Aromatherapy is a holistic therapy using therapeutic essential oils, extracted from plants, flowers, leaves, roots, barks, resins and rinds of some fruits, to aid in the healing and enhancing of the body, mind, and spirit. Aromatherapy can be used in lotions, creams, soaps, perfumes, and around the house.
Aromatherapy is both an art and a science - it is an art in creating beautiful aromatic blends, as well as science, using the essential oils for their therapeutic benefits, chemical constituents, and knowing their contraindications.

Caution:
Essential Oils are concentrated essences from plants, and should always be diluted before application to the skin to avoid irritation.

Ensure that you are aware of the contraindications of the oils that you are using and consult with your doctor or a certified aromatherapist if you have health concerns or questions.
