So, what exactly is aromatherapy? Experts refer to aromatherapy as an alternative healing method to promote health within your body and mind.  The use of essential oils derived from natural plant extracts has been used as therapy for almost 6,000 years.

The two most common ways to practice aromatherapy is through sense of smell and by applying it to skin topically. Inhaling the essential oils (commonly through a diffuser) is believed to relieve congestion, offer respiratory disinfection and improve psychological health. The oil is dispersed through the diffuser offering a pleasant smell and health benefits. All Star Health carries several diffusers that can aid you in your oil therapy.
