Aromatherapy is a healing therapy that uses the aromatic molecules in fragrant plants to assist the body in healing itself. However, the care of a qualified doctor should not be ignored and the care of a qualified aromatherapist should also be used.

There are many benefits derived from aromatherapy that can be even better than conventional drugs. Colds, headaches, or indigestion and such common complaints that can be easily treated with essential oils

Advantages of using aromatherapy: Can be used with drugs, can be used in conjunction with herbal remedies, work with you and not against you, usually work quickly, side effects are usually non existant, do not linger in the body so an accumulation does’nt happen, is inexpensive and easily carried with you when you need to travel.

An important consideration when using aromatherapy products is that the oils help the body to heal itself which is what holistic healing is all about. They help to kill the bad bacteria and leave alone the good bacteria and do not create a resistance to bad bacteria as recently reported in the overuse of conventional anti-biotics.
