I'm a certified Respiratory Therapist who teaches Aromatherapy as self-management for short and long-term respiratory conditions. Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine which uses essential oils for natural healing and supporting the health of the respiratory system. During aromatherapy, essential oils are inhaled for the physical an psychological benefits that occur as the essential oil molecules stimulate the brain. When applied topically, the essential oils absorb through the skin and into the bloodstream. Aromatherapy is a noninvasive treatment that is used alongside other respiratory therapies to treat the whole body rather than focusing only on the symptoms and illness. Respiratory benefits of essential oils: -All essential oils are adaptogens: balancing reaction within the body. -Many essential oils are analgesics: subdue pain. -Many essential oils are anti-inflammatory. -Some essential oils are antiseptic. -Some essential oils promote relaxation and relieves stress.
