Aromatherapy, both an art and a science, is the theraputic use of 100% pure essential oils for the support and well-being of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual areas of our lives. Since essential oils are a product of plants, usually through steam distillation of plant material, they are enviromentally friendly. They can also be used in the creation of effective, non-toxic household cleaners. Animals, such as dogs and horses can also benefit from the use of essential oils. Incorporating essential oils into your life will make you a believer in "Aromatherapy for Life." |
