After becoming ill and being placed on a medication that prevented her from taking other medications for colds, pain and so forth, Roxy decided she wanted to find an alternative healing method that would alleviate her symptoms and allow her to go off the medication. She turned to the Internet for her research. The more she read about aromatherapy, the more interested she became. She found a wealth of information on the net, and then she began reading every book she could find on the subject. She watched with fascination as more and more products became available on the market.
Aromatherapy uses extracts from flowers, herbs and other plants.
Although there are many scented products on the market today, aromatherapy is different because it uses these essential oils for healing. The concept is not new. Ancient cultures in Egypt and China used plants to help the healing process. Oriental medicine still does use plants for healing. More and more Westerners are beginning to use these gifts from nature.
