Does Aromatherapy really work? If so, how? Please give me a scientific explanation.?
Well, there are many forms of alternative medicine out there. But although some of them seem plausible, I still feel skeptical about aromatherapy. Could someone give me a completely scientific explanation on how aromatherapy works?
You want someone with a brain to explain aromatherapy?
The reason that scents are such powerful stimulators of the brain is the speed of their uptake. The receptors in the nose are supplied by the scent itself that stimulates a chemical reaction - instead of relying on a intermittant neurotransmitter. The inner nose is very close to the brain and the hypothalamus, one of hte places where data from memories are stored.
Aromatherapy is nothing magical. It is only a method of inducing relaxation and feelings of contentment. It will not heal any maladies, cure any illness, or prevent any curses.
It will relax you. Depending on the person, it can bring up a broad range of memories. Scents are such potent reminders of memories and their emotional ties, that aromatherapy is an effective method of bringing subconscious thought to the forefront, or the frontal lobes of the brain.
Like a lot of alternative medicines, it will only help to the extent that one gives it credibility. Perhaps it has scientific basis, and maybe it's only in the mind (or the noses) of a few.
I just know it works. I use it in my practice, with great results.
