Ancient cultures across the globe have all used massage techniques and aromatic flowers or herbs to help people. Tinctures and teas made from certain plants and herbs were considered invaluable medicines in their time. It is funny how the word came about from sheer coincidence.
Sure, we may not have always used the term "aromatherapy" when using an essential oil, but that does not mean that their use has gone unnoticed over the last thousand years. Many of those same scents have been used for different purposes throughout history. Aromatherapy oils are just the name we have placed on them now. Take for example lavender as a healing agent, as Gattefosse proved when he submerged his arm in the liquid.
Aromatherapy oils can be used in a few different ways. You can inhale them through aerial diffusion or direct inhalation. You can have them placed on your skin or you can ingest the essential oil through an oral application, such as tea.
If one method does not seem to work for you, then try another method or combine a few to get the desired results. You should look into using essential oils for aromatherapy in your life. You may be surprised at how great you can feel when there is no stress building up in your neck and shoulder muscles.
