Aromatherapy
What is Aromatherapy?
The history of aromatherapy begins over 3500 years BC. Aromatics were at the time for religious purposes, perfume, and medicine. The actual term "aromatherapy" was invented by the French chemist Rene-Maurice Gattefosse in 1935 after a burn incident, he claimed he treated it effectively with lavender essential oil.
We basically know it as a pseudoscience based on the usage of aromatic materials, including essential oils, and other aroma compounds, with claims for improving psychological or physical well-being. Wikipedia

We have made a little "Cuddlekin" that our star loves. He couldn't sleep without it.
It is made out of a special sensory material that he adores on one side, and fluffy white material on the other. We use this with Aromatherapy to apply the scent without the oil touching our star. He loves it.

Please follow the advice of medical doctors prior to starting any oil or aroma regimen at your home.
While essential oils and other aroma techniques are natural at their base, they can also be toxic if ingested or used improperly. Keep all therapy supplies out of reach of your star. Not recommended for stars 3 months or younger. Oils used directly on the skin must be diluted correctly or could cause severe irritation. If an allergic reaction begins to occur go to the nearest hospital immediately, call 911 or your police/fire dept, or poison control.
