What is aroma?
Pure fragrances are used for healing. Aromas
are commonly used in the forms of incense flower
essences, and essential oils. Other methods of
aromatherapy include pure scented candles, soaps,
and sachets. Aromas are most effective when pure
(i.e., not diluted with chemical substances). They
are used externally, and unless mixed with a diluting
or base oil, some oils burn the skin. If taken
internally, the mucus membranes would be harmed.
They should not be placed too close to the eyes or
any bodily orifice.
