MANILA, Philippines - Aromatherapy is defined as the use of essential oils to promote physical and psychological well-being. For centuries, these aromatic oils derived from plants have been proven to have therapeutic effects and are used to improve one’s mood and health, and to prevent diseases.
According to aromatherapy expert Dr. Michael Turvill, aromatherapy works in two ways: inhalation and absorption. “Through inhalation, the molecules of essential oils travel up the nose and send a message to the part of the brain that responds to the new smell. These molecules can also be absorbed through the pores of our skin and transported throughout the body via our bloodstream. This is why we feel relaxed or energized when we are massaged or when we breathe in the scent of essential oils.”
Aromatherapy takes a new form that can be enjoyed within the comfort of your own home –– through the new Surf Aromatherapy Fabric Conditioner. It has three variants, Relaxing, Energizing and Purifying, which contain essential oils that have positive effects on one’s emotions and put you in a better mood.
A breakthrough in laundry conventions, Surf Aromatherapy Fabric Conditioner has 100-percent essential oils in concentrated fragrance capsules, which are slowly released and deposited on the clothes’ fibers during the wash. This not only gives your clothes long-lasting fragrance, but also provides you with the benefits of aromatherapy.
“Essential oils are generally expensive,” says Dr. Turvill. “That is why products that contain essential oils such as massage and body oils, soaps and lotions, as well as home relaxation products like aromatherapy candles and diffusers are also more expensive and considered premium.” The expert explains that this is due to the difficulty in extracting these oils. “For instance, 60,000 rose blooms are needed to produce 25 grams of rose oil, while 200,000 jasmine flowers are needed to produce the same amount of jasmine oil. The rarity or abundance of the plant is also a factor that affects its price.”
Nowadays, more and more people are discovering the therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy and what better way to indulge and relax than with the new Surf Aromatherapy Fabric Conditioner. This innovative product not only gives you great-smelling clothes, but it also allows you to experience the luxurious experience of aromatherapy with every wash.
