Aromatherapy is a holistic healing technique that involves using essential oils extracted from plants to promote physical, emotional, and psychological wellbeing. It has been practiced for thousands of years and is still popular today due to its many benefits.

In the 20th century, the French chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse coined the term "aromatherapy" and conducted extensive research on the therapeutic properties of essential oils.

Today, aromatherapy is widely used in spas, wellness centres, and homes all over the world. It involves using essential oils in various ways, including inhalation, topical application, and ingestion, to promote physical, emotional, and psychological wellbeing.

One of the reasons why aromatherapy is so popular is because of its many benefits.
