Introduction to Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy simply put means treatments using scents. It is the use of
extracted plant oils including essential oils to help with moods and
personal well being. Our sense of smell is the strongest sense that we
have in connection with our feelings and emotional state.
There are fragrance oils which people often mistake for essential oils.
These fragrances contain unnatural elements and chemicals and do not
have the therapeutic benefits of oils. Some companies put the words
aromatherapy on these products; therefore it is wise to always check the
label for ingredients.
