What Is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the art and science of using essential oils for improving and maintaining health on all levels. The term "AROMATHERAPIE" was coined in 1928 by a French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé who discovered the powerful healing effects of Lavender on a burn sustained in his laboratory.

What Are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are natural, organic substances which are often referred to as the "life force" of the plant. These oils are concentrated extractions from various parts of the plant such as the leaves, flowers, resins, bark and roots. All oils have therapeutic properties which affect our health on all levels.
