What is Aromatherapy?

Simply put, aromatherapy is the use of selected fragrances in lotions and inhalants in an effort to affect mood and promote health. It is believed that particular fragrances evoke particular moods and cause secretion of the brain chemicals that are associated with those moods.

Below is a list of fragrances, the moods they evoke and the brain chemicals they stimulate.
