Modern medicine has advanced a long way in the 20th century. Today, there seems to be a pill for everything that could possibly ail
you. Still, some people believe there are more natural ways to feel better. Some people prefer aromatherapy to drugs and medicines.
Aromatherapy is a type of “alternative” medicine.
It involves the use of plants for therapy. Essential oils are taken from the flowers, leaves, fruits, stalks and roots of plants. Patients can smell, eat or be massaged with the oil. Therapists claim the healing power is in the scent of the oils.
Many patients agree aromatherapy can be very beneficial. Several of the oils used have a strong, fragrant scent. Breathing in the oil
can cause a number of different reactions. Therapists believe the oils help humans heal in a number of ways.
Soothing muscles is one way. Relieving stress is another. Some aromatherapists claim the oils can actually make the human mind more alert! Some doctors argue that massage is the only real benefit of aromatherapy. But their opinions have had little effect on the industry. Each year over $60 million in aromatherapy products are being sold in North America!
