According to the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA) aromatherapy can assist in balancing our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. The term “aromatherapy” was coined in 1937 by a French perfumer and chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse. In his book “Gattefose’s Aromatherapy”, he presented his clinical findings in using essential oils for a spectrum of physical imbalances.
With the increasing demand for holistic health care and the ‘green revolution’, the demand for aromatherapy will increase, and hopefully we will reach the point where medical doctors incorporate it into their repertoire. It will become routine for doctors to send culture samples to the pharmacist for testing, and identify the relevant aromatherapy for the patient. The stress-relieving properties associated with aromatherapy make it an indispensable part of health care.
