Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for improving one‘s quality of life.Most people experience stress and various negative feelings throughout their life. The ways we deal with stress determines how it affects our well-being. When we talk about stress we usually refer to psychological or emotional tension, however, stress is also a physical condition. Running a marathon, shift work, intensive manual labour, prolonged exposure to heat or cold, chronic pain, inadequate diet and mineral or vitamin deficiencies are all examples of physical stress. Aromatherapy can help relieve various symptoms of stress, and do so in a natural way.

Essential oil is a liquid comprised of natural volatile compounds, mostly of hydrocarbons called terpenes, extracted from various parts of beneficial plants. This is done by simply distilling or steam distilling those plant parts, as well as (when it comes to citrus fruits) by using a procedure called expression.Every plant species has a unique combination of around 100 or more different kinds of terpenes, which enables them to have a distinct scent. Terpenes may be found in a plant‘s blossom, roots, leaves, bark, stem or seeds.
