1. Aromatherapy can be both preventative and used as active treatment during illness or dis-ease.
2. It is a sensual art and a beautiful way to treat your self.
3. Aromatherapy takes the best that nature has to offer, beautiful aromas, and brings it into our homes, our cars, and our workplaces. Oooohh!

The power of essential oils may be used in a number of ways. One of the most popular is massage. You may be given a blend to add to your bath, to use as an inhalation, to keep in your purse, etc.

No, not all plants contain essential oils. Not all essential oils are therapeutic.

Essential oils are obtained from plants and herbs, including leaves, roots, fruit, grasses, flowers, berries, gums and barks.

Aromatherapy is not a new therapy; in fact it's been around for thousands of years. Yet only in the last century have we researched this healing modality.

Essential oils are volatile. This means that once you have opened a bottle they begin to evaporate. Always close the bottle after use, or your precious oils will disappear. Then store them in a cool and dry place.
