Aromatherapy is actually a generic term that refers to many different types of  
traditions that make use of plant matter and essential oils to create a more  
positive atmosphere in conjunction with benefiting someone's quality of life.  
All current treatments throughout the Western civilized world that use  
essential oils and plant matter are considered aromatherapy rather than  
actual medical treatments. In general, aromatherapy is a form of therapy that  
is meant to help someone relax or to reduce stress. Aromatherapy is  
practiced using essential oils and volatile plant oils to create psychological  
and physical sensations. It usually requires scented compounds created  
through volatile plant materials, essential oils or similar herbal products and it  
is used as a form of alternative medicine for positively affecting a person's  
health or mood. All of these many uses have made aromatherapy a very  
popular treatment method among alternative medicines. Many people who  
do not like the sometimes unpleasant side effects of prescribed medication,  
particularly for depression stress or other similar disorders have opted to use  
aromatherapy to help reach the desired state of being. You might think of  
some of these people as oddballs for choosing to use aromatherapy instead  
of other synthetic medications, but it has proven to be effective in certain  
circumstances when used appropriately or with the permission of a  
physician. Aromatherapy has been used in one form of another for  
thousands of years. Throughout time, people have used essential oils and  
plant matter to try to heal illnesses and cure diseases. For this reason, it is  
hard to give a specific date or event timeline for the creation and  
development of aromatherapy for pain relief. Tenth May dawned bright and  
clear. For the past few days I had been pleasantly besieged by dignitaries  
and world leaders who were coming to pay their respects before the  
inauguration. The inauguration would be the largest gathering ever of  
international leaders on South African soil. The ceremonies took place in the  
lovely sandstone amphitheatre formed by the union buildings in pretoria. For  
decades this had been the seat of white supremacy, and now it was the site  
of a rainbow gathering of different colours and nations for the installation of  
South Africa's first democratic, non-racial government. On that lovely autumn  
day I was accompanied by my daughter Zenani. On the podium, Mr Klerk  
was first sworn in as second deputy president. Then Mbeki was sworn in as  
first deputy president
