100% Pure Essential Oils
Pure Essential Oils have their own properties and effects. When properly used, the effects of the oils can be either stimulating or relaxing (depending on the oil(s) selected). They can soothe and heal the mind, beautify the body and skin, stimulate the senses or induce feelings of calmness.
Aromatherapy uses essential oils extracted from flowers, herbs, trees and plants to enhance health, harmony and well-being. The name ‘essential’ is derived from the Latin "Quintessential", meaning the fifth element. The fifth element was the vital element the Alchemist sought to change base metals into gold. Essential oils have always been regarded as potent and precious substances having the tremendous ability to operate not only on the physical level but in the emotional, intellectual, spiritual and aesthetic areas of our lives without the use of chemicals. They provide a treatment which is in total biochemical harmony with the human body without being invasive. Essential oils do not need to pass through the digestive system coming into contact with food and bacteria with which it could chemically interact but can be applied through the skin by massage oils, osmosis in the bath, by various methods of inhalation, compresses, foot baths, hair rinses, lotions, mouth washes and vaporizers.
The practice of Aromatherapy is considered to be a holistic therapy. This means it takes into account the whole of our bodies and not just on specific area; this makes good sense as all the systems and organs of our body are dependant on one another to maintain homeostatis; aromatherapy seeks to optimize and maintain such a healthy balance. Classed as a complementary therapy aromatherapy is now offered by many hospitals and hospices who employ aromatherapists to enhance people’s general well-being and optimize their quality of life.
Essential oils are one of the great untapped resources of the world, a natural system that helps to maintain health and wellbeing.
