Does aromatherapy actually work or is it just a myth?
Dear Reader,
No one really "nose" if aromatherapy works, but the
practice of using essential oils to treat illness and alter mood
has existed for over 5,000 years. While there is a fair amount of
research on aromatherapy with essential oils and their uses, the
findings are mixed as to their effectiveness. Whether
aromatherapy causes a real physiological response or simply works
by power of the mind (i.e., the placebo effect) remains to be
seen.
Aromatherapy, also known as essential oil therapy, uses aromatic
oils derived from plant parts such as roots, bark, or leaves.
Since essential oils are very concentrated, they can be
expensive. For example, it takes 220 pounds of lavender flowers
to produce just one pound of lavender essential oil.
