What is aromatherapy? Fragrant herbs have been prized for their aromas and medicinal properties since the time of the Egyptians. Today, aromatherapy concentrates on the uses of essential oils to produce effects ranging from relaxation to immune-system enhancement. The term "essential oil" refers to a large class of vegetable-based oils that give plants their odors and other characteristics. These oils may be obtained from various parts of the plant (leaves, roots, flowers, stems, fruits etc.) by steam or water distillation, expression or extraction. |
