Aromatherapy is an ancient technique<\/em><\/strong> that uses these essential oils for therapeutic purposes. It is a natural treatment that uses the vital essences of plants or flowers for healing purposes.\u00a0This vital essence of plants is called essential oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each sense has a direct channel to the brain; therefore, the stimulation of each sense affects physiology. For example, stimulation of the sense of smell through aromas directly impacts emotions and the mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayurveda has used this ability by using aromas chosen for their balancing effects for thousands of years. But they are always taking into account the constitution of the person.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what distinguishes Ayurvedic aromas<\/em><\/strong> is the unique way of mixing different aromatic oils. But, then, the use of the correct combination of the other oils not only produces effects but also balances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aromatherapy And Ayurveda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Essential oils<\/em><\/strong> are precious substances found in different plant tissues. Aromatherapy is an ancient technique that uses these essential oils for therapeutic purposes, both physically and emotionally. So, these oils transmit natural properties through applications and treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each essential oil contains the specific properties of the plant from which it is obtained. For example, essential oils like rosemary<\/em><\/strong> can stimulate the nervous system; others are antibacterial, like thyme, or with analgesic capabilities, like peppermint.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doshas And Aromatherapy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Ayurvedic texts, the human body and mind are influenced by five basic senses: air, fire, water, earth, and ether or space.<\/em><\/strong> So, when two of these elements are combined, the “doshas,\u201d or higher operative principles, are formed (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

VATA (Ether And Air)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It controls movement, breathing, blood circulation, digestion, and the central nervous system. The balanced Vata state is imaginative, sensitive, spontaneous, cheerful, and adaptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An imbalance in Vata can lead to nervous tension, mood swings, scattered thoughts, insomnia, sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, it can suffer from premenstrual syndrome, inattention, loss of concentration, muscle pain, noise hypersensitivity, constipation, impatience, poor stamina,\u00a0Hypertension<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, and intolerance to cold weather and wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the physical level, we will notice it in the large intestine, bones, and joints, in the state of the skin that will tend to dry and, in some cases, be rough.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excess air extinguishes the combustion that makes the body. Therefore, as we get older, it will be more noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
