Relax, Rejuvenate, and Heal with Aromatherapy at Pulse Acupuncture
What is Aromatherapy in Clifton?
Aroma therapy is a form of alternative medicine that is gaining more and more popularity, and Clifton is no exception. Have you ever tried such an exotic way to relax? If not, it’s worth trying aromatherapy services at Pulse Acupuncture.
Aromatherapy services use essential oils, which are extracted from plants and contain natural aromatic components. Oils can be obtained from different parts of plants, such as leaves, stems, roots, fruits, and so on.
Each essential oil has its unique aroma and properties that can influence both emotional and physical well-being. These oils can exist and be used in different forms, such as massage oil, aerosol, aromatic pillows, and so on. They can be applied at home or in professional salons and spa centers.
A Brief History of Aromatherapy
Don’t let the term “alternative medicine” intimidate you when it comes to aromatherapy. Its origins trace back thousands of years, deeply embedded in the traditions of ancient civilizations. The earliest known use of essential oils was discovered in the Mesopotamian region, covering parts of present-day Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran.
Aromatherapy gained recognition as a science-backed practice in the 20th century, thanks to French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé. In the 1920s, his research explored the impact of essential oils on the body, sparking interest and further research by scientists and chemists, which paved the way for the modern understanding of aromatherapy.
What is Aromatherapy Good For?
Aromatherapy offers an alternative approach for the prevention and treatment of various conditions, especially in areas where traditional medicine may have limitations. Here are some ways aromatherapy can support wellness:
- Aromatherapy for Sleep: Research by the National Sleep Foundation reveals that nearly a third of U.S. adults don’t achieve the recommended 7 or more hours of sleep. Lavender essential oil can soothe the nervous system, making it particularly helpful for young adults and women dealing with insomnia. Students may also benefit, as it helps them wake up feeling refreshed rather than drowsy. Bergamot oil has been shown to aid in lowering blood pressure and boosting mental well-being. One study found that 64% of healthy women reported enhanced sleep quality after using a blend of bergamot and sandalwood oils. Additional research shows that a combination of Roman chamomile, lavender, and neroli can improve sleep quality, even under high-stress conditions like intensive care.
- Aromatherapy for Anxiety: The same blend of Roman chamomile, lavender, and neroli is also effective for reducing anxiety. According to Johns Hopkins University research, essential oils can be beneficial in cases where other treatments haven’t provided sufficient relief.
- Aromatherapy for Nausea Relief: Scents like ginger, peppermint, spearmint, and bergamot can be highly effective in easing nausea and alleviating symptoms associated with food poisoning.
- Aromatherapy for Headache Relief: Essential oils like lavender, rosemary, peppermint, chamomile, and eucalyptus can help ease headache symptoms. However, these oils should be avoided during pregnancy, as they could pose risks to fetal health.
- Aromatherapy for Relaxation: Essential oils such as lavender, geranium, patchouli, and sandalwood are known to enhance relaxation, improve sleep, and reduce anxiety, offering a sense of calm and tranquility.
- Aromatherapy for Migraine Relief: Oils like lemon, peppermint, and lavender are beneficial for addressing migraines, helping to alleviate symptoms such as nausea, light sensitivity, and other discomforts that accompany migraines.
This is just a sampling of aromatherapy’s potential. Importantly, many of these benefits have a basis in scientific research.
How Does Aromatherapy Work?
Aromatherapy uses essential oils to enhance physical and emotional wellness. Here are the primary methods commonly used:
- Diffusion: This method involves inhaling essential oil aromas through devices like aroma lamps, humidifiers, diffusers, or scented candles. Oils are added to water or placed in containers, allowing their scent to fill the air when exposed to heat or ultrasonic waves.
- Aromatherapy Massage: Essential oils with a light texture are applied during massage for relaxation, stress relief, or to help address issues like muscle pain and inflammation.
- Inhalation: Adding essential oils to a warm bath allows the scent to circulate and also be absorbed by the skin, providing relaxation or an invigorating effect. It’s important to choose appropriate oils and follow guidelines to avoid skin irritation.
- Compresses: Essential oils are applied to a cloth, which is then wrapped and warmed to relieve pain or inflammation in specific areas of the body.
- Aromatherapy Candles: Oils infused in candles release a soothing aroma as they burn. Keep these candles away from children and pets for safety.
These methods can be used individually for relaxation and wellness or combined to address specific conditions. Safety is key when practicing aromatherapy to enjoy its full benefits.
Aromatherapy Benefits at Pulse Acupuncture
While aromatherapy and essential oils aren’t regulated by law, using them without understanding their effects can pose health risks. It’s crucial to consult with a specialist before starting aromatherapy at home. At-home aromatherapy limits access to certain professional techniques, such as therapeutic essential oil massages, which are best left to trained experts. If you prioritize your health, trusting professionals is the safest approach.
Aromatherapy is often most effective when used alongside other therapies, rather than as a standalone treatment. For instance, combining aromatherapy with acupuncture can amplify the benefits of both. Essential oils in conjunction with acupuncture may be used to:
- Stimulating acupuncture points before inserting needles enhances the treatment’s effectiveness.
- Massaging before or after an acupuncture session helps relax muscles and boost blood circulation.
- Releasing calming aromas to create a stress-relieving, relaxing atmosphere.
In general, aromatherapy can be combined with many other Eastern and Western medical and cosmetic practices. For example, aromatherapy can be combined with cupping, tui-na massage, and others.
At Pulse Acupuncture in Clifton, you do not need to worry about how to properly perform the procedure, what to use, and how to avoid mistakes. Qualified specialists with years of experience will take care of it for you.

I was a patient of Marina Doktorma for about two weeks (October/November 2020), receiving acupuncture treatments for lower back and knee pain. Marina is a true professional. Before beginning each treatment, she explained the treatment options and made sure that I was well informed and comfortable before beginning. She was very gentle as she administered the treatments, (I feel asleep a few times) communicating with me throughout the process. In addition to the premise being very clean, relaxing music made for a very calming experience. Without hesitation, I would return for future treatments if the pain returns. Kenny.
