Aromatherapy aims to create a balance between mind, body, and soul through fragrant oils obtained from different parts of plants – bark, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, stems, or roots – using various methods.
Of the five senses, the only one that can stimulate the subconscious is smell, and its mediator is aromatherapy essential oils (make sure they are 100% pure to work properly).
We all know how difficult and time-consuming the process of stimulating and cleansing the subconscious is, but fragrances can influence the limbic system directly, without going through the complex system of the brain, restoring balance without us being aware of it – a true miracle of nature. We use this valuable information to restore balance to the chakras.
There are various essential oils that help balance the seven energy centers of our body (chakras), stimulating the body, mind and subconscious. These oils can be mixed with a carrier oil and applied by massage to the chakra area, used as a perfume, inhaled without direct contact with the body, placed on the pillow or used in a water diffuser.
