Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment that uses pure essential oils (fragrant plant extracts) to promote health and wellbeing, usually through massage, inhalation, baths or compresses. As a holistic treatment, it can have a profound effect on the person's physical and psychological wellbeing. It is believed that scent, being the most enduring of our senses, has the power to heal people's bodies and transform emotions.

Aromatherapy has several health benefits, ranging from physical to the emotional. The benefits can be received from inhalation or by topical application. The following are some benefits that can be gained from aromatherapy:
Aromatherapy works through inhalation or skin absorption, or a combination of both. For inhalation, the essential oils are evaporated into the air using a diffuser or a spray bottle, or added to a steam bath. Apart from the aromatic smell, the oils can provide other benefits such as disinfection, nasal decongestant, and positive psychological effects.
For skin absorption, the essential oils are never used directly on the skin. They are diluted with a carrier. Then, it is used as massage oils, or as bath and skin care products. Massaging with essential oils can improve circulation and increase absorption. It's important to perform a skin patch test first before trying a new essential oil to prevent potential allergic reactions.
