Aromatherapy is the use of aromatic plant extracts, known as essential oils, to enhance the aroma of an environment with pleasing scents of nature. The history of aromatherapy can be traced back to ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and Indians. These cultures used essential oils for a variety of purposes, including religious rituals, perfumery, and personal hygiene.
Aromatherapy is used today in a variety of settings, including spas, salons, hospitals, and homes. The essential oils are commonly diffused into the air through an aromatherapy diffuser. If diluted first with a carrier oil, they also can be inhaled via an inhaler, added to massage oils, or packaged in a roll-on applicator for topical application to the wrists and temples.

Floral:
Citrus:

When choosing essential oils
When choosing essential oils to diffuse, it is important to consider the size of the space you are diffusing in, as well as your personal preferences. For example, a strong citrus aroma may be overpowering in a small room, while a delicate floral aroma may be lost in a large room.
