Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils extracted from plants to treat the body, mind, and spirit. Essential oils are highly concentrated aromatic chemicals extracted from flowers, seeds, grasses, barks, fruits, roots, leaves, and trees through various extraction methods. Essential oils must be stored in cool, dark glass bottles and clearly labeled, while carrier oils help dilute and transport the essential oils for therapeutic use.
