'Aroma' derives from the Greek work for spice - today we use the word more broadly to mean fragrance - and 'therapy' means treatment, so aromatherapy literally means curative treatment by the use of scent.

Touch and Scent - Aromatherapy massage is an art that operates through the empathy between the person giving the massage and the aroma of the oils. Each blend of oils is individual, determined by the scents the recipient prefers and by their desired effect, whether it is to relieve minor ailments, to pamper with an aromatic beauty treatment, or simply to ease tension will a full body massage.
