Aromatherapy for insomnia

Aromatherapy is concerned with aroma, or odour, which induces an effect on the human body. This is because our senses of smell works on a subconscious level, and smell can effect emotional behaviour. Olfactory nerves affect memory and thought. Different odours can stimulate the brain and evoke images or feelings associated with that particular smell; Aromatherapy uses this in dealing with mental and emotional aspects of healing. Different smells are used to stimulate or relax the patient as the need may be.
