Aromatherapy uses extracts from cultivated or wild species of plants for
various therapies (classic herbal medicine or beauty). Aromatherapy plant extracts
contain specific compounds that produce various effects on the body. Aromatherapy extracts
may be prescribed by physicians for internal use or are more frequently
administered with massage, steam inhalation, salves and ointments, or bathing.
A variety of illnesses have been treated with aromatherapy: acne, anxiety,
circulatory problems, depression, obesity, ruptured capillaries, rheumatism,
and stress. It is advisable to use aromatherapy extracts only under the advice
of an aromatherapist, since many of the extracted oils can be poisonous in
larger quantities. Ancient Egyptians used aromatic plants as a way of life,
but the term "aromatherapy" was not coined until 1928 by French chemist Rene
Gattefosse.
