Find Your Balance: A Beginner’s Guide to Aromatherapy for Wellness
At True Body Contours, we believe in holistic approaches to wellness. Aromatherapy, the practice of using essential oils to promote physical and emotional balance, is a perfect complement to our body contouring services. In this post, we’ll explore the basics of aromatherapy, its benefits, and how to incorporate it into your self-care routine.
The Science Behind Aromatherapy:
Aromatherapy works by stimulating the brain’s limbic system, which controls emotions, mood, and memory. Essential oils, extracted from plants, contain unique compounds that interact with our body’s chemistry to promote relaxation, energy, or focus.

Ways to Use Essential Oils:
