All of the above are part of aromatherapy but there's so much more. There's an entire discipline based on the essential oils found in the plant kingdom and the way they affect your sense of smell and touch, and even the way you think and feel. The essential oilssometimes called volatile oils or plant essencescan be inhaled, massaged into the skin, placed in bathwater, or even taken internally. They are healing and antiseptic and can help allay anxiety, relieve depression and contribute to a romantic evening. This book is an introduction to the art and science of plant essences. Your world will never be the same again. Page 1 Chapter One The Ancient Art of Aromatherapy
