Over the last few years, it seems as though more and more people are talking about aromatherapy. From aromatic lotions sold in consumer stores to spas and massage therapists offering the service, it definitely seems to be growing in popularity. While there's little scientific research to back the treatment, there's plenty of anecdotal evidence that suggests that aromatherapy can ease nausea, promote relaxation, help with digestive issues and boost the immune system.Although it's becoming more common in the U.S., aromatherapy isn't new by any means. The Chinese, Indians and Egyptians have used essential oils for thousands of years. Aromatherapy experts caution though that care should be taken in choosing a practitioner or when using the oils yourself. For example, some oils can cause an allergic reaction or increase sensitivity to the sun.

It is imperative to use therapeutic grade essential oils. Organic, pure and/or natural are not necessarily therapeutic grade. Using inferior oils cause negative reactions. I've used therapeutic oils in my work and home for years and have had nothing but positive results. I highly recommend them.

These aromatic lotions can be spread into the air easily by fragrance diffusers. It kills all the bacteria and germs in the air, and definitely helps in easing anxiety and relaxation.
And as Carla mentioned, only use therapeutic grade essential oils!
I love aromatherapy. To me this is the greatest scent on earth. I have the essential oil and also the candle. Turn off the light, turn on the candle, and I would get the best night sleep ever.
