Aromatherapy, the inhaling of essential oils to heal our bodies and influence emotions, dates back thousands of years. Aromatic oils were used by the royal families of ancient Egypt. The Toltecs and Aztecs of pre-Columbian Mexico built stone houses where they treated physical and mental disturbances with steamy herb vapors.

Today, science is confirming what some cultures have known for centuries: scent can arouse feelings, suppress urges and even provide curative benefit to certain physical ailments. Simply by inhaling, you send scent molecules into your system where they entirely bypass the brain-blood barrier and move directly to you brain's olfactory nerve. There they are received by the limbic system, your body's control center for emotions, memory, stress response, metabolic function and sexual arousal.
