AROMATHERAPY

In Ayurvedic medicine the use of aromatic essences for therapeutic purposes is widely
practiced. The
essences are used in the preparation of massage oils and diffused in the environment for
their quality to
influence body and mind. Internal use of essential oils is rarely used, as opposed to western
