Aromatherapy is known as the use of highly concentrated extracts of trees, plants, herbs and flowers in order to promote health and well-being. These extracts, which are known as pure essential oils, hold many healing properties and can be used pharmacologically, physiologically and psychologically.
The art of aromatheraphy was used by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Today essential oils can be found in a variety of natural products, including cosmetics, massage oils, skin care products, bath blends, perfumes, soaps and toothpaste. Essiantial oils make these every day items extraordinary.
A thousand years ago it was discovered how powerful essential oils are. On average, essential oils have one hundred components each, and some may contain many more. These varied components are what make the oils so useful in healing and perfuming.
