aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is a herbal medicine that uses the essential oils of plants, fruits, spices and resins to improve and maintain good health, and restore balance to encourage natural healing. Each essential oil has its own unique scent and gentle healing action, working alone or blended with other oils to relieve pain, alleviate stress and anxiety, and balance the mind and body. Aromatherapy works in harmony with conventional medicine, and other holistic treatments, and because aromatherapy benefits people of all ages, and can be easily and safely practiced at home through a variety of methods, it has become very popular as a home remedy. Below, you will find some basic information to get you started, and there are also lots of relevant books available in new and second hand bookstores.
