Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being. Sometimes it’s called essential oil therapy. Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils medicinally to improve the health of the body, mind, and spirit.

Many self-care practices and products can be enhanced by the incorporation of essential oils. It’s important, however, to remember that essential oils are very potent, and do not suit everyone; they should not be used or diffused continuously throughout the day.
