Aromatherapy & Essential Oils

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing practice that utilizes the aromatic properties of essential oils extracted from plants to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It has been used for centuries and is based on the belief that the inhalation or topical application of essential oils can have therapeutic effects on the body and mind.

Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts obtained from various parts of plants, including flowers, leaves, bark, stems, and roots. They capture the plant's aromatic compounds and can have distinct scents and therapeutic properties. Examples of popular essential oils include lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree, chamomile, and lemon.

Essential oils are believed to have a range of therapeutic effects. Different oils can have varying properties, such as calming, energizing, uplifting, soothing, or antibacterial. These properties are often associated with the specific chemical constituents present in the oils.
