Aromatherapy and the usage of essential oils have been around for hundreds of years— rumor has it that even Cleopatra enjoyed them.

So, what is aromatherapy, and why should you add it to your daily routine?

Aromatherapy refers to the practice of using aromatic compounds, most notably essential oils, to improve overall health and well-being. Aromatherapy can help with stress, worry, and sadness, and it can even improve your sleep quality.

Here are some suggestions to get you started with aromatherapy at home:

Light some scented candles in every room

Sometimes all you need to do is light a candle to put all your stresses and worries to rest. Lighting scented candles can help you relax and unwind after a long day at the office. When you relax in the warm glow of the candlelight and inhale the soothing aroma, you'll find that your worries and concerns melt away.

However, aroma candles are great for more than just de-stressing—they're perfect for turning the most casual date into a romantic candlelit dinner. Not only will they offer a warm and comforting environment, but they'll also help you sleep better when you call it a night.

Enhance your outfit with aromatic oils

Adding a few sprays of aromatic, natural oil to your jewelry or décor is another great way to fill your house with a fresh, pleasant aroma. This also helps you take the benefits of aromatherapy with you when you go out. You'll have a little bit of stress relief with you as you go about your day. Plus, people will feel relaxed and comfortable around you when you’re all decked in soothing scents.

Use bath & body products infused with essential oils

Using essential oil–infused bath and body products is an excellent way of practicing aromatherapy at home. Every essential oil has a unique aroma and several qualities that promote wellness. When these are added to soaps, body oils, and shampoos, they get absorbed into your skin and the air in your home. Use them in your daily shower regimen, and your preferred fragrance will linger on your body long after you leave the bathroom.
