Aromatherapy, also known as essential oil therapy, is defined by the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy as the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit. The term was first coined in 1937, but since then, the definition has become an all encompassing name for products including diffusers, beauty items and more.
In order to get the most from your aromatherapy experience, it’s important to understand how the term is being used on modern-day products, said Jessie Violet, a licensed massage therapist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s Center for Integrative Medicine.
“Many people have a tendency to think that if something is advertised as aromatherapy that means it’s something natural,” Violet told HuffPost. “Some of those products that you see in stores are completely unregulated by any laws … and their use of the term aromatherapy can be just a product with perfume. It indicates nothing about its natural status.”Some of those products that you see in stores are completely unregulated by any laws … and their use of the term aromatherapy can be just a product with perfume.

In order to ensure you’re purchasing actual aromatherapy products, she advises shoppers to always read the label.
