introduction

Aromatherapy, as an important component of traditional Chinese medicine, has always carried the responsibility of preventing and treating diseases, as well as promoting health and wellness. It is not only a type of external treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, but also a shining pearl in the treasure trove of Chinese culture. With the acceleration of modern life pace, aromatherapy has re entered people's vision with its unique charm and become one of the important ways for modern people to pursue physical and mental health.

The historical origins of aromatherapy

The history of aromatherapy can be traced back to ancient times. According to historical records, as early as the Yin and Shang dynasties, people began using methods such as smoking and steaming to prevent diseases and clean the environment. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon introduces "aromatherapy" as a method of treating diseases, known as "fragrant therapy", marking the formal establishment of aromatherapy in traditional Chinese medicine theory. Afterwards, aromatherapy gradually improved through the continuous practice and exploration of medical practitioners throughout history, forming a unique system of traditional Chinese medicine aromatherapy.

Application of Aromatherapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory

Traditional Chinese Medicine Aromatherapy is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, using essential oils extracted from aromatic drugs as a medium to make appropriate dosage forms. It acts on the human body through various methods such as massage, bathing, breathing, and application to nourish the skin, regulate the organs and qi system, promote physical and mental balance, and prevent and treat diseases. The core of it lies in "fragrant opening the orifices, promoting qi circulation and blood circulation, and eliminating dampness and impurities", that is, stimulating the meridians and acupoints of the human body through fragrance to achieve the purpose of regulating organ function and enhancing immunity.

Specific methods of aromatherapy

1. Xiangpei Method: Processing fragrant Chinese herbs into powder, putting them into a special cloth bag, hanging them on the bedside or chest, and stimulating the body's immune system through the evaporation of medicinal scent to prevent and treat diseases. A typical application of this method is the traditional Chinese medicine sachet.

2. Fragrant compress method: Grind aromatic drugs into fine powder, mix them with different liquids to form a paste preparation, and apply it to acupoints or affected areas, so that the medicinal effect can be produced through the skin meridians. Like Sanfu Tie, it uses this principle to treat diseases that are prone to occur in winter.

3. Fragrance Pillow Method : Place aromatic drugs inside the pillow or boil them and soak the juice in the pillowcase to dry. This can achieve the goal of treating diseases or prolonging life while sleeping. The traditional Chinese medicine pillow is a representative of this method.

4. Aromatherapy : Drop essential oil into the aromatherapy machine, and after inhaling the essential oil, stimulate the brain to produce a sense of pleasure, achieving the effect of relaxing the body and mind. This method is particularly common in modern families.
