AROMATHERAPY is the use of essential oils extracted from flowers, fruits, plants and trees to relieve anxiety, nausea, insomnia, pain and other symptoms. Scents from the oils are inhaled and stimulate the olfactory nerves in the nose. Or, oils are applied to possibly be absorbed and enter the bloodstream. It is said that they act on the limbic system of the brain, including the hippocampus and the amygdala, which are associated with feelings and emotions. The practioners of this procedure say that it should not be confused with scented soaps and candles sold in New Age boutiques.
