WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?

Essential Oils are extracted from a natural plant source such as flowers, roots, leaves, barks, grasses, seeds or fruits. In most cases, the botanical is subjected to steam distillation and the resulting oil may or may not mimic the original aroma of the plant. Distillation is an art form with many variables affecting the final outcome.

AROMATHERAPY…MORE THAN JUST A TRENDY WORD

The therapeutic use of essential oils covers a very wide spectrum. This is part of their unique charm. Aromatherapy is an approach to wellness that utilizes essential oils in wide range of methods, including vaporization, bathing, massage, steam inhalation, first-aid purposes and the treatment of common complaints. This approach is in the ancient tradition of herbal “simples”, home remedies, originally passed from one generation to another.
