What exactly is aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is the art of using pure, exquisite plant essences to bring your mind, body, and emotions back into harmony.
You inhale these rare botanicals…and your nervous system responds with an elegant shift—your breath lengthens, your thoughts soften, your inner rhythm steadies.
It’s nature whispering you back into balance.
Here's the science behind it
When you inhale essential oils, the aroma travels directly to your olfactory system—the part of your brain that interprets scent. From there, these delicate aroma molecules reach the limbic system, the region that influences your emotions, heart rate, breath, memory, and overall sense of calm.
This simple act of inhalation gently activates the hypothalamus—the body’s internal command center—sending signals that can ease stress, support immunity, balance the nervous system, and lower tension in both mind and body.
The olfactory bulb then transmits the impulses to the amygdala where emotional memories are stored and to the other parts of the limbic system of the brain.
And that's why you are quickly taken to a place of comforting nostalgia whenever you smell a familiar fragrance as it triggers an emotional memory.
How does Aromatherapy benefit you?
Aromatherapy works with your body, not against it. No complexity. No pressure. Just support.
How to get started?
Start With Just 2–3 Essential Oils
Choose gentle, versatile oils to build comfort:
- Lavender (calming, sleep, stress relief)
- Sweet Orange (uplifting, refreshing)
- Peppermint (clarity, focus, congestion relief)
This helps you understand how aromas affect your mood and body without feeling overwhelmed.
Begin With Inhalation (Safest & Easiest)
For beginners, the safest method is inhalation:
- Add 2–3 drops in a diffuser.
- Or add 1 drop on a cotton pad and inhale gently.
- Or add 2 drops to a bowl of warm water for steam inhalation.
This method avoids skin sensitivities and lets you experience the core benefits clearly.
Track Your Response
Notice how you feel after 10–15 minutes of inhalation:
- Calmer?
- More focused?
- Any discomfort?
Aromatherapy is highly personal; tuning into your own reactions is key.
Patch-Test Before Skin Use
If applying on skin:
- Always dilute the essential oil with a carrier oil (like coconut, jojoba, almond).
- Beginners can use a safe ratio: 1 drop essential oil : 1 tsp carrier oil.
- Test on a small patch of skin for 24 hours.
Note: Krypa's essential oil blends are clinically certified and fit to use without dilution. The above is valid if you are using essential oils directly (not in a blend form) as they come in concentrated forms.
Learn Correct Dosage (Less Is More)
Essential oils are potent.
- Typical diffuser use: 2–5 drops total.
- Topical blend: 1–2% dilution for beginners.
You don’t need a lot for it to work. You can always refer to Krypa's Product Usage Guide in case of any doubts/queries.
What are the precautionary measures?
Never Apply Essential Oils Directly on the Skin
They can cause burns, irritation, or allergies.
Avoid Using Around Babies, Pregnant Women, and Pets
Some oils can be unsafe. Beginners should be cautious until they learn more.
Avoid Internal Consumption
No ingesting essential oils — this can be toxic without expert supervision.
Be Careful With Strong Oils
Clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus, peppermint, and thyme can be too intense. Start slow.
Use in a Well-Ventilated Space
Too much aroma in a closed, small room may cause headache or nausea.
Check for Medical Conditions & Medications
Some oils may not suit people with asthma, epilepsy, high blood pressure, etc.
