They are offered as a sacrifice to gods and goddess to heal the body, ensure the harvest and to help maintain peace and wellbeing.

Different oils have different scents and each scent is used for certain rituals. There is appropriate oil for purifications, mental awareness and revitalizing one's energy. This practice has been with us for centuries now. Religious group also do this practice for their spiritual beliefs.

Today, while normal aromatherapy uses oils only for massage and inhalation to help released tension and stress, ritual oils that are used are targeted for a more extensive process.

Ritual aromatherapy works to the extent of attracting financial gain and love to come your way. It can also be use to clam and remove the stress. Once you smell the aroma of this therapy it will lead your conscious psychic energy together and somehow will create the desired change.

During the process, the practitioner becomes receptor of the conscious mind. The aroma stimulates bioelectrical energies to claim the central nervous system. It weakens the tension of the muscles so that the psychological awareness will be stronger. Once the aroma is aligned with the strong energy, it projects into the atmosphere and creates change.
