"Aromatherapy: 
the use of plant essences either inhaled, applied, or massaged into the skin to effect therapeutic changes."

Aromatherapy consists of the use of pure essential oils obtained from a wide assortment of plants which have been steam distilled or cold-pressed from flowers, fruit, bark or roots.

Aromatherapy can help ease a variety of physical and emotional ailments, from aches, pains, injuries, to depression, stress, anxiety, insomnia, just to name a few.  I like to combine aromatherapy with the use of herbs in the form of liquid tinctures, ointments, and herbal teas.  My first successful 'natural therapy' consisted of treating my migraines and fibromyalgia.

Synthetic fragrance oils and perfumes, which are mass produced to imitate the fragrance of the natural essential oils, are not effective substitutes, they have no therapeutic values and many are, in fact, skin irritants.

Our Therapeutic EO Blends and our Massage/Body Oils are diluted with carrier oils for use on the skin.  Because most essential oils are too strong to be used on the skin neat (alone), they must be diluted in a carrier oil.

Some carrier oils can be used alone, but some must be diluted with another carrier oil(s); i.e., jojoba, coconut, and olive oil can all be used alone, but evening primrose, avocado, borage and others should be used in a 10% or less dilution with another carrier oil.  Also, essential oils are effective, and sometimes more effective, when used diluted, so it is not necessary to use them in high strengths.  Less is often more where essential oils are concerned; extend them by properly blending and diluting them.  Let us know if you need any assistance.

Custom blending of our therapeutic oils for targeted symptoms can produce sometimes subtle, and sometimes dramatic results.
