Depending upon the characteristic of oil and the type of ailment to be cured, we can select an aromatherapy product.

The methods used for healing an ailment are also different. The fragrance of these essential oils interacts with the hormones and enzymes of our body and can heal a disorder. This fragrance regains our emotional balance by spreading pleasurable scent in our surroundings. It helps us in recovering the energy level of our body and uplifts our mood. How an essential oil or an aromatherapy product should be used depends upon what type of ailment is to be cured. Mainly two methods are used to cure in ailment. You can inhale the fragrance of the essential oil or it can be used externally. Inhalation therapy involves the method of direct inhalation in which the essential oil is used directly to the area affected and indirect inhalation in which the surrounding is treated with the fragrance. External use of aromatherapy products includes body messaging with essential oils or the aromatherapy bath.

While using an aromatherapy product, ensure that it doesn’t have any negative effect such as irritation, suffocation etc. In case these symptoms are found, you should avoid using that particular type of essential oil. Moreover, in case of direct inhalation the essential oil should not be used if the skin at or around the affected area is broken. It may lead to other complications.
