Aromatherapy is becoming an increasingly popular treatment for hair loss. After hearing success stories of others, many people who were once skeptical are slowly becoming intrigued. Using fragrant botanicals oils to grow hair may seem like a far-fetched idea until you learn how it works.

Aromatherapy involves the use of essential oils to stimulate physiological changes in the body producing therapeutic results. The therapeutic results come from the unique chemical constituents of each essential oil.

To promote hair growth, aromatherapy formulas are massaged into the scalp. Because the molecules of essential oils are very small and because they are lipophilic, they are almost immediately absorbed into the skin and hair follicles.

As they travel through the system they perform various functions to get the scalp in the best condition possible to create an ideal environment for healthy hair growth.

Aromatherapy formulas thoroughly cleanse and nourish the scalp. The most well known benefit of essential oils is the ability to increase circulation. The scalp being an extremity is one of the hardest places for blood to circulate to. The hair follicles receive nutrients through the blood supply. If circulation is poor, follicles will become malnourished, the root will suffer and the hair will not grow to its full potential.

In order for new growth to occur the scalp must be kept very clean. Essential oils cleanse the scalp of excess oil called sebum. If not thoroughly cleansed this excess oil turns into wax, clogging the follicles and creating a barrier for the new hair to penetrate. If the hair does manage to push through the wax it will be weak and frail not likely to survive. Essential oils also cleanse the scalp of dead skin cells and environmental pollutants.

Essential oils transport oxygen to the roots of our hair and to every cell in our body. This increased oxygen helps to revitalize cells within our scalp, skin and entire system. Essential oils are known to have cellular regenerative properties, having the unique ability to penetrate the layers of skin all the way down to the dermal layer where cells are formed.

Essential oils are very compatible with our skin and hair. They are directly absorbed into keratin (which is what are hair and nail are made of) and they have a unique ability to penetrate the cuticle and cortex layers of the hair.

Their antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic qualities can assist in many scalp conditions which can hinder hair growth.

Extreme care must be taken when using aromatherapy formulas. Although essential oils are natural, they can cause harm when used irresponsibly. Safety guidelines must be followed precisely.
