Alternative health treatments
using scents have been around for thousands of years. Aromatherapy, the
term
currently used for this alternative medicine practice, has only been in use since the 1920s
when it
was created in France. Aromatherapy is the holistic
treatment
of caring for one's body with pleasant smelling essential oils such as rose, lemon, lavender or
peppermint.
Essential oils are the fragrant essences of plants in their purest, most
concentrated
state. These oils are found in different parts of plants such as the
flowers,
twigs, leaves, bark or in the fruit's rind. For example, it is found in
the
flowers of
roses, in the leaves of
basil, in the wood of sandalwood,
and even in the sap of the frankincense
tree.
The essential
oils are added to the bath or massaged into the skin, inhaled directly
or
diffused to scent an entire room. Aromatherapy can be used for the
relief of
pain, to care for the skin, to relieve tension and fatigue and to
revitalize
the entire body. Essential oils can affect the mood, treat fatigue,
reduce
anxiety and promote relaxation. When inhaled, they stimulate the
olfactory
nerves, the brain and the nervous system.
Our aromatherapy
grade essential oils are pure and never altered or diluted in any way.
We take
pride in providing high quality organic essential oils to our
customers. The methods used to extract the oils (steam distillation,
cold
pressed or CO2 extraction) are time consuming, expensive and require a
great
deal of expertise. Essential oils are the plant's soul, extracted to
bring the essence of "well-being" into your life. They are highly potent
extracts that have been referred to by Ayurvedic
medicine as
"liquid sun energy".
The price per milliliter or fluid ounce of
essential oils can change rapidly and abruptly depending on various
factors
such as crop yields or political instability. Click
