Aromatherapy is the practice of using fragrant, pure essential oils to enhance the body, mind and spirit.

The ancient Egyptians used aromatic spices and oils in cosmetics, religious rituals and as medicine. The use of aromatics was also prevalent in the Greek and Roman civilizations.

Today essential oils are used to promote emotional wellness by calming, relaxing, rejuvenating or energizing. While aromatherapy may involve training and in-depth knowledge of the properties and effects of essential oils, it may also be practiced simply and safely to add beautiful aromas to our environment each day.

Essential oils and absolutes are very potent. They should always be used sparingly and in conjunction with a reliable reference. Most oils should not be applied directly to the skin. Ingesting some oils can cause health problems or be fatal.
