Natural aromatherapy with essential oils...
Do you wonder if Aromatherapy really works? Well, for 6000 years since the Egyptians discovered the therapeutic properties of pure plant essences taken from flowers herbs and trees this therapy has been appreciated and well documented!
Essential oils are the 100% pure living element, the life blood of the plant and require great care to extract from various parts of plant matter, such as seeds, fruit, leaves, bark and roots. They give each species its unique characteristic scent and each oil has differing properties selected to treat systems of the body and imbalances of the emotions - hence the term "Aromatherapy" - a therapy using aroma.
The effects can be soothing, stimulating, healing or beautifying depending on the oils chosen. The oils can be applied in two ways. Firstly by vaporization or inhalation when the aromatic oil is picked up by nerves in the nose having a direct effect on our mood and emotions before being inhaled into the lungs. Secondly by absorption through the skin and into the bloodstream through bathing or massage. In both applications the blood is transported throughout the body and the oils will start to do their work.
Aromatherapy oils can be used alone, or more can be blended together either to enhance their healing properties or simply to create a pleasing scent. The possible combinations are endless, the only limit being your imagination - so have some fun and get mixing!
Aromatherapy oils are highly concentrated substances and need to be treated with respect. Never take internally, always dilute before using on the skin. Just follow our simple guidelines on using the oils along with the safety data for the individual oils which can be found in the catalogue.
It is worth explaining that different plants yield varying quantities of oil which accounts for the considerable difference in price between, for example, a citrus oil which is found in such profusion in the peel of the fruit and Rose oil, which requires 60,000 rose petals to produce 1oz of oil! So, although some essential oils may seem quite expensive you have to remember that a 5ml bottle contains about 100 drops of oil which is sufficient for up to 20 aromatic baths or 20 massages - now that is great value for money!
