      What is Aromatherapy

      Aromatherapy, or essential oils therapy, is using a plant’s aroma-producing oils (essential oils) to treat varying ailments. Essential oils are taken from a plant’s flowers, leaves, stalks, bark, rind, or roots. The oils are then mixed with another substance (such as oil, alcohol, or a lotion) and then placed directly on the skin, sprayed in the air, or inhaled. You can also massage the oils into the skin or pour them into your bath water. Aromatherapy as used today originated in Europe and has been practiced there since the early 1900s.
