20 legal herbs that can be vaporised in aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for therapeutic and holistic purposes. It can be performed using a process known as phytoinhalation. Vaporizers can be used to extract and inhale essential oils from various plants and herbs. Although some people believe that various ailments or diseases can be treated in this way, it is strongly recommended that you consult a doctor and aromatherapist before self-medicating with these herbs.

Keep in mind that you can also mix herbs with cannabis to add a new aromatic element to your session.
