Aromatherapy is based on the use of volatile fluid floral materials which are also known as essentials oils. This therapeutic method is equally associated with the other practices in spiritual and medical fields. The term ‘aromatherapy’ was coined by the French chemist, Rene Maurice Gattefosse, who also focused on the importance of lavender oil.
The various branches of aromatherapy include home aromatherapy, clinical aromatherapy and finally, aromachology. The oils mostly used for this are, eucalyptus, jasmine, and citrus oils like grapefruit, lemon, orange etc. The woody materials for incense like sandal wood and cedar wood, and spices like cinnamon and cloves are also used by this therapeutic system. Phytoncides are used to eradicate the microbes in the plants. The prices of aromatherapy oils vary based on the amount of harvest and from country to country. Their price is also depended on the type of extraction involved. Degrees of distillation the oil has gone through also decide its price and quality.
For example, Indian sandalwood is more in demand compared to Australian sandalwood and is doubly priced. According to the U.S medical professionals, the effectiveness of aromatherapy can hardly be proved and the effects which it claims to produce are often psychological in nature. Relaxation and mental relief, though effectuated by this therapy, are highly subtle effects which can be better felt than proved.
