Posted on by Sonia Katlun

If you have recently stumbled upon essential oils, you are wondering what is aromatherapy? The technique has been in existence for thousands of years, and it entails the use of oils made from plants to enhance overall health. Manufacturers extract the oils from various plant parts, including fruits, leaves, and barks, through pressing or steaming. Apart from producing scent, the oils perform numerous other functions beneficial for humans, as they are for plants.

Essential oil products are available in different chemical makeups and fragrances, but the most popular are:

  • Lavender for stress relief
  • Tea tree for wound healing, insect bites, and acne
  • Peppermint for headaches and irritable bowel syndrome
  • Lemon for mood enhancement
