Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy works with your sense of smell and its relationship to the limbic system - the area of the brain connected to memory and emotion - to restore emotional and physical well-being, but can also be used topically for medicinal purposes.

Aromatherapy benefits usually involve stress relief, whether the scents are designed to calm you down or energize a tired immune system.
