3 Different Schools of Aromatherapy

DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OF AROMATHERAPY?

They differ mostly in the way they advocate to apply essential oils to the body. These 3 different schools are:

ENGLISH:

• Diluted topical application (with a large amount of vegetable oil)
• Massage
• Relax
• Relieving stress

FRENCH

• Pure topical application (undiluted)
• Ingestion
• Add to agave nectar, honey, a little vegetable oil, or put it on a piece of bread
• Produces benefits internally

GERMAN

• Direct inhalation or diffusion
• Fragrance can exert effects on the brain
• Especially in the limbic system and the hypothalamus
• Increase oxygenation and activity in the brain

-> this directly improves the function of many systems in the body

(Myrrh, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Vetiver and Melissa)
