#aromatherapy
Art of healing based on a range of treatments using aromatic oils extracted from plants. Many ancient civilisations, particularly the Chinese, documented the use of essential oils in treating illness. Aromatherapy is particularly effective against {psychosomatic} & {stress} related illnesses. 


Having described symptoms, the patient is furnished with the appropriate oils. These are applied by massage, inhalation, creams or lotion (they are rarely taken internally).
