Aromatherapy works from the premise that scent affects mood, and the more concentrated the scent, the more effective. The practice often employs essential oils. Sandalwood, peppermint, bergamot and many others are distilled from their respective plants until reaching the essential oil. The oil can then be burned like incense or inhaled from the bottle.

Part of the practice is discovering what effects each scent has -- does it inspire, encourage intuition, calm, energize?

Because the effects are subtle and vary from person to person, the science benefits from lot of dialogue between practitioners.
