You don't need to be an expert to enjoy aromatherapy. Marian Buckley uncovers some easy ways to treat yourself using some of nature's magical oils.
Aromatherapy is an ancient healing art which has been used for centuries.
It's also a rewarding and simple therapy which you can experiment with yourself. It uses natural essences extracted from plants, trees, fruits and herbs to treat a wide range of conditions, from stress to sexual appetite. As you discover more oils, some will probably become firm favourites. One of the easiest ways to experiment is to use oils that help you relax. Among the most effective are lavender, geranium and rose.
