In recent years, natural and complementary therapies have become increasingly popular as people seek holistic ways to support their health alongside conventional medicine. Among these approaches, aromatherapy has emerged as one of the fastest-growing wellness practices.

Studies also indicate that aromatherapy may relieve pain, calm the nervous system, and influence mood by stimulating specific areas of the brain through the sense of smell. Certain oils are even associated with positive behavioral changes. This article explores aromatherapy?s origins, scientific basis, and its growing role in modern wellness practices.
