Aromatherapy is a type of alternative medicine that uses scented essential oils extracted from plants to encourage health and well-being. These oils are typically inhaled or applied to the skin through massage or other methods. Practitioners believe that the scents from these oils can have therapeutic effects on the body and mind, such as reducing stress, enhancing relaxation, and improving mood.
