Aromatherapy is the practical use of volatile oils extracted from plant parts, from the petals, leaves, roots, fruits and from vegetables. Aromatherapy is used to cure physical ailments and psychological disturbances such as tension and stress. Here the word aroma means pleasant smell and therapy means treatment. The essential oils are the pure essence from the plant, which is known to cure various ailments if used correctly. Many get confused between perfume oils, fragrance oils and essential oils. Both perfume oils and fragrance oils are same, however essential oils are different. Perfume or fragrance oils just provide fragrance but they don't carry any therapeutic benefits like the essential oils.

What are the benefits of ‘aroma' from the essential oils? When essential oils are used in right amounts, they have great therapeutic uses.

If essential oils are used in large amounts it may causes severe problems like head aches, eye and skin irritations.

Essential oils also provide other benefits as well. Some oils, for instance, act as a natural insect repellent. This is a cruelty-free option to drive away insets. We use Citronella candles, to keep mosquitoes away. Here Citronella is an essential oil which is the ingredient used in the candles that provide this benefit. Essential oils are also used as room refreshers; they are basically added to the mixture of dried flower petals and placed in glass bowels. Essential oils are also mixed while making candles, these candles when burnt releases pleasant smell. Such candles are called aroma candles, if used while meditating and during yoga this will provide more positive effects.
