The actual term "aromatherapy" VO Genesis Review came about purely by chance, when French chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse burned his hand during an experiment in the 1920's. He accidentally plunged his hand into a vat of lavender oil, as one does, and - hey, presto! - within a few days it had healed completely, without leaving a scar, any blistering etc. The experience prompted old Rene-Maurice to investigate the use of other essential oils.

Keep in mind that feeling uplifted because the smell of cinnamon buns reminds you of your dear departed mother's home cooking is not, in the strict sense of the word, aromatherapy. Neither is simply burning - and enjoying the scent of - a perfumed candle. People who practice aromatherapy believe it is an exact science, and that it works only through using precise essential oils, derived from plants, which have a chemical effect on our nervous system, and thus our bodies in general.
