Aromatherapy is the art of using essential plant oils to influence the mind, body, or spirit of the person receiving it. Aromatherapy has been used since ancient times, but research into the field began in earnest in the 1920’s when a French chemist accidentally discovered the healing properties of lavender after he burned his arm in the lab and doused it in a cold vat of lavender solution and found his arm quickly healed. That is perhaps the most well known example of aromatherapy skin care.
Since that time, the popularity of aromatherapy has spread around the world and it enjoys popularity as an alternative medicine to treat ailments and emotional conditions as well as to support and beautify the skin.
To meet this growing demand for aromatherapy skin care, many products have been brought to the market by various manufacturers. It is also possible for you to obtain the essential oils and create your own custom aromatherapy skin care treatments. When making your own concoctions, it is important to study the essential oil you plan to use, and understand its properties and side effects. You should always follow the recommended dosage, as more is not necessarily better, as an aromatherapy skin care solution that is too powerful can actually burn or irritate the skin, especially delicate skin on the face.
With the easy availability of pre-made products, there is really no need to worry with making your own. You can find aromatherapy skin care products at your health food store or at several places online. As an example, below you will find three such sites listed:
