Aromatherapy is the name given to the practice of using plant oils, especially those known to be essential oils for healing and rejuvenating various aspects of physical and psychological health and well-being. The practice of Aromatherapy is favored by those looking to recharge their senses and replenish their tired bodies.

The principle underlying the practice is that of capturing the power of the essential oils and using it to revitalize the body, thus removing signs of daily stress and fatigue. The terminology ‘essential oils’ is used because the essential oils are considered to be the ‘essence’ of the plant and if they are used properly, one can get rid of a number of problems. Hydrosol, Absolute and CO2 extracts are the main ingredients in most aromatherapy concoctions.

Aromatherapy can help an individual get rid of infections by destroying harmful bacteria and fungi in the body. Eucalyptus oil will help you recover from the common cold in no time. It is also recommended by psychiatrists because it can help get rid of depression, anxiety and stress. Basil oil is the best example in this case. Sandalwood, lavender and rosemary oil can also calm down an individual and get rid of irritation within minutes. Tea tree oil is applied around a fresh wound to help it heal faster.

Research has shown that aromatherapy also helps to get rid of severe post partum depression.
