Fragrant essential oils can enrich your life, whether they are
used therapeutically, in beauty treatments, to perfume the home or for sheer pleasure. But
when the oils are combined with massage their effectiveness in
relieving stress, improving mood and promoting good health is most striking.
WHAT IS AROMATHERAPY?
"Aroma" derives from the Greek work for
spice - today we use the word more broadly to mean fragrance - and "therapy"
means treatment, so aromatherapy literally means curative treatment by the use of scent.
Odours are perceived by the part of the brain connected with emotion, so a pleasurable
scent can have a positive effect on your enjoyment of life.
