What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the art and science of using essential oils to help promote the health of your body, mind and spirit.

Man has used extracted oils for religious and medicinal use since at least 3500BC.  

Modern day distillation allows us to capture the volatile oils that the plants themselves use to maintain their own wellness and proliferation.

Essential oils can be extracted from the roots, bark, resin, flowers, leaves, cones, seeds and fruit of a plant or tree.  In fact, did you know that we obtain Neroli, Petitgrain and Bitter Orange all from the same tree?

Essential oils are cultivated from all over the world.  Here are some beautiful images for you:
