The use of essential oils for therapeutic purposes is known as aromatherapy. Aromatherapy has been practiced for millennia. The aroma molecules in essential oils move directly from the olfactory nerves to the brain when inhaled, affecting the amygdala, the brain's emotional center.
Essential oils can be absorbed via the skin as well. During a
massage, a massage therapist could add a drop or two of wintergreen oil to the
oil to help relax tense muscles. To provide a relaxing soak, a skincare brand
can add lavender to bath salts.
Aromatherapy is a complementary medicine that aids in the
recovery of a variety of ailments, including pain, cardiovascular disease,
respiratory disease, skin problems, cold and cough, digestion issues, immune
system malfunction, sleeplessness, anxiety, and wounds. Acne scars are more
common in women, and persons with acne-related issues frequently use
therapeutic-grade essential oils. The major factors that hinder growth of the
global aromatherapy
market include risk factors associated with aromatherapy and stringent
regulations by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) egarding marketing of
essential oils.
Over the forecast period, the demand for aromatherapy in scar
management is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3%. Burn injuries generate
hypertrophic burn scars that are visible even after the pain has gone away.
Furthermore, sutures left over after surgery leaves scars. Aromatherapy oils
aid in the reduction of scarring caused by surgery or accidents, which can take
longer to recover. Essential oils aid in the healing of wounds and the
reduction of scars.
Rapid e-commerce expansion has had a favourable impact on
market growth by allowing consumers to purchase things at their leisure. To
increase sales, manufacturers and other online sellers frequently offer
products at a discount on their websites. The segment's growth is influenced by
the simplicity of purchasing and the availability of a diverse selection of
products.
