What is aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy has come to be defined as “the therapeutic use of essential oils, whether absorbed via the skin or olfactory system or taken internally” (Buckle, 2010, p.15). When used therapeutically, essential oils can not only bring about a desired physical effect, such as the reduction of aches and pains, but they can also act upon the central nervous system to relieve anxiety, depression, and stress while restoring a sense of well-being to both mind and body. The effects of aromatherapy can be almost immediate, enhancing pain management techniques and allowing for a better quality of life (Buckle, 2010, p.15).
