Aromatherapy uses the therapeutic properties of natural oils (essential oils) obtained from plants, to benefit health. It is a holistic therapy which seeks to treat the whole person - not just physical symptoms. The oils can be inhaled, applied directly to the skin by way of massage (in a carrier oil or lotion) or used in the bath.

Each oil has different therapeutic properties, oils may be analgesic (pain relieving), relaxing, stimulating, decongestant, hormone balancing, warming… these are just a few examples. The oils' properties are many and varied. When essential oils are inhaled or absorbed through the skin they reach the bloodstream and are then carried to every part of the body including the brain, enabling them to affect the physical body and the emotions.
