Aromatherapy
"Aromatherapy" was first coined by the French chemist René Maurice
Gattefossé in the early 1920's to describe the practice of using essential
oils extracted from plants, flowers, roots, seeds and used for healing
purposed. Gattefossé demonstrated that essential oils penetrate the skin
and, via the extra-cellular liquids, reach the blood and lymph, which carry
them in the circulation to the organs and promote wellness. A basic
principle of Aromatherapy is to strengthen the self-healing processes by
indirect stimulation of the immune system. Essentially, modern
Aromatherapy is the inhalation and bodily application of essential oils from
aromatic plants to relax, balance, rejuvenate, restore or enhance body, mind
and spirit.
Dr. Joan Borden of the Manhattan Acupuncture Center in Manhattan, New York

ailments such as skin problems and in particular emotional difficulties.
