Benefits of Aromatherapy: Choosing the Right Essential Oil Blend

Aromatherapy is not decoration. Scent molecules reach the limbic system, the brain's emotional centre, faster than most other sensory input, which is why the right blend can change how a massage feels within minutes.

Lavender and chamomile calm an overactive mind and suit evening appointments or anyone struggling with sleep.

Eucalyptus and peppermint clear sinus heaviness and create a cooling, alert finish — a good choice during pollution-heavy months in Ludhiana.

Sweet orange, bergamot and ylang-ylang lift a flat or low mood and work well for daytime sessions.

All essential oils should be diluted in a carrier oil before contact with skin. If you have sensitive skin or are pregnant, tell your therapist so the blend can be adjusted safely.
