Essential oils -caring for yourself

 Essential oils are aromatherapy's active ingredients.  Aromatherapy is a powerful therapy that is now well-recognised and well utilised for helping to deal with a variety of physical and emotional problems using aromatic essential oils from plants.

Essential oils contain hormones, antibiotics, pheromones and cell regenerating agents that nourish, energise and protect the living plant. These properties strengthen the plant’s immunity to disease by killing bacteria and neutralising viruses. By extracting essential oils from plants we harness their healing qualities and apply them to the human body.

A popular method of using essential oils is by “vapourising” in an oil-burner or vapouriser. However essential oils are far more effective when they come into contact with the body, through direct application, massage, spritzer, bathing, gargle and inhalation.
