aromatherapy
Essential oil therapy
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils and plant extracts for therapeutic purposes—typically inhaled or applied to the skin during massage.
Proponents claim various health benefits: relaxation, stress relief, improved mood.
The spa offers aromatherapy treatments.
The term suggests wellness rather than medical treatment, and scientific evidence for its effects remains limited.
