These essential oils are extracted from flowers, leaves, roots, and other parts of plants and are used for their therapeutic properties. Aroma Therapy has been used for thousands of years in various cultures around the world, and it is believed to have healing benefits for a wide range of conditions.
ASPECTS/IMPORTANCE OF AROMA THERAPY
Aroma Therapy has several aspects that make it a popular form of natural healing:
Inhalation: Essential oils can be inhaled directly from the bottle, diffused in the air, or added to a bowl of hot water for steam inhalation. This helps to stimulate the olfactory system, which is responsible for our sense of smell and can have a positive effect on our emotions and overall well-being.
Topical application: Essential oils can be applied topically to the skin in a carrier oil such as coconut or jojoba oil. The oils are absorbed into the skin and can have a therapeutic effect on the body.
Massage: Aroma Therapy massage involves the use of essential oils combined with massage techniques to help relieve stress and tension in the body. The oils are absorbed through the skin and can have a calming and relaxing effect on the mind and body.

AROMA THERAPY WITH REIKI
Combining Aroma Therapy with Reiki can be a powerful way to promote healing and well-being. During a Reiki session, essential oils can be diffused in the air or applied topically to the skin to enhance the energy-healing properties of Reiki. The combination of Aroma Therapy and Reiki can help to balance the body’s energy centers, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being.
In an Aroma Therapy session, the therapist will assess the individual’s needs and choose essential oils that are appropriate for their specific condition. The oils are then used appropriately, depending on the desired outcome. The therapist may use a combination of inhalation, topical application, and massage to promote healing and well-being.
