🌿 What is aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is a natural discipline that uses essential oils — concentrated aromatic extracts of plants — to support physical, emotional, and energetic well-being .

It is part of a holistic approach:
👉 The body, mind, and emotions are interconnected.

- "Aromatherapy invites us to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the natural intelligence of plants, for deep and lasting well-being."

---

🧪 How do essential oils work?

1️⃣ Olfactory action (nervous system)

Aromatic molecules stimulate the sense of smell, which acts directly on the limbic system (area of ​​emotions, stress, memory).

👉 Relaxation, calmness, mental clarity, letting go.

2️⃣ Skin action (massage)

Dilution in a vegetable oil → gradual penetration during massage.

👉 Muscle relaxation, bodily comfort, a feeling of harmony.

3️⃣ Energy Action (holistic traditions)

Each plant carries a natural vibration used in rituals of healing, meditation or grounding.

👉 Balancing, recentering, gentle emotional work.
