Aromatherapy is the modern name for using natural essential oils extracted from flowers, fruits, roots and plants to help maintain our physical and mental health. Our ancestors began using plants thousands of years ago. By watching animals, they learned that certain plants had ‘mystical’ properties. Certain plant juices helped heal wounds and leaves might make sick people feel better. Other plants would be burned and the smoke inhaled making people sleepy and relaxed or excited or even happy.
