Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being. Aromatherapy uses essential oils, as the main therapeutic agents, which are said to be highly concentrated substances extracted from flowers, leaves, stalks, fruits and roots, and also distilled from resins. Some people put the oils on their skin when they get a massage or take a bath. These oils are so potent and concentrated that they work on pressure points and rejuvenate.
Lemon, Rosemary, Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Cedarwood, Peppermint, Geranium, and Bergamot are a few of the essential oils used regularly in aromatherapy. The oils may activate certain areas of your brain, like your limbic system, which plays a role in your emotions.
