Aromatherapy involves the use of devices that utilize essential oils extracted from nature, such as plants, for inhalation or topical application to promote health and well-being. The aroma molecules in essential oils directly impact the brain's emotional center, the amygdala, when inhaled, providing various benefits such as pain reduction, improved sleep quality, alleviation of joint pain, and stress reduction.
The main types of aromatherapy products include equipment and consumables. Aromatherapy equipment can be electronic or non-electronic devices that break down essential oils into molecules and disperse them into the air as tiny breathable particles. These devices can be utilized through topical application, areal diffusion, and direct inhalation. Aromatherapy products serve various purposes, including relaxation, skin and hair care, pain management, addressing colds and coughs, scar management, insomnia, among others. These products are distributed through both business-to-business (B2B) and direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels, reaching customers for home use, spa and wellness centers, hospitals and clinics, as well as yoga and meditation centers.
