Aromatherapy is the use of scented oils to promote mental and/or physical changes in the body. The oils used in aromatherapy are highly concentrated extracts taken from parts of plants, like grasses, leaves, flowers, fruit peels, roots and wood. A pure essential oil is made in one of two ways. One method is through distillation of the plant components by water or steam. The essential oil is then separated from the water. The second method of production, cold pressing (also known as expression), uses mechanical pressing to “squeeze” oils from the plant. It is often used to capture oils from the rinds of citrus fruits. more on aromatherapy
