Aromatherapy is derived from two words. Aroma- meaning fragrance or smell and Therapy- meaning treatment. Although it is popularly known as the use of fragrances to affect or alter the mood or behavior; in reality, it is a "Science behind Nature". Aromatherapy is actually the therapeutic use of aromatic plant extracts and essential oils based on specific plant chemo types.

Therapeutic treatment with essential oils has its roots firmly planted in human history as one of the oldest and purest forms of treatment for overall wellness. Evidence of the practice of Aromatic Medicine -- the ancient beginnings of the art and science of blending essential oils -- has been found in both Egypt and India, dating back more than 4,000 years. At the beginning of last century, particularly in France and England, a movement by noted doctors and scholars in the medical and naturopathic communities prompted a reawakening to the benefits of essential oils.

An essential oil is a liquid that is generally distilled (most frequently by steam or water) from the leaves, stems, flowers, bark, roots, or other elements of a plant. Essential oils, contrary to the use of the word "oil" are not really oily-feeling at all. Most essential oils are clear, but some oils such as patchouli, orange and lemongrass are amber or yellow in color. Essential oils are highly concentrated and a little goes a long way. Hydrosol is the water that remains after producing an essential oil via steam or water distillation. Hydrosols are sometimes also referred to as floral or distillate water.

Most chemicals may temporarily heal the skin condition but it not only doesn't cure the root cause of the problem but also has long-term damaging effects. Union Street apothecary’s featured product for ACNE- Aroma Clear regulates oil glands to control acne. The human skin is not intended for chemicals. It is important to cure nature with natural products. Aromatherapy oils are absorbed through the skin and into the blood stream. In skin preparations a certain amount of these oils will be inhaled during their application. The smell alone can have an effect on the mind and as a result also on the body. Inhaling the oils also has a direct result on the body as the oils are inhaled into the lungs and directly into the blood stream.
