Aroma As Alternative Medicine

[asglu 0]

What is aroma?

Pure fragrances are used for healing. Aromas

are commonly used in the forms of incense flower

essences, and essential oils. Other methods of

aromatherapy include pure scented candles, soaps,

and sachets. Aromas are most effective when pure

(i.e., not diluted with chemical substances). They

are used externally, and unless mixed with a diluting

or base oil, some oils burn the skin. If taken

internally, the mucus membranes would be harmed.

They should not be placed too close to the eyes or

any bodily orifice.
