Health Benefits of Aromatherapy

The extraction of flowers and plants began over 6,000 years ago when the Egyptians used certain oils for medicinal and burial purposes. However, the official term was created in 1930 by a French Chemist. Lavender oil was used to treat soldiers in the World War 2. It can be used many different ways. Massage oils applied directly onto the skin during an actual body massage can kill germs and bacteria. It also increases the resistance to illness by boosting the immune system. Massage in itself can reduce tension by calming the nerves and depression and create rejuvenation.
