Aromatherapy info

Aromatherapy dates back many thousands of years. Experts believe it was the ancient Egyptians who first recognized its benefits, with plant oils being used in the treatment of a vast array of illnesses and complaints, and in the process of embalming. It is a holistic approach to healing, with specific plant oils suited to certain ailments. The oils are usually applied via massage, but can be used in a variety of other ways, for example, in the bath, worn as a perfume, or through vaporization using candles, pot pourris or incense sticks.
