Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils made from plants and flowers.
It is a healing art that aims to rejuvenate body, mind and spirit.
The different smells (aromas), and the chemical constituents of the oils, are said to produce different emotional and physiological reactions.
Essential oils can be massaged into the skin, added to bath water or vaporised in an oil burner. Although aromatherapy has been practised in some form or another in various cultures for thousands of years, the modern version was developed mainly in France.
