Because of excessive exposure to pollution and ultraviolet radiation, the prevalence of skin diseases and skin related issues, including reduced elasticity has increased considerably across the globe, including North America. For example, in the U.S., acne is the most common skin condition, and affects up to 50 million Americans each year, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). One of the more serious skin conditions is skin cancer, and is has been observed that over 9,500 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with this cancer every day. While skin diseases are non-fatal, in most cases, they can considerably affect a person’s mental health, social participation, and ability to function.
Since essential oils have been found to be effective in the treatment of some of the skin conditions, people in North America are increasingly adopting aromatherapy for several purposes. Aromatherapy, also known as essential oil therapy, is a holistic healing treatment which utilizes natural plant extracts for promoting health and well-being. The medicinal use of aromatic essential oils improves both emotional and physical health.
