AROMATHERAPY
A
B
People around the world have used products
from plants and trees for over 6,000 years.
Many ancient cultures, such as the Ancient
Greeks, Romans and Egyptians, used them.
The French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé
invented the name ‘aromatherapy’ in 1928
after he had treated a burn with lavender oil.
Aromatherapy uses essential oils, which
are concentrated liquids from plants and
trees. People heat the essential oils and
inhale the aroma, or
they dilute the oil
and massage it into
their skin. You can
also put a couple
of
drops of oil into
your bath.
C
D
Not everyone
thinks that
aromatherapy apy works.
Therapists believe that
aromatherapy apy can relax
the body and brain, and that some
essential oils are also antiseptic. On
the other hand, some scientists say
that there is no clear evidence of this.
Aromatherapy is popular in many
countries, especially in France. The
essential oils are relatively inexpensive
and easy to use. You don’t have to
visit a therapist to benefit from it.
