What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy is a practice that uses genuine and authentic plant derived essential oils that are typically inhaled or applied topically to promote physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Aromatherapy aims to support health, alleviate stress, enhance mood, and support overall wellness. In 1937, a French perfumer and chemist, Rene-Maurice Gattefossé coined the term “aromatherapié” with his publication of a book by that name. His intention for coining the word was to clearly distinguish the medicinal application of essential oils from their perfumery applications.
“To reach the individual, we need an individual remedy. Each of us is a unique message. It is only the unique remedy that will suffice. We must, therefore, seek odoriferous substances that present affinities with the human being we intend to treat, those that will compensate for his deficiencies and those that will make his faculties blossom.” Marguerite Maury
What are Essential Oils?

Safe Use of Essential Oils
Avoid contact with eyes. Keep all essential oils out of reach of children and pets. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Avoid using internally or undiluted unless working with a qualified aromatherapist or healthcare practitioner. Store essential oils away from direct heat and sunlight.
