Aromatherapy is the process of using essential oils from a variety of plant sources to affect mood. Frequently used as part of a complementary alternative medicine approach, aromatherapy has many adherents. Many aromatherapy oils have an antiseptic quality to them. For example, using drops of peppermint oil along doorways and borders can keep ants out of your home just as effectively as chemical sprays. Aromatherapy is also commonly used in conjunction with massage to increase a relaxation effect.
