As already mentioned, the main therapy of Ayurveda is herbal, and food or nutrition has a secondary focus. These treatments primarily operate at the gross physical or external level. Aromatherapy, jewelry care, color and Mantra therapies (or sound) work more subtly, soothing the mind, senses and absorption of subtle feelings.

Healing is given with pure fragrances. Incense shapes, floral essences and essential oils are widely used in aromas. Pure scented candles, soaps and sachets are other types of aromatherapy. Aromas are pure when they are most successful. They are used externally, and certain oils burn the skin unless they are combined with dilute or base oil. The mucus membranes will be weakened if taken internally. The eyes or anybody hole should not be too close to them.
