About Aromatherapy


Aromatherapy is a very precise art dependent on the use of pure essential oils – the distilled vital essence of a plant with its complex hydrocarbons that develop naturally within flower leaves, roots, barks and fruit rind.

A single drop of pure essential oil is equivalent to an ounce of living plant.  The essence is, therefore, highly potent and therapeutic action takes place on an more subtle level than, herbalism; which is weaker in potency and limited to the area of application.  The pure essential oils work principally in two ways.  They have an instant effect on the mental state of the individual through inhalation and through absorption by application.

Aromatherapy has a direct and profound effect on the mind and emotions of an individual as the sense of smell has a direct access to the human brain and emotions.  It works at a subconscious level to modify emotional behaviour, increase the mental ability, stimulate positive feelings and control the negatives ones.  It triggers pleasant memories and feelings, enhance emotional equilibrium, calm, relax, energize and promote sexual feeling as well.  Pure essential oils also have medicinal values like antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-toxic, anti-diuretic, anti-neuralgic, anti-rheumatic, anti spasmodic etc.

Aromatherapy – a new dimension to skin, hair, body care and personal hygiene.
