Aromatherapy has become one of the fastest-growing natural healing arts in our country. The art of aromatherapy uses pure essential oils which are extracted from various parts of the plant and trees. These natural, aromatic, liquid substances are often considered to be the “life force” of plants endowered with a host of therapeutic properties.
Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy that can be used to promote physical, mental, and spiritual health equilibrium. It forms part of a holistic healing regime that involves searching for the root causes of an illness rather than its symptoms and awakening the body’s innate ability to heal itself, leading to a state balance. Aromatherapy involves far more than the application of essential oils. To achieve “whole healing” factors such as diet and lifestyle must always be considered.
