Aromatherapy combines the use of essential oils derived from flowers, fruits, herbs and spices, with massage. Aromatherapy is believed to have a favorable effect on both the immune and nervous systems, as well as rebalancing the body’s natural energies.
It can be used to treat skin disorders and digestive problems, tension headaches and muscular stiffness, and is powerfully effective in the treatment of depression, anxiety and stress. Among the specific anti- stress antidotes offered by aroma therapeutic oils are jasmine, fennel, hyssop and orange blossom.
