Aromatherapy???

So what is aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the gentle science based on the use of essential oils derived from plants.
Apart from their pleasing aromas, essential oils are valued for their cosmetic and therapeutic values.
The essential oils are able to stimulate the body's self healing processes.
Aromatherapy uniquely combines in equal importance, individual blends of oils with body contact therapy.
The significance of aromatherapy as a holistic art lies in the uniqueness of each treatment, as opposed to a technique of massage or a standard prescription of ready blended oils.
