Aromatherapy is the practise of using essential oils for therapeutic benefits. It's has been used for centuries across hundred of countries. When inhaled, the scent molecules in essential oils travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain, directly impacting the amygdala, the emotional centre of the brain. 

It's important to note that before using the oil, it must be diluted in water. Oils are highly concentrated & volatile substances. Diluting the oils helps minimise irritation & optimise the nature of the fragrance.
