Aromatherapy is the art or practice of using essential oils to help treat physical or psychological ailments and to restore a general sense of well-being. The practice of using essential oils for medicinal and cosmetic purposes is at least 6000 years old. Throughout the centuries, ancient civilizations have heralded their numerous benefits. Essential oils are absorbed by the body in several ways: they can be inhaled, massaged into the skin, used in the bath, or blended with skin care and hair care products.
