Why Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being. It uses aromatic essential oils, medicinally, to improve the health of the body, mind and spirit. Inhaling essential oils, stimulates the olfactory system (the part of the brain connected to smell). It enhances both physical and emotional health.
Each essential oil has an array of unique healing properties, uses & effects. Combining essential oils to create a synergistic blend creates even more benefits.
Just a couple drops of an essential oil (or essential oil blend) can be enough to permeate a small room, even from a corner.
Some of the few benefits that we have found with our essential oils blends are:
- Boosts immunity
- Helps fight bacteria, virus, or fungus
- Reduces stress, agitation, and anxiety
- Improves sleep quality
- Soothes sore joints
- Manages headaches and migraines
- Improves digestion
- Helps to manage pain
- And, if that isn’t enough, it just smells amazing!
Some oils are obtained from different parts of the plant and are used for different purposes. For example, essential oils collected from the bitter orange tree include: Neroli from the flowers, Petigrain from the leaves and twigs as well as Bitter Orange oil from the rind of the fruit.
The method of extraction determines if the seed oil is a carrier oil or an essential oil. If the seed oil was cold pressed, it is a lipid-based carrier oil. If the seed oil was steam distilled, it is a volatile, aromatic essential oil.
