There are various classifications, ideas, and schools of aromatherapy, and one of them is spiritual aromatherapy.
The spiritual side of aromatherapy
Spiritual aromatherapy is a therapy that uses aromatherapy for spiritual purposes such as mental improvement, cosmic energy, and harmony with the soul.
Since ancient times, humans have used fragrances in prayers and ceremonies. Even in Buddhism, incense sticks are provided, and the custom is still seen in our daily lives.
Modern spiritual aromatherapy was created in the late 1900s based on New Age mysticism, which also incorporates Chinese thought and Western astrology.
However, some people disregard scientific theory and use essential oils and fragrances that are inappropriate for actual physical therapy, and the method of application is controversial.
