Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the use of aromatic plant extracts and essential oils.
Essential oils have been used to improve quality of life since the beginning of civilization. Today we continue to use essential oils to support balance and peace within our lives.
Essential oils are found in seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other plant parts. They provide the plant with protection against predators and disease and play a role in plant pollination. If you've ever smelled a rose or a sprig of basil, you've experienced essential oils.
Essential oils are highly concentrated, about 50-70 times more powerful than herbs. Less is more. One drop of peppermint essential oil contains the equivalent of 28 cups of peppermint tea!
Essential oils and aromatherapy have been shown to:
• Support a healthy immune system
