What is Aromatherapy? Today we explore the true meaning of aromatherapy. Simple in terms but confusing to most aromatherapy is derived from two words, aroma - meaning fragrance or smell and therapy - meaning treatment. It is the practice of using essential oils to maintain and promote physical and emotional well-being. Essential oils have been around for centuries, used by many different cultures, in a variety of ways and as a form of holistic therapy. Research has shown essential oils to be some of the strongest metabolite agents; ridding the body of toxins and fighting infections. Guest website - www.aromaticsinternational.com
