What is it ?
Aromatherapy is the art of using oils extracted from aromatic plants to enhance health and beauty. Marjoram oil has been used since the days of the ancient Greeks as a relaxing massage oil and antiseptic. But you will not need to touch the oil in our marjoram oil blend. Simply keep the jar on your bedside table, open it up at night, and you’ll find it will give your bedroom a pleasant smell and help you breathe more easily.
How it work ?
Snoring is caused by vibration of the soft tissue in the back of the throat. Aromatherapy helps to open the nasal passage. Its astringent properties help to reduce the movement of soft tissue, through a contracting effect, thus eliminating snoring.
When we sniff an essential oil, molecules emitting from it travel through the air and enter the nose. There are 50 million smell receptors located at the top of the nasal cavity occupying an area the size of a small postage stamp. These slender nerve cells are called ‘cilia’ and are part of an organ called the olfactory bulb (bulbus olfactorius). This organ is connected to a part of the brain called the Limbic System which is responsible for emotions, memory and sexual arousal. Because of this, when used correctly the properties of essential oils have the power to affect our moods in a positive and balancing way. Which also help us to breath well.
Oil such as Marjoram is a flavored treatment that has been known to cure a person snoring problem. This type of treatment is safe with no potential side-effects. Peppermint has been used to help clear a persons’ air passage ways for years now. Peppermint will allow for smoother movement of breath around the head believe it or not. Vitamins E and B6 have something called liposome which will cover the throat creating a clear path for you to breathe much easier. Essential oils can be used in several ways to treat snoring- in a diffuser, in a massage, and in a mist spray.
How effective is it?
Many tests have been conducted and feedback collected. About 90%-95% people stopped snoring while using the aromatherapy and 5% have experienced great reduction in snoring.
