The term aromatherapy has been in existence for a relatively short period of time in history. However, principles and practices lying behind the concept can be traced back to some of the ancient civilizations of mankind. In researching this question we are left with a sense that people view aromatherapy from a variety of perspectives, including:
A way of pampering yourself, a means to a very relaxing massage, a metaphysical experience induced by the aromatic properties of an essential oil, a pleasant way of maintaining health and vitality, an excursion into the unknown and unproven that shouldn’t be undertaken, a considered alternative health treatment that focuses on the total or holistic health of an individual.
The Collins English Dictionary Millennium Edition, 2000 defines aromatherapy as:
“The use of fragrant essential oils extracted from plants as a treatment in alternative medicine to relieve tension and cure certain minor ailments.”
