Aromatherapy FAQ
What is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the use of natural essential oil blends through scent, bathing, body care or diffusion to help create a more intentional wellbeing routine. It is often used to support moments of relaxation, focus, rest or emotional balance as part of everyday self care. Essential oils should always be used as directed and not ingested.
How do I choose the right Aromatherapy Associates blend?
Choose your blend based on how you want to feel. Deep Relax is suited to evening wind down rituals, Revive is designed for energy and freshness, De Stress Mind supports a calmer headspace, and De Stress Muscle is ideal after physical effort or long periods of tension. If you are new to Aromatherapy Associates, start with the mood or moment you want to support.
How do you create an aromatherapy ritual at home?
Start with a simple moment you already repeat every day, such as your morning shower, evening bath, skincare routine or bedtime wind down. Add scent through a Bath and Shower Oil, Pure Essential Oil Blend, body oil, mist or diffuser, then take a few slow breaths before continuing with your routine.
Can aromatherapy be used every day?
Yes, aromatherapy can be used daily when products are used as directed. A consistent ritual can help scent become a familiar cue for different moments of the day, such as feeling more awake in the morning, resetting after work or preparing for sleep in the evening. Relaxation techniques are often most useful when practised regularly.
What aromatherapy is best for sleep and stress?
For sleep, look for calming evening blends with ingredients often associated with relaxation, such as lavender, camomile, sandalwood or vetivert. For stress, choose blends designed to support a calmer mood or help ease the feeling of tension after a busy day. Aromatherapy may support relaxation and sleep quality as part of a broader wind down routine.
Can aromatherapy help with muscle soreness?
Aromatherapy body care can be a helpful part of a post workout or end of day recovery ritual, especially when combined with massage, warmth and rest. For tired or tense muscles, choose body oils, bath oils or gels designed for physical wellbeing. If muscle pain is severe, persistent or unusual, seek medical advice.
