\n\u201cTrue\u201d aromatherapy, according to Liz Fulcher, director of the Aromatic Wisdom Institute in Selinsgrove, Penn., and a clinical aromatherapy therapist, involves using plant extracts that have emotional and physical healing properties. \u201cIt\u2019s the chemistry of the oil, not the smell, that makes the difference,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen it comes to attacking a problem, it doesn\u2019t even matter if you have a sense of smell. It still works. Each oil has its own chemistry and interacts with the body in different ways, depending on its molecular structure. It might be antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, expectorant, decongestant, skin nourishing, or digestive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The essential oil comes from that part of the plant responsible for its signature aroma, the glands. The glands are full of liquid\u2014essential oil\u2014that contributes to the well-being of the plant, as well as to those who use it. For this reason, synthetics don\u2019t work. They may smell good, but they don\u2019t contain the chemistry\u2014the essential oil\u2014that facilitates healing.<\/p>\n
