Aromatherapy oils have been used for many years to treat a whole host of ailments.
In addition, most aromatherapy oils need diluting with a base oil such as sweet almond oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil, or macadamia nut oil.
Aromatherapy benefits & types
Just a few of the benefits of using essential oils can include,
- Relief from inflammation.
- Improved skin and hair health.
- Positive effects on mental health.
- Treating respiratory problems.
But their use is not limited to health. It all depends on what desired effect you are trying to achieve. Coconut can be cooling and moisturising and good ideal for dry skin conditions.
Sesame Oil, on the other hand, is more of a warming oil and ideal for aches and pains.
