Aromatherapy, for example, using ground meat, butter, tea and thyme, essentially (6,9)

'aromatherapy' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'example using ground meat butter tea and thyme essentially' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'example' could be 'beauty' (beauty is a kind of example) and 'beauty' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'meat' is 'eatm' which is present in the answer.
'tea' could be 't' (I've seen this in other clues) and 't' is found within the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ret' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.
