Aromatherapy is becoming a more well recognised medical and thereautic practice every year, and is used in everything from relaxation and mood alteration to the treatment of specific health complaints. Aromatherapy is a generic term that can be used to refer to a number of individual practices and disciplines, as long as they all involve the use of essential plant oils and other aromatic plant compounds.
While scientific evidence is very weak when it comes to aromatherapy, lots of people all over the world swear by the positive effects that certain treatments have had on their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well being.

Aromatherapy is being used more often as a way for people to relax and unwind, and can be enjoyed in this context even if you are a hard boiled sceptic when it comes to alternative medicine. The alternative medical community and the mainstream beauty and relaxation industry often have very different goals in mind when the design and develop aromatherapy products, and these products are often marketed to very different people as well.

Aromatherapy oils such as Lavender, Ylang Ylang, and Tea Tree are used by people for a number of everyday purposes, including relaxation, stimulation, and cleanliness. An aromatherapy business needs to have lots of oils on hand at any given time, and often needs a Garage or storage room where they can store the oils and other equipment. Some of the materials that are needed by an aromatherapy operation include essential oils, absolutes, phytoncides, herbal distillates, infusions, and carrier oils. A lot of laboratory style equipment is also often needed to process different tinctures and create the various medicines.

Large scale aromatherapy operations may use dedicated Carports and garages (Garagen) to store their many materials, while others may simply use any available space at the back of their stores or home car garages. Aromatherapy has become a growing industry all over the world, as people start to become aware of the use of essential oils as a relaxation alternative. For anyone going into the business however, it is vital to get all of the storage and equipment solutions sorted out before doors are opened to the public
