*Legal definitions of "Aromatherapy" and essential oil applications as well as level of purity of essential oils remains disparate in various countries. Essential oil uses include cosmetic, fragrance, disinfecting, dietary and topical applications. Multiple markets of uses for essential oils require various regulatory agencies to monitor labeling and marketing of oils. Medical applications are currently under research in the United States. 

** Best Practices for Aromatherapy in Massage Therapy are through applying oils on the skin and through inhalation. Essential oils enhance the natural effects of massage such as muscle relaxation, circulation and reducing stress  responses.
