Aromatherapy

Overview

Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils to enhance well-being and to stimulate a healthy physical, mental and emotional state. Essential oils are pure extracts from aromatic plants. They have a complex chemical structure from which their unique properties and active principles are derived. Aromatherapists blend therapeutic essential oils especially for each individual, and suggest methods of use such as topical application, massage, inhalation or water immersion, to stimulate the desired responses.
