Medicinal power of flowers can help to cure a host of ills

All gardens have healing power thanks to natural plant aromatherapy, writes Fiann Ó Nualláin

I AM a big fan of natural aromatherapy. Nipping into the garden for a quick energy boost, headache remedy or stress relief — as the occasion arises. I like essential oils, use them all the time as natural remedies, but they are perhaps more about how the body reacts as they are absorbed through the skin, with the active oil temporary tweaking the limbic region of the brain via the fragrance.
