It is often wondered, where did the term aromatherapy originate? Interestingly enough, it came from French researcher and cosmetic chemist, PhD, Dr. Rene-Maurice Gattefosse'. He is widely regarded as the father of modern aromatherapy. He and a group of scientists began studying essential oils in 1907.

Have you ever wondered why when you smell certain scents, odors, and aromas, it triggers immediately emotions, imagery, associations, and feelings? Often we don't even consciously recognize that we have emotional and physical response till later after the fact.
